The first time I went by the store to hear the Super Lintons was on a Monday. I parked in front of the store close to a customer and employee loading the customer’s car with some merchandise. I was in the car a minute, then went to the front door, which was locked. The employee was walking away (inside). I knocked, but got no response. I then see the hours sign saying they are closed Mondays. Fine, maybe my “fault” for not checking first, but a little effort to have human interaction encourages a potential customer to come back to purchase what are, essentially, luxury items. Today, Saturday, I tried again. No other cars out front, three employees inside. One (I took for management, maybe wasn’t, but looked the oldest) asked could he help me, and I replied that it was a good day to listen to a good stereo, which seemed to make him pause. I said I was interested in hearing the Lintons. “Which ones?” “Super Lintons”. Another pause and he’s looking at me like I had the name wrong or maybe calculating my ”buy-ability” vs his time/effort. I asked if that wasn’t the correct name, and he said it was, but they didn’t have them after the initial period when newly released. “No room in the store…” Odd, but OK, I guess. They do have a lot of merchandise in there, I suppose, but can’t be sure because that seemed to be the end of his sales effort. No “I’m sorry, would you like to listen to the regular Lintons ( /KEFs/whatever)?” He appeared done with me, so I said thanks and turned to go, the only potential customer in the store. I did step in a room with McIntosh equipment just to look. I’ve had McIntosh…good stuff. My e-bike costs more than the Super Lintons. Maybe he was having a bad day, maybe my initial comment made me look unserious, I don’t know. It just left a bad taste in my mouth.
