I understood what you said and what you meant. That's why I responded
the way that I did. You haven't offered any backing except to say that
the rep offered you some mini-systems. As a former Denon rep, I know
that I tailored my presentation to the sort of products that I thought
matched the venue - I *never* offered *everything* to *everyone*. That
could have certainly happened in your case as well. hell, Denon now
sells dedicated products in Sears for god's sake (same receivers,
different product numbers). Sears only gets a couple of items
themselves.

Thanks for the information and corrections.

Stansbury was a photo/hi-fi chain in Baltimore. We sold "good" audio
equipment -- Crown, Infinity, Bose (sorry about that), Shure, AR, KLH, etc.
There was no place in our store for the sort of junk the rep offered. He had
obviously not done his homework.
