LOL, I just posted to the poor guys last response before I read this. You should see what I suggested. Seriously though I offered to go and give the guy a hand, the store he went to are con artists, they have specially calibrated demo rooms and run all their speakers off of Harman 7300's or the like. They have a reputation of using different components in their speakers for the show room and the end products that they sell if you know what I'm sayin. These guys are crooks that used to be a big chain, now they are loosing shops everywhere.
