Jonny - keep auditioning speakers and checking out different dealers. I suspect that there are more dealers in your area carry Paradigm and other speakers. Energy and PSB are Canadian manufacturers that make very good speakers too.
I've had mixed dealings with dealers myself. Over the past month I've been auditioning speakers to go upgrade my two channel system. At one dealer I was basically ignored and at another one I got great service. The sales person let me listen to many different speakers, didn't rush me, and answered my questions truthfully even though he knew I wasn't going to purchase speakers that day. Funny thing was at one dealer I was dealing with two different people. One was good and the other was trying to lecture me at the same time. It really is a mixed bag.
Unfortunately, I've had the same experience with ID brands. One was outstanding and the other has been disappointing.
I recommend listening to speakers before you buy and spending time communicating with the dealer to get a feel for the service you'll get.
