Best hi-fi salon 'round

Alright! Let's hear it.

A lot of you's guys do some traveling.
If you're anything like me you'll look up the local hi-end shops where ever you are, pay a visit, and experience the presentation of product lines not available for audition in your area. In addition, you'll extract as much knowledge out of the sales guys as possible, and even test them a bit. Secretly reveling in your nonchalant "stumping" of supposed "masters of the trade."

In your experience:

What's the best you've heard?
Who's had the most impressive auditionioning rooms?
Where can you find the most knowledgable associates?

In short: What is the Best hi-fi salon 'round?

P.S. I sure like Steve and his "heard" at the Hi-Fi Farm in Virginia.

Hawthorne Stereo in Seattle has a nice set up. The store isn't fancy, but you can get a demo with only one set of speakers in the room. This eliminates the problem of other speakers resonating with the pair being demoed. They also have a great used section.

The store is on a block that has five Hi-Fi stores and a great used record store. Check em out if you're in Seattle.
