Hi Fi Dealers in NYC - where to find them?

Here's a phenomenon I want to share with you. I'm not far from NY City but had a hard time finding decent hifi dealers where I can audition different gears (speakers, pre, power amp, turntable, etc) for buying in the future.

I know hifi dealer is becoming a rarity even in big cities like NYC. The two dealers in NYC I visited were snobbish, pushy and money-oriented. They were not willing to demo equipment that a customer is not buying on spot. I admit I'm not nearly as knowledgable as them. But a potential buyer needs to be educated by ways of auditioning.

Maybe they already have plenty of business. Aren't they loosing potential buyers because of the way they treat customers?

Anyhow, do you know any decent and friendly dealers in NYC, NJ and CT?

Thanks in advance.

"I thought they carry Dynaudio line which I was interested in auditioning. However, it seems they're phasing it out with only 2 models available - Contour s1.4 and another floor stand model."

R0817, I was recently at In Living Stereo. They carry the Dynaudio line, and had at least two models in their larger room. Perhaps they had other Dynaudio models in their other listening room.
