Stereo Exchange is just as bad as Lyric. I haven't been there in a while, but there was a store near the 59th street bridge that didn't seem too bad. I forget the name. In Living Stereo is good, but small. The best place to go is Audio Connection. If you are in the city, its probably an easier trip than if you were to go some place in Brooklyn or Queens. I've been to a lot of audio stores and that one is the best.
