This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.

When time permits, I'm planning on a road trip from several states away to visit Johnny Ruttan's Audio Connection.  This based on his always helpful and constructive posts here, and a subsequent telephone conversation.  My route will include a wide berth around Audio Doctor, for reasons that I'm sure you can infer.

@audiotroy I've experienced more than my share of overbearing, overly pushy, opinionated, hard sell hi-fi salespeople in the course of several decades of this hobby--our little world seems to abound in them, and I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to experience any more.  My comment was intended in the same spirit as a few others here, that is, that there are different ways a dealer can post on here, and some will be productive and others counter-productive.  In making decisions as to whom to visit and forming opinions as to what to audition one goes on the basis of available data.  Auditioning new equipment in a dealer showroom (even if it is a private house) is never really what I would call a relaxing experience, and one doesn't need the salesperson tipping the scales further, whether it be just by hovering or something worse.

Manufacturer's thread and lots of discussion of Odyssey amps over on A. Circle.
