traveling need audio stores in NYC to audition

If you're willing to drive an hour or take a train north to Mt. Kisco, NY, you can visit Frank Huang and Mike at Audio Outlet and hear at least two of your pieces--Hovland and Audio Research. Plus they are great guys w/some other great stuff to look at and listen to. Whenever I'm in Manhattan I make a point of going to Mt. Kisco. It's near Chappaqua, so maybe you can also see Hill and Bill.
