Who is the WORST Audio Shop?

Overture. Enough said.

Worst for what? Attitude? If so, two New York City shops excel at that, Lyric and Singer. I encourage all to visit those shops and check them out. Oh, you must bring your bank statements showing at least $1.5 million as a balance, otherwise they will not be able to sell you anything. It does help if you are also an investment banker or hedge fund director.

without a doubt, Landis audio in Chester, N.J.

AVSOUTH Tampa Fl.

Why not just celebrate the good shops?

An audio shop in cherry creek, Denver. refused to play my music on the dynaudio confidence, forced me to sit in front of focal 726s, which would have been ok if they had been powered by decent 2-channel gear, but no. The room was full of home theater receivers, Yamaha and marantz. This is really decent gear, but not what I was looking for, home theater vs 2-channel are two different beasts. Didn't help that their switch boards were not working, plus the creek destiny CD player I was popping my discs into wouldn't spin up. The yamaha blu ray player took my CDs just fine, but I still got to hear the salesman tell the owner that the CDs I brought in weren't audiophile quality, hence the read errors on the creek. Also found out from the owner that the creek was accepted by my salesman on a trade-in, it wasn't a new unit. That was the last time I walked into a dealer's shop, it was two years ago. I've bought many pieces of gear used and over the Internet since then, and I'm very happy with my system.
