Goodwin's High End in Waltham Ma. 10 miles west of Boston. They rep some of the finest equipment available and always provide superior sounding systems.
my best to all, Jerry

@bobvin I swear I've seen that space on Miller Carbon's website ... no? I thought it was 'photoshopped' ... Beautiful space! |
Agree with @oddiofyl, Fidelis Music Systems in Nashua, New Hampshire is a great place to experience gear. And Marc is an knowledgeable and welcoming host. Highly recommended. |
That Nashua, NH area has some of the finest audio shops on the EC. Fidelis, (drool) and AVT have some impressive gear and are really nice peeps but, if you have the chance, you should try and visit Holt Hill Audio. They have an amazing loft in an old Mill building with high cielings, 10' windows and even a pull great elevator to get you up there. Maybe not the greatest space to critical listen though with big rooms that are highly treated, which is good, but there's a lot of outside noise and parking is tricky. However, once you get to them, boy, its some place. The owners are cool and highly knowledgeable with interesting backgrounds. The vintage speaker restoration work they do and the super clean & exotic electronics are reason enough to drop in. Seems like I mention these guys a bit but I really enjoy what they do. Just my opinion. |
I have a slightly different take. ”The Listening Room” in Chestertown MD is an old school record shop and HiFi dealer. The room that I auditioned speakers was not a sparse, conditioned room. However I had the best time there because you could listen in nearfield (or close to it). Michael (the one man shop dealer) would bring in different speakers, place them out in the room and we could adjust position and seating. He sat with me for 2-3 hours! Listening to different amp/ speakers combinations. He carries many brands (had like 8 rooms at recent capital audio fest), but it was the personal attention, no pressure method that was awesome. I ended up buying a pair of Magnepan 0.7s on the spot. They actually serve most of the east coast.
if you are around DC, Baltimore or Philly, it’s worth a trip to this quaint college town and a hidden audio gem. (I am not affiliated with them, just love what they do) |
