| NYC audio dealers Most of the NYC shops will want to have a buyer, not a looker. Especially one with two S's.I suggest getting either a rental car or an Uber, and go to AudioConnection in Verona, NJ.John Rutan will treat you well. And, you will probably learn a lot... | |

Which is why I lean toward having an amp ... | |

They are some of the best sounding equipment out there, have great reliability and superb customer service.I bought my equipment only knowing that they worked well with my ... | |
