Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
Audio doctor in Jersey City, most interesting dealer I ever visited in the three state area, thanks to Dave Lalin advice and guidance I walked miles on faster speed in this hobby, will be rare that you can find any dealer with as many brands, gear... 
Looking for a very good integrated solid state amp
Hegel H200!Finest, low noise, excellent dynamics closest to class A I had experience on A/B amp.
