Good HiFi stores in NY, Washington DC area


Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for good HiFi stores in NY, NJ, Philadelphia, Delaware, Maryland and DC metro area. I'm looking to buy good condition pair of used/demo Speakers (for Pass XA 30.5). I've shortlisted wide range of brands (coincident, silverline, Von Schweikert, clearwave, DeVore, Tannoy, Proac) etc. or any other suggestions please... My priority is to listen to...

Coincident (Super Eclipse, Super Victory)
Silverline (LaFolia, Sonata III)
VS (DB 99)
DeVore (9s, O/93)

I can travel out of my way for the above models. I plan to audition and buy speaker during my short USA trip in July 2016. Thanks

Thanks Guys for quick responses.. I have contacted some of the stores. Audioconnection, Verona seems to be a must go place. 

Larryi; 
I'm visiting USA and hoping to buy speakers after audition. The store seems to be obvious choice. I don't have an option to sell or return speakers once I buy and take it out of USA. So I may even move up to higher models, to avoid short term upgrade. And meanwhile if i see something similar up for sale on Audiogon, nothing like it !!

Thanks again friends. 

Jed; Which Clearwave model do you have and which amp you are using?

Bacheaudio looks interesting...
Thanks nsp. Wes Bender Studio is on my list. The list of the Speakers/Models I have mentioned are the ones I like, of course from the reviews i have read here on Audiogon. I have never personally heard any one of them. And during my short trip to USA, I might not get to listen to some of them as most of them are discontinued.

Your inputs will be a great value to me. My price range is 3000-4500 USD and I might be able to stretch a bit more if I am getting very good value. That's the reason I am looking at Demo/Used pair. Any suggestions are most welcomed.

Thanks.. My room dimensions are 12 Ft x 22 Ft , height part 7 Ft, Part 16 Ft, with natural stone flooring and Masonry walls. SO very live room conditions. (However Im planning some cloth curtains and room treatments for that. I have an old Cary Preamp (CAD 5500). But I have finalised a new preamp (Cary SLP 98 L) and digital player is Sony HAP Z1 ES. My interconnects are Morrow Audio MA 1.1 (RCA). I'll pass on this information to Wes Bender also. 

I'll also put Focals on my list. Some good reviews on them with Pass amps. Not the Utopia Diablo though, they are way out of my buget.

I just saw another current thread on Silverline Sonatina MK IV. A current silverline model and within my range. I tried to find some feedback on that on audiogon but there was'nt much written on this model. However, i'm very encouraged by the positive feedback from the Sonatina MK IV owner, laurendy3.
