Who is the WORST Audio Shop?

There seems to have been quite a bit written over the past several years regarding the myriad of reasons one can attribute to the demise of the brick and mortar audio shop. Rarely have I read however one of the most obvious reasons, which based on my experience, has got to be the simple fact that for the most part, they just didn't offer a high end listening experience. That, along with an elitist and careless attitude towards customer service, buried them as much as anything else. So here's my question. Who is the WORST audio shop/dealer you've ever encountered?

"As above regarding all dealers/retailers in the greater NYC area, no surprise there. New Yorkers are well documented as being "rude" all around.
Only suckers would patron those establishments."


What an asinine and uninformed statement.

What an asinine and uninformed statement.

That may be true, but after living nearly 20 years in NYC I deeply concur to it.

I don't know how he is as a dealer, but NYC's Wes Bender sure has a great product line-up.

John Routan is a class act. I was there last year or so. We were listening to some stuff and I realized my meter was running out. I was going to go out to throw another coin in the meter. John told me not to go- he said I probably won't get a ticket and if he did he would pay it. Didn't get a ticket.
