you may check out Sound Images - they have stores in Falls Church and Bethesda (I think). I've only been in the Falls Church store briefly so I can't vouch for the products or practices . . . but I think they carry high end stuff.
I've been to Soundworks multiple times in the past and had pretty good experience, but haven't been there in about a year and a half. I noticed a few times that it's hard to get someone's attention, but once I did they set me up with the gear I was interested in and left me alone to listen.
