    Washington DC area hifi shops

    Hey-
    Just wondering if there are many hifi shops around the DC area that have a large selection of gear - both new & used. Im 2 hours away (Richmond VA) and might head up one weekend. There arent many stores here so im looking for a store with a large selection & polite staff....

      Richmond isn't that bad if you stay away from one dealer. I found my new speakers (Von Schweikerts) in Richmond even though I looked in other places (Norfolk area, for one).

        jclyle,

        Check out Gifted Listener Audio in Centreville, VA (just off I66). They have a great selection of new and used gear. They know what they are doing.

            I got my Rotels at Myer-Emco, Bailey's Crossroads in VA. They have around 8 shops, I believe all over DC area. Got mine with a small discount as well. They also sell B&W speakers as well.

                They have probably the best selection of DynAudio speakers within 500 miles of the area. Plus, they purchased lots of models from the previous year, so some sweet discounts are available on new DynAudio speakers - if you don't mind last year's model. Plus, they have some used gear that they do take on trade. Some Bryston gear in the store and Meridan that I saw (and heard) the last time I was there.

                Out of all the local shops, JS Audio has got to be about the cleanest and most organized shop I've been in. Certainly, no Best Buy flunkies are running the show in this shop.
