Someone had mentioned Christopher Hansen on a thread I read the other day

Maybe more like a West Coast Sound by Singer.

Dweller, the Hanson in Dayton, OH is spelled differently.  As for Christopher Hansen, I did as geoffkait suggested, did a Google search and without digging too deep appears he is doing high end home theater installs for the rich and famous, i.e., those who overpay.  Apparently Taters didn't even do that much, otherwise he should have updated his own post if he did....

Taters, I have never been to Sound By Singer, though I have seen Andy strutting around CES (if you've seen him, you know what I mean ;-), but went to Lyric in '83 when I lived in Flushing, Queens. I was already an ARC/Magneplanar owner, and was interested in seeing if Lyric had anything I might like even more. You know---whatta ya got? The guy at the door as much as asked me what I was there to buy. No browsing, purchases only! Hey, I understand a low tolerance for lookiloos and tire kickers, but if they don't feel obligated to demo any products, how do they justify making their forty points? Christopher Hansen Ltd. was the same kind of operation.

BDP,

I remember going in Christopher Hansen's and the first thing out of the salesman's mouth was are you buying today. He never asked me what kind of equipment I had or what type of room I had. 

Being in sales most of my life I learned it was Important to try to find out what the customers needs were and work towards that goal.
