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?

Excellent story- ejr1953


I am very surprised about your experience at JS Audio.  As luck has it, there are plenty of Audio operations in that area DC/MDVA.


Keep posting All-

As a member of the DC HiFi Group we have our meetings at many of the local dealers in the greater DC area but JS Audio won't give us the time of day.

I remember Joe when he ran his business out of a condo, and he was a pretty nice and straightforward. Years later, I went into his new, and of course larger storefront, and he wasn't there at the time. There was another gent there and it was a different , and chillier experience. Joe was an early dealer of Sonus Faber, and I remember that he loaned me a pair of monitors to try out for a week.
