Who is the WORST Audio Shop?

There's a Lyric shop in White Plains, NY too - same owners as the one in Manhattan.  The salesmen there are morons - I'm considerably more knowledgeable about the equipment they sell than they are.  
For a very good shop:  Take 5 Audio in New Haven, CT. 

Paragon in Ann Arbor, Michigan absolutely sucks.  Very full of themselves.  You are to buy what they say becuase they know more than you and this is what they say works.  Never mind you enjoy the thrill of learning, listening, growing with your hobby, etc.  Owner Larry, a liar.  Salesperson Tom, pure arrogant, snob, schmuck.  Salesperson Ron... babbling bullwinkle.  Salesperson Matt, does what he is told with his tsil between his legs.  Losers.

Still on Paragon.  Their pricing... some of the worst in my ecperience.  Big inability to answer questions.  Seem to enjoy trying to explain things in ways designed to get you to quit asking questions, stop making them demo ANYTHING for you, shut up and start buying something.  Get in, buy, get out.  Phoney.  Want great service?  Go to Paulson's, in Farmington I think it is, and ask for Strat.

Another NY resident here. Luckily no experiences with Lyric, but Singer. Oh boy...i asked him about a Red Wine Audio amp he had and if i could come in an demo it: "at this price, it's a steal. you don't need to demo" and more or less hung up on me shortly afterwards.

Stereo Exchange is a mixed bag. Really sales person dependent. Had a great time talking to one of the fellows (few years back) over there re some headphone gear. However, a different guy once bitched me out for calling B&W 805s "bookshelves". "These are stand mounts. There are a lot of differences between standmounts and bookshelves". This is after he asked me my upstream gear and so, should have had an idea that I wasn't a casual enthusiast!

There are not a lot of shops here in Dallas like there used to be. Go in there. They cut alll the big equipment off and if you go in there more than once they walk away and hope you leave quickly.
