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?

Years ago, there was a shop on the Upper East Side in NYC that wanted a $50 deposit to audition equipment!
Polk432 While I've never purchased anything from avsouth in Tampa I am familiar with the store, curious to hear what your experience was. Thanks
with many of the "hi-end" oriented stores, visit them during the day, during the week, and frame your reason for being at the store, diplomatically. you will probably have no problems.

i have been to lyric, singer and innovative and haven't had any problems.
