Best audio shops in the Chicago area?

Glenn Poor's in Champaign has some very nice components! Well worth looking into. Also, not sure if they're still around, but Red Rose (I think it's the more affordable Levinson line) was good as well. Not as big selection, but some very aesthetically pleasing items.
Milwuakee, only 1.5 hours away, has Ultra Fidelis, which carries some brands (Vandersteen, Rogue, ProAc) which I didn't see in Chicago; the Vandersteen 5's are worth a look. (doesn't mean they're not there, I just didn't see them).

There is a Glenn Poor's in Chicago on Grand as well. I Second Music Direct. You can listen to gear there as well as check out music and accessories.

Thank you all! All of these suggestions are candidates, as I will be driving in from the west (Minneapolis) and can visit the Naperville / Woodridge area on my way to downtown. Glenn Poor's?...I actually lived accross the street from their store in Urbana when I was a student at the U of I in the 70's. The Milwaukee store is also game as I head north to Green Bay after leaving Chicago. Again, can't tell how much I appreciate your input. Think Spring! - Steve
