Audio shops in Boston


I'm going to Boston this weekend and would like to visit some audio shops ( what else). Could you please steer me in the right direction?

Check out Audio Studio at 414 Harvard Avenue in Brookline, just outside of downtown Boston. Owned and operated by Mikhael Shabani, who also owns and designs Morel speakers.
Thanks everybody.
Isn't Goodwin's the main historic attraction in Boston?
Jaybo, are you saying Boston does have history?
the most unique thing about boston is that the entire population is addicted to dunkin' donuts. i swear i've never seen so many in my life. its pretty creepy. 'are you eating it, or is it eating you?'-larry cohen
Depends what you like...Ralph Spear at Goodwins and his staff are real approachable and sell bottom end to top end esoteric gear..on Comm Ave on the BU Campus....Goodwin's High End on Main Street in Waltham has great listening rooms but you need to call ahead...Fidelis is way up there in NH and Walter is geared to home theater to survive. I've bought gear from all three shops.
Boston is a music city, if you like jazz, try Scullers or the Regatta Bar in Harvard Square....many other venues for just about anything.Have fun
The strangest thing about Boston is watching a sales person at one of the smaller audio shops stand next to some $12K pair of speakers and say that their shop is NOT really a high-end audio shop.

The biggest shop in-town is Speartsound (solid state mostly) I think they're the biggest Krell dealer. They have rows of B&W, Dali, Theil speakers lined up all around the the walls.

Goodwin's Audio (uh, is that what $125K wilson speakers look like!) you may have to wait to get into one of their listening rooms. Make an appointment.

I'd check ahead for acts playing at Scullers or Regatta Bar in that order.
