Audio stores in Washington DC???


Hello
I am heading to Washington DC for the week and was wondering if there are any DC folks that could guide me to the cool high-end audio stores there. A street address, if you are local, would be great too. Thanks in advance!

Nice, professional, interact with Bethesda/Chevy Chase clients -- fairly expensive lower end and up

Soundworks
10526 Connecticut Ave,
Kensington, MD
301-929-8600
Wide range of products and many listening rooms, loose in their client care and demonstrating equipment (bordering on dis-organized), it's more of a hands-off approach, there are customer complaints on the web and there's no website

Never visited, only has 3 lines of speakers, they feature VMPS speakers which use ribbons (I would like to hear these), also have Von Schweikert which is very, very well known and respected brand of speaker.

They carry high-end stuff and some affordable stuff. Crazy website, but it looks like they've been doing it for some time. Not clear about their relationship to the Audio Visual Solutions home theater folks in same location - different suite.
