Where to see Audio in Manhattan

I went to NYC about a month and a half ago and went into a few stores. I was not impressed with Stereo Exchange (I'm 95% sure I have that remembered correctly- lots of B&W and McIntosh). Nobody acknowledged me during the 10 minutes that I was in there. Not a receptionist. Not a salesperson. Nobody. Also, I went to In Living Stereo. I had been in there previously with great luck. But, this past visit to them was mediocre. As soon as I told him that I was from out of town, his attitude changed towards me. His eyes were on me like a hawk. I don't mind that he wanted to watch an out-of-towner while looking at expensive stuff, but he could have at least spoken to me and made me feel welcome. They have some really neat stuff that I hadn't seen elsewhere, so it may still be worth a brief visit. I also went to Sound By Singer. This visit went well. I don't think they like people just looking and one may get brushed off (it happened to me on another trip there)if that's what they say they're doing. Your luck may vary. Have fun!!!
