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?

Paragon in Ann Arbor, Michigan absolutely sucks.  Very full of themselves.  You are to buy what they say becuase they know more than you and this is what they say works.  Never mind you enjoy the thrill of learning, listening, growing with your hobby, etc.  Owner Larry, a liar.  Salesperson Tom, pure arrogant, snob, schmuck.  Salesperson Ron... babbling bullwinkle.  Salesperson Matt, does what he is told with his tsil between his legs.  Losers.

Still on Paragon.  Their pricing... some of the worst in my ecperience.  Big inability to answer questions.  Seem to enjoy trying to explain things in ways designed to get you to quit asking questions, stop making them demo ANYTHING for you, shut up and start buying something.  Get in, buy, get out.  Phoney.  Want great service?  Go to Paulson's, in Farmington I think it is, and ask for Strat.
