Best Audio Store in Washington D C ?

Late comer to this thread, and I know these both have been mentioned, but just wanted to reiterate my very positive experiences with both Gifted Listener and Deja-Vu. Couldn't ask for a better contrast in system philosophies, both are warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. In disclosure I have purchased from Gifted Listener but not Deja-Vu, otherwise I have no vested interest - just enjoy quality when I find time to sneak out for an afternoon!

At both Gifted Listener and Deja Vu one will get a great experience--interesting demonstrations, no sales pressure or intimidation. I would add to that list Command AV. Even though visiting Command AV is by appointment only, it is a completely relaxed and fun experience.

I can't say which is the best but I can echo what Larryi says. Also, Gifted Listener was very patient with me when I was looking for speakers - good owner/operator.

Anyone remember Excaliber?

I used to visit Excaliber way back when they had the Infinity Reference Standard and the first Martin Logans. Was it a bad omen when they shut down or what?
