Wondering if anyone could point me towards some good hifi shops in PA or Western NJ. Right now I am near New Hope, Pa about 30 miles north of downtown Philly. I will most likely be in this area for the majority of Monday. I will be in the Pitssburgh area on Tuesday.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Not often I get into a really nice shop. Just one more reason why Iowa sucks!

Thanks

    If I remember correctly, I think Sid went to a really high-end audio store in NY and listened to a bunch of Wilson stuff, but I can't remember the name of the store. Have fun looking at the really nice stuff! Just try not to leave any drool stains on the stuff!

    :p

    audio-video synergy in p'burg, N.J. From New Hope take Rt.32 to RT.611 north into Easton, Pa. Then Rt. 22 east over the bridge into P'burg. It will be on the right. A little over a one hour drive from New Hope. Hope this helps.

    Thanks much Mantis! You live near this area? Anyway, can you tell me if either of these have a website, or maybe give me an idea of the brands they carry.

    Also I was planning on stopping by Quest for Sound in Bensalem. Are you familiar with this shop? Is it worth the stop?

    Thanks Again Guys!

    Audio Video Synergy

    Very friendly staff. Got a great deal on my Hitachi RPTV there. :D

    FYI, they are in the same strip mall as Blockbuster Video on Route 22 East. Also, web site does not list the store hours.
    Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support
    group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.

    Thanks for all the recommendations guys!

    I made it to a couple and ended up purchasing an integrated tube amp and had it shipped home. :D I'll be sure to post a full review as soon as possible.

    Thanks Again!
