I have almost this entire next Saturday to run around Boston MA! Nothing much planned, I have been to Boston enough times to see all the historical sites, etc. Are there any good audio shops in Boston I should make sure I check out?

    That is where Goodwin Audio Used to be located. & it's perfectly safe, so long as you don't get run over by a trolley or the hordes of Boston University students!

    It's also the place where I got my Polk speakers & Rotel gear 15 yrs ago. :)

    There's a place called Q Audio in Cambridge as well. I've never been there but always meant to check it out.

    I never heard of Goodwins, I'll have to check that out some time, I'm in Waltham a lot.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
