Bought my first complete system from SE in 1989, and enjoyed their flagship store downtown for many years. They've always run a precise hi-end store that was as artful in sound design as it was in featuring a high quality sound-centered, audiophile lover's environment. They always have a solid array of excellent components. Their new showroom model at Union Square continues this tradition by providing individual listening sessions by appointment only, which I enjoyed very much recently. Their professional staff are all sound connoisseurs who are highly skilled in matching your musical tastes with the right hi-end gear.
