As its moniker implies, this shop doesn't mess around with run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter systems. Whether you want a home theater that rivals Imax or a 5.1-channel surround-sound setup, the staff—a charming gaggle of AV geeks who apparently memorize each issue of Stereophile—will help you find the best-quality system. Aesthetics are also a consideration here: Avalon speakers come in a range of veneers, and if you desire installation services, the staff will happily work with your architect. Vinyl fetishists out there should ask for Jim, Goodwin's in-house turntable expert.
