High End Audio/Video Stores? (Raleigh, Cary: buy, design, budget)

[nc_newbies]

Hi All- this is my first post

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me where there are some higher end audio/video stores- something maybe a step above a Best Buy, for example?

Thank you!

Definitely what I was looking for- thank you. Any other places closer to Cary that you know of? (Probably should have mentioned the location).

Thank you!

Audio Exchange on Hillsborough St in Raleigh. Not too far from Cary and the owner is extremely knowledgeable and can work w/most budgets.

Audio Advice is a good one.

There's also Intelligent Electronics, which carries different brands than AA.

audio advice is who we frequently use.

If you really want something that is very high end in speakers, check out Selah. These are custom built speakers and considered to be very high end in the audiophile world. He is also local (Garner).

Cary Audio is a decent-sized manufacturer that offers their products through audio stores and some web stores, and Selah Audio (at least last I checked) is web-direct sales. Though, both are in the general area, so may be willing to accommodate a visit if you ask.
