Grossly unfair post . . .

I have been going to Spearit Sound since 1998, after Alan Goodwin had left but when it was still called Goodwins Audio. I have bought speakers, a CD player, preamps, power amps and surround sound processors there, plus cables and accessories. I like it.

I have also shopped at Goodwin's High End. I just bought a VPI Scout with Benz Ace cartridge there, and was very happy with the service and, in particular, Jim Fuller's instalation. I like it too.

I also have bought stuff from Mikhael Shabani at the Audio Studio in Brookline, including his Prelude speakers - also a good guy and a neat place.

Spearit Sound can be a bit edgy at times. Some of the sales personnel aren't all that great. A few of them are aloof, though not all of them by any sense, a few aren't too knowledgeable, but most are, and they are all spacey enough that they won't always return phone calls, but overall it's an honest place, with a good selection of mid-end to high-end stuff sold at a 10% to 20% discount, with decent specials and a fair amount of used stuff too. Ralph is fair. Leland and Steve are super good guys. (I'm disabled and they have ALWAYS delivered and installed the stuff I bought at no extra charge).

If you want to say you had a bad experience, then that's fine. It's helpful to know, but to brand that store as the most snobby in Boston on a public forum based on a couple of bad visits isn't cool.

I'm glad that a number of other folks have posted likewise below.
