- Rochester has a number of resources for Home Theater and Audiophiles. It is uncertain how it has got that way (Eastman School influence?), but compared to many cities of similar size, Rochester is blessed with four audiophile shops, where most moderate sized cities would be fortunate to have just one. Audiophile equipment is expensive, but fans believe it is worth the expense. Quality sound reproduction has to be heard to be believed.	+ Rochester has a number of resources for Home Theater and Audiophiles.

If the shop is busy, you can always schedule an appointment when it is less busy - since the nature of this process is very customer service intensive, they may not be able to give you as good a service without an appointment sometimes (though most of these shops will try). + + If you are on a budget, be up front about it with the people at the shop (if you don't feel comfortable with a number, you can give a range or a "no more than $X"), as most of these places (unlike mass market) build their businesses on long term repeat business, and a shop that did poor service routinely would quickly be out of business.
