Found four or five in the Silver Spring area. I looked at the highest rated one, read "uncompromising commitment to somethingorther sound", and wrote that one off, figuring they were interested in selling me a $1000 sound system, subwoofers, just the thing to entertain everyone at the traffic light for a block around. Then I looked at the second rated one, DSP. They seemed reasonable. I called, and talked to the guy... and the ballpark he quoted me was reasonable. Made an appt for this past Sat. He did *not* try to sell me the $600 or $800 one. He *listened* to what I wanted, and offered me one for $100. I mentioned maybe sticking in a USB key and just playing what was on it, and we went up Big Bucks... to $110. Of course, installation, and the surround to replace the huge thing that was in the dash more than doubled it, but I was expecting that. And it's what I wanted (well, the controls are complicated, but....) I'm so old, when I was a kid, and even some as a young man, I used to see signs in stores that read, "the customer is always right", and that was a message to the clerks from mgmt. I was pleased, and would recommend them. mark
