where to buy in New York City

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Does anyone know of a good place in NYC to try/buy microhones ? . I
tried calling Sam Ash but I hate being bounced around and put on hold

I saw "Crown Cm 700 match pair for $500" at Sweetwater site also Shure
KSM137/sl Stereo pair mic or $600 also at Swetwaters _but_ I would like to
try some microphones out and buy from the *locals

This microphone would be for classical guitar , recording most the time in
a shoe box space. Any other suggestions for Microphone pair's under
$600.00 ?

Looking for monitors for $500 or under . I was looking here
http://www.sweetwater.com/studio_m [...] nitors.php but
again I rather look in my town

Thank you.

For monitors I'd look online for a pair of Tannoy Active Reveals, I have
seen them for less than $600 a pair being blown put. Mics, in NYC B&H Photo
has a room to try out mics, and Dale Audio has some selection as well although
I havent gone over there in a while. Used, I usually check out the suburban
GC's etc., occasionally they will have some good mics taken in on trade and
just want to turn them around quickly so they're priced to move.

Under $600 a pair mics? Well... I'd say save up till you have about
$850/900 and buy a couple used Neumann KM184's on ebay, or a new matched pair
of Oktava MC012's from www.oktava.com with a cedar box, -10 pads and 3 pairs of
capsules (omni, cardiod and hypercardiod) are $659, and are pretty decent mics
for the money. (I like the CM700's ok, but I think the Oktavas more useful
and more interesting sounding.)

That's the way it goes when dealing with a large music store. I've
heard good reports about Dale, and B&H has a nice looking showroom in
their ads.

yep that was pretty dumb of me to ask, I must say. I was think of " Shure's
KSM141 stereo pair" that I saw on sweetwater before asking the "no
brainer" . .
