Dave Lane's Stereo Shop


In the '80s, the Stereo Shop in Greece was a real thorn in my side! Part of Stereo Advantage, based in Buffalo, thay offered Klipsch speakers there but not here.The trans ship franchise rule was in effect, but they would tell people to listen to the speakers at JB, and they would get them cheaper if you wanted them. Klipsch would not enforce this because of the amount of business they gave them. Basically part of a large buying group, they did indeed have a "Stereo Advantage".

 Fast forward almost thirty years later, Dave Lane has seperated himself from the group. The enthusiast audiophile of the group, Dave has always been able to seperate business from pleasure. My friend Bob Hamme was a partner up until about 10 years ago. I have done a lot of horse trading with Bob over the years, and we still "chew the fat" from time to time.

 This Henrietta location is unique from the other Stereo Shop locations in that it offers amongst other things Kef (including the Reference series),Martin Logan, Marantz ,NAD, Velodyne, Definitive Technologies, PSB, Denon, Polk, and Onkyo. They recently picked up Rega, god bless them.

  Location,location, location, and they are in college town.

  Bought a couple of TVs from them,like to see local business do well.
