Burt is a storehouse of knowledge about sound and sound systems. His one-person store has been there for many years (30 or so I think); I've shopped there about 3-4 times in the past 2 years, and always received personalized, excellent service. Prices may not be as low as in a big box store (but no independent store's prices can be), but you will never go wrong with his knowledgable advice. Last time I went in with a defective car stereo faceplate that would have cost $40 to replace ($10 or so used on Ebay). He unscrewed it, clened it, and it's worked fine. No charge for his time.
Pros: advice, selection, service
Cons: sometimes a long wait (one person place)!
