If they are selling fakes, they are also selling one heck of a lot of the originals too. As in, I know a couple of companies that say that particular store on its own accounts for a few percent of their whole worldwide sales. That is - in and of itself - troubling, but not because of the possibility of EMG selling fakes, but just because it means the company is putting a surprisingly large amount of eggs in one basket.
You are right, I hadn't heard of this store. Which is why I put a question mark in the headline. There are lots of stores that I haven't heard of, because I haven't been everywhere yet. Sound & Colors in Paris is pretty impressive too. And there's supposed to be a shop in downtown Beijing that has something like 40 demonstration rooms.
Keep 'em coming. Tell us of the best of the best in audio salons. The really impressive, fantasy ones; the ones that make Bloomingdale's or Harrods look small and cheap.

And every piece of equipment they sell is genuine....
Absolutely no fakes and no counterfeits....
And you can vouch for this personally....
Right?
