They had Sennheisers, Stax, Grado. They even had one of the rare, really expensive Sennheisers, not sure if it was the Orpheus or not. They have let me demo quite a few things. They have an unbelievable in-store inventory of high end stuff.

And not a single decent amp to drive anything with.
Last time I was there, Stereoland in Uptown (& Eden Prairie) had several Grados to audition, and the owner there (I forget his name just at this moment) is a nice guy.
I was just at the Ultimate Electronics in Mpls./Minnetonka off of Ridgedale Rd. & Hwy. 394. They no longer have any of the higher end Sennheisers. It's not that they ever had the 580/600 or 650s, but they had the 280s. In sum, their selection is NOT worth making the trip for.
The Needle Doctor (in Dinkytown - on the U of M campus) had several Grados and I think the Senn 650s the last time I was there.
Wow, thanks for the leads. Audio Perfection is great--I have been visiting them since 1978 (when it was run out of the owner's basement). I have not been back to look at headphones, however. Somewhere along the line I lost interest in home stereo and picked up interest in portable. Thanks to Head-Fi!! (Sorry for MY wallet)
PS: Home stereo in great shape and for sale in MPLS/ST Paul area only--don't want to ship with the price of tubes these days . . .
