Innovative’s showrooms are filled with ultra-high-end components from Dynaudio, B&W, Thiel, and Rotel. (A Linn CD player goes for $20,000.) Innovative is the only New York dealer for Wilson and Naim. It can put together a stereo system for $500, but the focus is on luxury, like the 110-inch $250,000 home theater, which it has replicated for a dozen clients. If you want ta team of architects to help install your new system, Innovative’s got them.
