I will be driving to San Diego then to LA and would like to audition speakers. What dealers do you know of in the area, and if you know, what brands do they carry?
Thanks very much,
Jim

Wow!
There are so many speaker manufacturers I always wonder "who the heck is selling all those speakers?" and now I know. About every brand I can think of seems to be in the area. Unfortunately I'd have to live here to properly audition all these but that gives me lots to work on while I am here.
hifitommy I don't know how you put that list together but when I googled all kinds of combinations I came up with very little.
Thanks so much!

Upscale Audio in Upland , I think it's by appointment.
hifitommy, do you know of a ProAc dealer in the San Diego or LA area? This is the one I need the most. Story later.
Thanks
Jim
Check out SimpliFi audio in San Diego, Gradient, Dspeaker, DNM, Bladelius, and Klangwork.
Tim Ryan is a good guy and his rooms have been receiving great reviews at the last few audio shows. The Gradient Revolution is one that I would love to hear, but was unable to make the NY show due to illness. Dspeaker has just released the new Antimode Dual Core 2.0. Its a dac, preamp, and room correction up to 500hz all for around $1200.00. Tim is very excited about this product, and had a hand in it's development. He has also worked with Gradient in developing a Dipole bass system where you don't need room treatments to correct for the bass. It works well with all speakers by cutting bass fron 200hz - 20hz. All frequencies from 200hz on up go to the main speaker and every thing else is sent to the woofer system. He had great reviews of the Dipole Bass system at the NY, Montreal and Newport shows.
Have Fun

Stereo Unlimited is "bricks and mortar" and carries Sonus Faber and Vandersteen among others. Good guys. Highly recommended.
Audio Revelation is "appointment only" and carries Magico, Vivid, Lawrence among others. Have traded emails and spoken to Jay once.
Plan to audition speakers at both of these places myself soon.
