Dealers with excellent listening rooms?

Agree on Fidelis in Nashua NH also the Audio Connection in Verona NJ has some nice space and equipment. Both have great staff willing to help.

HiFi Sound on the edge of downtown Minneapolis has a sweet listening room. Stacked with Sonus Faber, Stenheim, Mac, lots of tasties. Slab concrete floor, treated, etc.

HiFi Buys- Atlanta GA

Gestalt Audio- Nashville TN

Soundscape - Baltimore MD

Happy Listening!

Personally I think this is most critical for loudspeakers — but applies across the board unless the demo rig matches your own to a T. 

Such a coincidence is not likely to be the case for many. And how many audio shops offer home auditions? Not many, I’d guess. 

couldn't agree more with b2colchagoff!!...bought a pair of Magnepan 1.7x from Mike....i live in the adjacent county..,,., but he's worth the drive from anywhere...countryside and ride are outstanding....and if you want an "old school" hi fi experience that's exactly what he is!....took me back to the old days when it wasn't all about money and the latest and greatest....yes, a true hidden gem just like on phantom gourmet for audio...sorry, opinions vary, but mine is that listening to anything anywhere outside of your room and system is irrelevant....thing is if it doesn't work out for you Mike will understand, not prejudge you and work with you to find what is right, and he has some excellent manufacturer's to choose from, and you can always rest assured that he will work with you until your happy, ,,, and he'll deliver and setup and stay as long as you need to get it right....um, not many old school hifi folks like that left these days it seems.....hope Mike and the few left out there like him continue to prosper and not leave us...
