Anyone in New York with Grand Veenas?

Ptm what moved you to include an ugly slur in your reply? Just curious .

Hi everyone who responded. It's funny, I posted this and I've been so busy I forgot all about it, my friend read it before I did. Anyway, I did speak at length with Tash, he was great and very helpful. I know I could try them out at home but as has been discussed I wouldn't want to deal with the return shipping if I happened to not like them. Plus I'm very broke at this time and don't have the extra money to pay for return shipping. I could only buy these when I sell my Focals. I know Harry Pearson gave them a Golden Ear award (the queen comment made me laugh) and my friend who's opinion I trust fully highly recommended them, but no matter what I wouldn't buy a set of speakers without hearing them first. So, I'm still hoping someone nearby might have a pair. And I do agree it's odd that they don't have a dealer in or around NYC. I mean come on, it's New York, you can get pretty much anything you would ever want here. Except Grand Veenas I guess.
Anyway, thank you all for your responses and have a good Thanksgiving, Chris.

Yup, there are still old bigots who laugh at the "N" word. Just takes time for them to die off.

I suggest contacting The Cable Company. Many do not know they have a showroom in New Hope, PA, about an hour from NYC.

It was there I first heard the Reference 3A Grand Veenas, and fell in love with them. Of course, the reputation of The Cable Company checks out as high as any in the high-end audio business.

Hi Trejla, that's funny, I talked to someone at the Cable Company recently about something else. My wife is from PA. and we once visited New Hope and it's not that far from her parents. We will be there for two weeks at Christmas so hopefully I can get there in that time. The problem is my wife is not into the stereo thing-what wife is? But I will try and thank you very much for the tip.
Thanks, Chris.
