Audio Store in Twin Cities?

Incidentally, I can't say I have had the same negative experience Maplegrove had with HiFi Sound -- they have always been very friendly when I have visited, and the brands I have listened to there include VTL, Electrocompaniet, Nottingham, and Dynaudio. They also often have some interesting used and consignment equipment on display.

I haven't ever been to Audio Perfection, but I hear it is a very nice store.

Any Audio Research dealers?
After all, this is their backyard.

Audio Reseach is sold at Audio Perfection . Along with Magnepan, Atmasphere and Belcanto . All made in MN !

Thanks guys, a big help !

Boy, I have not had the experience that Maplegrovemusic has had at HiFi sound. Their staff has always been very helpful, very knowledgeable, very accomodating and patient. I had a very good experience there. They also have a very large collection of used vinyl that I plunder every now and then.
