Audio Store in Twin Cities?

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.

Thanks guys, a big help !

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

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

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.

Oh, and while you're at it, don't forget Jerry Raskin's Needledoctor, in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, outside of Minneapolis. They always have some great stuff on display.

The best 2-3 ? How about the only 2 . Hifisound located downtown mpls. Poor salesmen . Very uppity . Carry 2-3 brands sold elsewhere. Audio Perfection in Bloomington . Nice assortment of products . Ok salesmen . And last but least Stereoland in Bloomington .
Howewver a new store in uptown is said to open in mid March .

Definitely on the list:

HiFi Sound
825 Glenwood Ave Minneapolis, MN 55405
(612) 339-6351

An excellent store with a nice range of brands and equipment, and also an excellent selection of used vinyl for sale. Well worth a trip.
