Best HIFI Stores LA/Orange


Trying to find the best of the best Hi-Fi stores in Los Angeles and Orange County CA.  Getting to the end of my HiFi journey and really need to update my speakers.  Looking for extremely high efficiency drivers at 8 ohms for my 300b amplifier.  Willing to spend $$$$.  I’ve been to Common Wave-excellent store and help from the owner Wes.  Have listen to Devore and Acora.  But I can’t find any other stores that present really high end speakers.  So would appreciate your recommendations.

Brooks Berdan is closed or moved to Seattle area.

No B&M retailer can give you a big selection of high end speakers. Go to an audio show to narrow it down. Then visit.

I recommend having a listen my speakers at Shelleys in Woodland Hills. It is the Yamaha NS5000. I have gone to most of the stores in Los Angeles area, and they are very high end. Great audio stores.

Destination HiFi to listen to some CODA amps and or Legacy speakers.

Pick up the current issue of Stereophile Magazine where they review the Moab Be ($30K/pr) and decide for yourself.

 

BTW, their speakers are offered in the same color as my ’64 Corvette, Ferrari, grigio titanio.

Ah so -- Brooks Berdan is in the process of relocating to the Seattle area.  However, it seems there may still be some sales activity at the old Monrovia location.

Their phone message indicates the store is open on Saturdays 11am - 5pm and they take appointments Tuesdays through Fridays.  (Closed Sundays and Mondays)

I'm not sure what is left there, though.

Here's their number -- 626 359 9131

+1 Audio Element, Carlsbad or Pasadena, very knowledgeable, lots of turntables and cartridges and great setup.

+1 Shelley's Woodland Hills

+1 Upscale (Call ahead, definitely)
