Las Vegas

I am visiting Vegas in August for a wedding coming from Hawaii. I am looking to buy my new system while there. Can anyone recommend a couple (if there are) good high end audio shops.
Thx.

Joe,

I personally head down to Scottsdale AZ to buy my high end gear.

I have been to three high end shops in Vegas to look around, and have a listen.

premiere home entertainment

they are in a very big building. Lots of theater rooms cool to just go check out and have a tour of the different rooms and play some music. This one the significant other actually may enjoy going to.

Nice little shop with good people.

there was a third that I went to once but can't remember the name.

I haven't been to any of these shops in over 2 years so things may have dramatically changed.

You would think in a city built on excess, there would be more high end shop's in Vegas. I've lived here for 13 yrs and am disappointed with what we have here. Premier and Abbott's, if there still around are probably the closest to high end stuff we have in Vegas. You also might want to look at some of the online manufactures like Outlaw and Emotiva. You'll save a couple of hundred, which could be put towards speakers or cables.

Hey guys,

I have not been to Abbotts in a long time so I do not know what they have. As for Premiere, Kim and Jim are great to deal with. They are limited to only a few brands that they push. I think Image Sound and Control use to be named something else but, anyway they carry a completely different product so it is nice to see other items. There is another place down on Vallet View,Creative Home Theater and they are nice also. As with anything, I would do my homework before I really took any one's word on what to buy. If you are looking into prepro's, I would look into the Integra DTC 9.8/Onkyo pro Prsc885p exact same units except for the face and has gotten great reviews. Look up the AVS forum or Sound and vision forum. I only found one person here who would sell it to me at a nice discount and I like it better then the Anthem that I was going to get. Good luck

I agree with what has been posted - Premiere has the nicest folks and Creative Home Theater has the biggest wow factor. There is so little here that I'm looking forward to a Southern California trip this month to visit a few shops and get caught up...
