The Best Audio Dealer

My vote would be for Richard Bird of Rives Audio. The room is as much a component, and as big a part of the system, as any other. I am currently working with him on a redesign of my room. He is knowlegable, professional, listens to your needs, and creates a room to be proud of. Not only will my room sound great when he is done with it, it is going to look great as well. He knows sound and he knows aesthetics. Judging from the concept plan we went over today, my room is going to look a lot better than it does now, and sound better exponentialy.

North, South, East or West, my buddy Brooks Berdan is unquestionably best.

I recommend three: Kevin Deal from Upscale, Jimmy and Mario fro Toys From the Attic, and Dan from Dedicated Audio. These guys are all terrific and have helped me get the sound I want without pressure. They are all a pleasure to deal with.

Freds Sound of Music, Portland Oregon. Great store, friendly, helpful to a fault. Give em a try.

Venus Hifi.....Bloomington, Indiana. Excellent service when I purchased my Final Music 5 and Music 6 preamp and amps. What a nice guy.

Sound and Mind Audio...Austin, Texas...excellent upgrade and returns policy. Last bought my DNA 225 from him (forgot his name...took in a AR complete that was having electronic problems...without any problems.)

PKM audio...Mel, nice guy. Bought all of my 47 Labs stuff from him. Great man.

Toys from the Attic....went there once, never returned. Had advertised items on sale, VPI Junior....service was pathetic. Salesperson was not even interested in showing me the demo stuff....no interested on sales. Then, after I returned home, I got a call from the owner, asking whether I was interested in some demo stuff(I had left a message in the morning before I went...) I did not bother to explain anything. They have no clue of what is happening there.
