Ah the lonely world of Audiophilia. My co workers don't understand, my wife pities me (just kidding). I live in Albany, Oregon home of no respectable audio stores. I lived in Corvallis for 21 yrs where there is only one credible audio store (I do not consider an audio store with car stereo junk and decibel contests credible). We only had Northwest Audio Labs and it's proprietor Jim Ott. Jim is a true audiophile and gentleman. Unfortunately due to the the size of his store he can only carry a couple of brands NAD, Marantz, Paradigm, and Boston Acoustics. 40 miles to the south in Eugene is Bradford's Home Entertainment whose proprietors Geoff and Tim are great to work with and they have a great range of products from Vandersteen to Magnepan, form Musical Fidelity and Creek to Denon and Marantz, as well as Rotel, Paradigm, and B&W. It's a great store. 80 miles north is Portland and several great stores but my personal fave is stereotypes they are laid back and thaey have great equipment. Anyway it would be graet to have a local audio club. Anyone interested!
