good hifi store in Bay Area

Not sure about current brands, but here are my favorite stores in the area:

Music Lover's

and Audio Visions

Both are good shops neither sell B&W though we visted both shops a few months ago.

Looking at the Music Lover's Speaker line up they do sell the Paradigm Persona's. IMHO they have it all over the B&W's. At my dealers he had a very nice compact system for a small to Medium room. The Persona Monitors and the Naim Atom. Doesn't take up much room but a nice big detailed sound.

@hifineubee have you tried the dealer locator from B&W's web site? Sounds like you might be looking for a non-custom installer—you can filter them out in the dealer locator.

The 2 shops mentioned are good and I have been to both.

If you are near the South Bay then there is also a very good store at the Mountain View train station. I forgot the name but it is on Castro across from Central (beside Thai restaurant).  You can walk from the BART station

There is also a good smaller store at the Campbell downtown area. That downtown is so small you can easily look it up.
