Most items are also for sale as demos and most presenters are dealers. But if you determine what you want, then you can determine what the best way to obtain it is.

I believe that Walter is in Hawaii more than in Georgia???

I second the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. You may be surprised at your response to some of the really expensive systems you hear. So two ways to save money. Lots of items on sale and if you trust your own ears and not the hype you should be able to find speakers for far less that sound just the way you like.

I think that the recommendation to attend RMAF is a good suggestion. Dealer inventories and demo stock is very light because of the economy; you will be lucky if you can see or hear all of the specific brands and models you have listed in a given geographic area.

While Southern California is a good choice, I think that the San Francisco Bay area might be better (note - I live in SoCal). There are more high end dealers in a smaller area in the Bay Area, and Southern California dealers are, let's say... unique in their approach to customer relations and sales. This is not a universal pan of SoCal dealers - Brooks Berdan, for example, is a great guy and treats his customers well.
