Best HIFI Stores LA/Orange
Trying to find the best of the best Hi-Fi stores in Los Angeles and Orange County CA. Getting to the end of my HiFi journey and really need to update my speakers. Looking for extremely high efficiency drivers at 8 ohms for my 300b amplifier. Willing to spend $$$$. I’ve been to Common Wave-excellent store and help from the owner Wes. Have listen to Devore and Acora. But I can’t find any other stores that present really high end speakers. So would appreciate your recommendations.

@carlsbad2 Thanks for the mention! My loudspeakers are complete, the first production sample is being finished now to send out for review along with my Super 2A3 SET just to highlight how well they’ll work with lower powered amps. They’re not only suited for SETs, but also work well with up to 250 watts per channel (I’ve tested this in depth using some old QSC pro sound amps just to see how they handle SS clipping at high power). I should have these on up my website within the next week or so. |
How efficient do you need? What’s your minimum amp wattage? If you need an extremely high efficiency speaker like 100db+ maybe target specific speakers to demo rather than dropping into audio stores that may not have efficient enough speakers

I have two amps: an EL34 and a 300b. The later will max out at around 9 Amos while the former does 4. I’m not big on horns except for those way out of budget. I’m focusing on 91db+ at 8 ohms. The Focal Sopra 2 and 3, Devore Gibbons, Stenheim 2.5 and Acora are my focus for now but I’m open minded and willing to listen to all suggestions. I’m open to used as long as they are in SoCal. |
