Best HIFI Stores LA/Orange

Looking for extremely high efficiency drivers at 8 ohms for my 300b amplifier.

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.

Venice Audio is probably worth checking out.

Audiogen in downtown is also probably worth checking into. Their range of brands is small, but they carry TuneAudio speakers, very high efficiency. As well as Diapason Speakers, also pretty efficient.

Thanks,  I’ll give both stores a call.  They advertise exactly what I’m looking for.

Upscale Audio and talk to Joel if he’s available. He’s a great guy. As was mentioned above: call ahead. Schedule an audition for Tannoy Turnberry’s. I have a feeling they’ll push you in to Fyne instead since looks like they are stepping away from Tannoy a bit nowadays, but I like them better than the Fynes. Make sure they have the Scottland made ones from existing inventory. I hear some are now being made in Chaiii-nuh.I had a 300b amp with the Turnberry’s and it was heavenly. If you can swing the $, go for the Kensingtons. I received an email from them that they are heavily discounting the blems. If your room is big, go for Canterbury!
