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.

Connect with Randy at Optimal Enchantment.  He’s the best in the business and awesome to work with - small showroom; he’s a 1 on 2 operator.  Carries Vandersteen and others - my Vandersteen 5s are amazing 

Second for Optimal Enchantment.  Also check out the Audio Salon in Santa Monica - very high end gear. Wienhart designs in Bel Air also carries some good equipment lines and consignment.

Scott Walker Audio. Has Acora from Canada - said to be the bomb! Expensive as in close to 40K but granite cabinets. Has Magic, and Ideon, for example 

RIP old school Brooks Berdan. It was such an awesome place at its peak. 
 

Upscale is awesome and Ken there is a great guy. 
 

Audio Element is solid too. 
 

I still need to check out Common Wave but have heard great things. 
 

The vibe at Shelley’s hasn’t resonated with me since their renovation. It used to feel more genuine enthusiast to me and now feels more elitist. 

@druckpress That's the vibe I've got too from multiple places mentioned here. Shame because being in sales, never write anyone off.
