audition spots in los angeles

i am in l.a. for the next month. i am hoping that some of you can recommend a shop where i can demo equipment. i come from a small town in alabama so there's not much to choose from. with a lot of research i've ended up with a pretty synergistic system, but i'd like to hear some of the more unique gear such as vtl, etc. i won't ever get that chance back home so...let me know who's good to deal with out here. thanks, brad hilliker 2out2sea@msn.com

Go to Systems Design Group in Redondo Beach. Their web page is:

They have a good selection of gear but they have the Avlar speakers, I don't know anywhere else that you can hear them.
Jerry the owner is a partner in the Speakers and will give you a great demo.

Have Fun,

John

One of the best rooms that I've heard that's been set up specifically for sound quality is at Precision A/V in Moorpark, a little north of L.A. It's a large room with some excellent audio. There is a lot of good to great equipment out there, but sadly not too many rooms configured to let the equipment really show its stuff. This is certainly one of the best that I've found.
Enjoy.
