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.

I reached out to Aric and they sent photos of the prototype.  Very responsive.  Thanks

@langla4 

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.
