Hi AV and Jim: Yes, I heard that Shellie's lost their lease at the SM store (the hospital was going to tear down the buidings and put up a park). No one has mentioned LA Audio in East Hollywood. I don't shop there anymore (long story) but they carry a lot of good lines including tube gear. Ambrosia had always been very helpful (over the phone) with my somewhat stupid questions and I would like to visit them as well as Brooks when I have more money in my pocket. GNP was great when I visited a couple of times and "offered" a home demo of some speakers that I was (seriously) considering. If you were to venture to the valley there is another shop out around Shellie's that I have heard mentioned, but can't recall the name or city off hand.
