This message may come late, but Boenicke has several dealers throughout the US. I'm certain there are several in California. We even have two dealers here in Chicago and I know there's one in Minneapolis. Unfortunately, not many dealers advertise the brand. I'm pretty damn good at hunting these places down, so if you still need help, please let me know. Also, I've heard these speakers. INCREDIBLE! They can challenge speakers costing more than twice their price. But the difference between the SE and the SE+ is not worth it, IMHO. The SE's are so true and balanced that they're hard to improve on, given how well constructed they are to begin with. The SE+ has a slightly larger soundstage, but the SE's soundstage is already dark, deep, and wide beyond any speaker under $25K that I've heard. My challenge is do I save a lot of money and get the W11SE's or do I go with my original plan and buy the Raidho XT-3's for a hell of a lot more. I fell in love with the XT-3's and when my mind is set on something, it's nearly impossible to change it. To make things more complicated, I have not been able to hear them side by side. One more thing, the Boenicke's need an intense amount of burn-in. At first, the base will make you wish you'd never bought them. But after two-to-three weeks of running them to classical music (highly dynamic), or a program for this purpose—nonstop—they will relax, the stage will widen, and you'll be thrilled with them. Boenicke does do about 200 hours of burn-in before sending them out, but it's not nearly enough to accomplish their operational best.
