How many dealers are in "your "City ?

Here is a list of equipment that can be bought in the Minneapolis ,MN area .
Speakers : Golden Ear,Martin Logan,NHT,Paradigm,B&W,Dynaudio,Vienna Acoustics,Zu Audio,Anthony Gallo,Linn,Magnepan,Sonus Fabre,Spendor,Vandersteen,Wilson Audio,and Thiel.
Amps/preamps
Bryston,Audio Research,Rogue Audio,Electrocompanient,McIntosh,Classe,Anthem,Rotel,Cambridge Audio,Atmasphere,Ayre,BelCanto,and NAD
Not all can be demoed. A few speakers and amps/preamps from each manufacturer can be heard .I would say 25% of a companies product line can be heard. Is this a normal situation in the U.S. ?? What is your city like ? Slim pickings !

San Francisco Bay Area-There are very few high-end dealers left that cater to audiophiles. There's Music Lover's, in Berkeley; Stereo Unlimited, in Walnut Creek; Audible Difference, in Palo Alto; a couple in San Francisco (city),
House of Music comes to mind. There are a few in the South Bay (San Jose), like The Analog Shop and Century Stereo. I
am sure that someone will add any that I left out. So, while it sounds like there are several around, there is a lot of driving in between. It's not like the old days when there was at least one in every city, sometimes more.
