Hello,
There is a store in Woodridge, Illinois called Holm Audio. They are a Dali dealer. They even have the Rubicon 6 blacks to listen to. All of them are fully broken in. I will tell you if you are looking for a speaker to play Rush it is definitely Dali. They truly rock. The nice thing about Dali is when you get to the 8” drivers they are more efficient. These are one of my favorite speakers. This store is right off the highway I355 and 75th st. They open at 11:00 am Tuesday through Saturday and close at 6:00 pm except on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s when they close at 9:00 pm. You have to come that way to go home anyways. Make sure you tell them what gear you have to push them so they can try to match the sound signatures. Also, try a little near field listening to remove the sound of the room so you know what they sound like without the room. I have been buying my gear from this store for over 20 years. The owner is a great guy who really cares about his customers. They take in trades, let you demo in your home, and have an upgrade program that is second to none. You do have the issue of being in UP Michigan, but I know they have customers who are all over the US that he ships to. These customers will only by from Holm Audio because of the relationship and trust. To me that’s what it boils down to. The trust!

What’s the worst that can happen. You and your wife get to go to a cool Hifi store to listen to your favorite music.
Besides, the Chicagoland area has the best food. You cannot go wrong.
