Audio shops near Clearwater, Florida

Unfortunately, being a family vacation, driving to east coast is not an option.
I listened to some Wilson Audio loudspeakers today and really liked the massive sound they projected in the room. What speakers in the $8k range would produce at least 80% of this sound?

It depends on what Wilson's you're talking about, as well as the electronics driving them. My $2000 Vandersteen Model 2's have no problem besting my $10,000 Wilson Cubs, when set up properly.

Blue Jay Audio in Sarasota is my recommendation. Lots of great brands, helpful advice and no pressure sales. Oh, and the owner is an excellent guy. Oh wait, that's me.

Anyway, my shop sells Vac, Vivid, Focal, Dynaudio, Harbeth, Scansonic, Tannoy, Dali, Unison Research, Bel Canto, Naim, Luxman, Arcam, Exposure, Rega, Penaudio and several others.

Ha ha Michael. You are about 1 hour away from the beach. I will try to make it since you are relatively close. Need to convince the wife, that I need to be excused for 4 hours :-)
