Chicago-area dealer recommendation

Friends 
I hope everyone is well and using this time in isolation to enjoy our systems and music.  

This summer I will be moving to the Chicago area and down-sizing from my current home in Vegas to a smaller townhouse/condo.  

I anticipate that my beloved BHK 300 monos and Focal Kanta 3s and subs will be too large for my new space.  

Can anyone recommend Chicago-area dealer to help me transition to a more living space appropriate system of equal or better quality?

I probably will keep my BHK pre, Fidelizer Nimitra Signature server and Modwright/Oppo Sonica DAC, but would be open to other possibilities.  Thanks and stay safe. Daniel

I am in Kansas City, the two channel audio wasteland of the central states. Many trips to Chicago to listen to different things. There are some great people and great companies there. Mick at Quintessence Audio is at the top of the list. He even brought on John from Audio Consultants, and I hear he’s a great addition.  Jamie at F1 Audio is another. Mike at Audio Archon shows from his home, but fills in the gap in brands that Mick and Jamie don’t have.

Mick @ Quintessence and Ken @ Pro Musica have been at it the longest after AC folded up.

I strongly recommend F1 Audio as well. If you are moving to a smaller room maybe check out the new Magico A1 they are the new bookshelf. They are incredible for the price and work well in a smaller room. You can always add a sub down the road as well. Mick at quintessence is great as well and there is also simply stereo. Music direct is good but I always try to buy from the smaller local dealers as opposed to the big guys. ABT is also worth a look they carry B&W, Sonus Fabre and Martin Logan. 

The local guys are more likely to work with you on pricing. Plus if we don’t support them they will be gone.
