Howdy all-
Anyone know some audio dealers they would recommend in the Greater Chicago area?
My brother actually lives out in McHenry, but I doubt there is anything out there.

    There's a place up there called Saturday Audio, they have a good selection. I don't know where the storefront is located as I've never actually been in there, but ordered all my PSB gear from them and had it shipped down here and they were very good to work with and gave me a great deal.

    Saturday is very good. The store front has goofy hours so you will have to check before you head down there. I went to a Manley dealer out in the southern burbs I think it was and that was good also had Joseph audio

    Audio Consultants has some interesting gear. Some old stuff, some new stuff. They have stores in Libertyville and Evanston which I have been inside. The Evanston one has some workers that have a condescending feel to them though.
