Applause seems to have found a niche that I would love to visit and spend some time around. It looks, laidback, unpretentious, and comfortable. From the pics in this tour the place seems it would be a great place to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon listening to some different gear.

Take the tour through this unigue little shop/gallery.

Anyone been there? Let me know what you thought.

    interesting for sure.

    Hard for me to navigate the site. maybe I'm stupid, couldn't even see dealer list of product lines.

    I would definatly check it out if I lived up there. Tell us what you think organ.

    If one didn't have to make a "living", it looks like a store like this would be a great place to spend your time sharing your love for nice audio with those that understand that 2 channel still has its place.

    Let the music just wash over you.............;)

    This site is simply from a review of the store, as they found it intriguing.

    The Applause website is terrible, but gives you product lines.

    I've passed by it when I'm down in that area. Toronto is blessed with a number of places like this.
