Could you give me some audio shop around here you guys use, or did you do most of your buying online.

    Check out Modia near Central and Knox-Henderson http://www.modia.com/
    Don't expect more than 10% discount though. Also Audio Concepts on Preston Rd http://www.audioconceptsonline.com/;

    Krystal Clear Audio on Hi Line Dr.

    They do have used stuff. The new stuff is mostly McIntosh & B&W. Nice store, high prices. :)

    Today will be the first time I have checked out a high priced store, not for me but a friend. I will have to stick with used stuff as people move up the upgrade path.

    Marvin's also carries Paradigm. Sami is also correct on the prices. The folks are pretty nice there and will let you spend some time listening.
