Where to go to listen in Seattle

[dtardis]

I am looking for some new speakers for less than $500 a pair. I have had a chance to listen to a pair of B&W's at the magnolia hifi in the tacoma best buy.

I would really like to get a chance to listen to a pair of Kef's and Infinity speakers.

Does anyone know where I can go to get a chance to listen to these? Do you have any other speakers that I should try out also?

Seattle Speakers

Definitely check out Definitive Audio near the U-district. They have B&W along with a few other good brands that you can compare side-by-side. There are also a few other speaker places on the same block that you may want to check out while you're there. In terms of good sales people, I recommend Resolution Audio in Ballard and Tune in Belltown. I have had great listening experiences at all three of these places.

Sorry for not posting links but this site won't let me until I have a higher post count.

Cheers!

Consider making the 2-3 hour trip to Portland, where Aperion Audio is located!

If you are looking for dealers of specific brands, look to the web sites of the manufacturers to see where their closest dealers are to you.

many manufactures sites don't have complete retailers listings.
