A good friend of mine is in the market for some speakers, and travels a bit.

He will be in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada this weekend.

Anyone recommend a decent shop to audition some $500-$1500 speakers?

I have never been, so I cannot help him there!

Perhaps too late to help your friend, but here goes, in no particular order:

Creative Audio, 214 Osborne Street.  They carry Monitor Audio, KEF, Reference 3a, Paradigm, Focal JmLab within that price range.

Advance Electronics, 1300 Portage Avenue.  Many lines; Vienna Acoustics, Paradigm again, Bowers & Wilkins, others.

American Hi Fi, 2nd floor 329 Cumberland has Focal Jm Lab, Behringer, Mark & Daniel, others...

McCulloch Audio Video has recently moved from location last known to me, not sure what Mr. McCulloch is doing, but he had PMC and Angstrom around, others as well...

Stefanko Audio Video 3059 Portage Ave. is doing mostly repair work these days, but still has Tannoys around and various used stock...

Happy hunting,

Generally, you can't beat 6sons audio.  Gary is truly a great guy in this industry.  However, he doesn't carry a lot of speakers, and the ones he does carry would be out of this price range.

I will send you a pm of another possiblity.

Thanks,
Mike
