Yeah, Goldsound is the place I refuse to visit. I was really close to buying a pair of speakers just under $3k, and they refused to drop price. Only thing they considered was if I had purchased speakers, they would knock-off $20 on Thoren's record clamp. Serivce is mediocre at best.
You may want to consider Listenup, Denver Audio Design, Gramophone Sound Inc, Audio Federation, and others I cannot remember at this time. There's this place in Golden that sells Zingali and other exotic speakers. If I can find it later, I will post.
This place on Broadway is great for Vaccum Tubes. If you are heading south on the Broadway, before Alameda on the left. It is called NBS Electronics. If anyone want to walk in, I think it must be between Thursday to Saturday between 3-7pm.
