High end shops in the LA area?
This is driving me crazy getting ready to drop over $1,000 on a set of comps I've never heard before. I've called every local shop and most carry Focal but no Dyns or DLS. Are there any good shops in the LA that might carry the high end stuff? I'm not looking to "use" the shop to demo and then buy online. I would be happy to pay $50 or whatever they want just to listen to these setups.
Reading online reviews is frustrating. One reviewer calls a set boring. Then the next guy calls the exact same set too bright. Some might say they sound great off axis and the next guy says they have to be on axis. Some say no midbass, some say too much midbass..... You get the point.

Did you get the retailers off of the Dyn site? There is LA Audio Video on their site but I don't know if they have a set for listening. I've heard a set in San Diego and they were awesome.

Just find a shop and get some No. 7s.
Have you tried to find some local hobbyists on the national audio boards? I met a guy at a car show once to hear a sq sub once.

I guess i'll do the short version since the wifi in my hotel has caused the last 3 posts to not go through.
I know this is personal preference but if it were you and you had a budget between $900 and $1500 and you were never going to compete but you wanted very good sq at high volumes and you were stuck with whatever you choose for at least 5 years, what set would you get?

Using the exact same criteria that you just posted, this is what I selected for my '08 TL:
http://www.mobilesq.com/products/get_product.php?id=1
They are essentially the same drivers that I use in my home setup.
With any of the speakers/drivers that you are considering you are not going to make a bad choice.

I use to compete when i had my lexus is300 back in 03
I used all dls and I have tons of 1st place trophies. SQ was top notch. Can't go wrong with them.
After i traded my lexus i put them in the benzo now.
I'm sure you can find a dealer in LA
go to dls website and search for a dealer in LA or near you. Goodluck
