Home Audiophiles: Where are the showrooms here in SoCal?

I'm not talking about the Magnolia booths in Best Buy but showrooms you can listen to some Bowers & Wilkins and some Jamo speakers play on a quality audio room.

I'm getting tired of reading speaker reviews. It's like learning how to swim reading a book. I need to get my ears where the speakers are at.

Try South Coast Plaza. IIRC, there are Sony, Bang & Olufson, and Pioneer stores there.

Bose has a dedicated store at the Block in Orange.

Bose stores do have dedicated audio listening rooms but (unfortunately) it's only for Bose systems.

Bump for showroom!!! I'm trying to see how Energy / Paradigm / Polks sounds like in person before I purchase my setup... but most of the stores only sell them but don't carry much on display... and now Circuit City is closed...
