where can I listen to speakers?

[bigjohn]

Going to be building a house in the next year and am trying to piece together a nice little entertainment center.  Gonna buy a big-ass plasma tv, and I already have a good sub and receiver. I want to get some good bookshelf speakers for front speakers and another set for back (surround) speakers.

 

Would like to go to a place I can listen before I buy.  Is there anywhere in the Charlotte area like this? (Not the Bose store).

There is a place by the mall in Pineville called Zobo that is supposed to be the poo.

It's worthwhile to do this. Many years ago when I bought a pretty powerful stereo I had to pick out some surround sound speakers and listening to different ones caused me to buy Laser instead of Bose - sounded better to me and cost a third less. They are about 15 or so years old and are still my main surround speakers and sub.

Do you know anyone who keeps still images visible on their plasma for hours and hours on end? If so, they might be at risk for burn-in of a modern plasma. Otherwise, it's no longer a concern for the average user.

Thanks SCP. I'm going to have to check them out soon and get some advice and listen to a bunch of stuff.  Got plenty of time but want to start making some decisions.

 

Gonna be a real family room--if it was a true man cave I'd go projector.  Plasma will be great for our needs and burn-in isn't an issue on the newer Plasmas especially.
