Default San Francisco Bay Area AD/Installer

Coming off the heels of another thread, does anyone have recommendations for Bay Area dealers that carry Mcintosh (and ideally B&W) that are reputable know their stuff?

Trying to find someone I implicitly trust and can partner with to build and install a system.

i've tried Magnolia and World of Sound...

There is House of Music in San Francisco. I haven’t worked with them directly, but I have been to their showroom. They seem very knowledgeable and helpful and carry the brands that you are interested in, all in a spectacular setting.

As for myself, I’ve used Magnolia for most of my purchases and installations with great results. I’ve got a few people that I exclusively work with and they have always taken care of me. If you are interested, I can make an introduction. Feel free to let me know via PM.

Unfortunately, HOM was the disaster - btw, they are no longer an AD for Mcintosh (though their website implies that they are - par for the course with them).

Will send you an IM

Unfortunately HoM lost a few key people over the last few years.
