Here below we list hi-fi and AV specialist retailers that have been brought to our attention for some reason, but note that we do not systematically collect info on retailers so there may be other resources on the net that are more suitable. If you are looking for a local retailer for a specific brand it is better find the brand first on the Hi-Fi & AV Manufacturers page, then either find a dealer from the brands homepage or find a local distributor linked to from the manufacturers links page and from there find a dealer either from the distributors homepage or by contacting those that do not have a web presence.
Be aware that many of the distributors listed on the Canada distribtors page are either retailers as well or hold out lists of local dealers on their homepages so consult that listing as well. Please let me know at oligunnlaugs@gmail.com if any of the operations below is out of business
