Zargon, have you ever been to Sound Asylum in Venice? I have not, but I really like the brands they carry.
TVAD, I have not had a chance to visit Sound Asylum. However, it occurs to me that there are a couple of others in that area.

Systems Design Group

A plethora of good equipment in well designed listening rooms +...

The Home Theater Doctor

Vandersteen +...
K J West One in London UK

Spearit Sound in Boston, MA

Audio Exotics in Hong Kong
In the San Diego area:

Stereo Unlimited. Very friendly and generous about loaning equipment. They have an emphasis on analog and tubes. This is where I've dropped the most green. They also have a room full of records.

The other two are guys that work out of their home: Sonic Culture, where I bought my Gyro turntable, and Audio Revelation.
From across the Big Pond:

Transparent Acoustic (Kronberg/Ts, Germany)
Hoergenuss (Frankfurt/M, Germany)
Raum Ton Kunst (Frankfurt/M, Germany)
Technology Factory (Antwerp, Belgium)
Daluso (Echt, Netherlands)

And although not a dealership since Dan only offers his proprietary products, I nevertheless feel compelled to mention in the US:

edenSound (Eden, VT)
