Spearit Sound in MA is very good and Jack Tozzi, in particular, is outstanding.
I can tell you why, Taters: Brooks left behind a widow, Sheila Berdan---Brian's mother, and she and Brian couldn't come to an economic arrangement for the shop that worked for both of them. Brian left to start Audio Element in Pasadena, taking with him some important lines (Wilson, VTL), as well as his expertise (years of training by Brooks) and reputation, not to mention some BBL clints. Sheila took over the old store, keeping on the old staff (some great guys), and bringing in some good new lines. They are both worthy of patronage.

That is so sad and a warning tale for family businesses to have a success plan in place w, for example, key man insurance to make sure that there are enough funds to make a transition. And no I am not an insurance salesman.
Another positive vote for Jack Tozzi @ Spearit Sound. I have often wondered over the years if JT was still around? It is good to read that he is still around and well.

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
