Did Simon change his name or did you take down the wrong spelling? As for Audio Consultants, I had the privilege of working for Simon many years back at the old 517 Davis St. store. A true gentleman, extremely knowledgable on all things audio, and a business with the highest scruples. That his business has survived and thrived for this long, while all the others running at the time are gone is telling. Back in my day, Chicago's audio scene was served by the likes of Musicraft, United Audio, Victor's, Paul Heath, Pacific Stereo, Playback, and Audio Consultants. Now only Audio Consultants remains. Of course some new players like Holm and Quintessence have come in, but Audio Consultants remains the one with the longest history, a great mix of products, and a stellar reputation built on years of excellent service.
