Noon to ?
I know Overture does have used speakers, just not sure what they have in stock at this time.

You should go to Sulk Audio in Pontiac. He is a speaker building company so you can see exactly what is going in the box. He is very open to people stopping by.
Definitely stop by Audio Dimensions and talk with Harry or his assistant (name escapes me at the moment). Audio Dimensions is on Woodward at Normandy. He has high end stuff but also some speakers in that range. It's a good place to learn about sound, if you are patient.
I'd also try to get hold of David at David Michael Audio in Royal Oak. I believe his store is by appointment only but he has events occasionally on Saturdays. Again, it's high end stuff but he has such a range of gear that if you want to hear something chances are he's got it.
Best route to hear speakers (and gear and systems and music) is to meet folks at SMAC and hook up. There are multiple SMAC splinter cells that meet most weekends each month. We should probably make a list of folks that meet regularly to make it easy for a newcomer to connect - but I can point out a few folks that would be more than willing to help you along on your journey.
I'll let Botrytis answer your question about when the SMAC meet will end this Saturday.
What do you guys think about KEF, the Q50's?
I see a pair listed on CL, seems a fair price.
I'll see if thats doable, do you know about what the price range would be on floorstanders?

Pricing is on their homepage: http://www.salksound.com/
I have some KEF's, from that era, you can hear them if you come.
It would help if you told us what you have and what you are looking to get from a new speaker.
Off topic here,
I need a good computer tech, i have a hard drive that will not work in a external case but was working when i pulled it from my laptop.
I have 1753 full albums i need to retrieve from the old hard drive, or i'll have to buy them all over again.
Anyone know a good local tech that might be able to help?
Old HD - is it IDE or SATA. If it is IDE (40 pin cable) it needs jumpers to properly get it to work. Each manufacturer had different jumper configurations. What brand HD is it? It should say on it.

Have you tried another external case? Good chance that the case is the culprit, especially if it was working fine in the laptop. Some of these external USB cases are cheap junk.
Speaking of which, you can pick up another piece of cheap junk at MicroCenter to test it out - the last time I looked you could easily find one for $10 or less for a 2.5" drive. Worth a shot before you pay someone big bucks for data recovery.
I picked up one of those USB SATA docks that works fine. Cost about $15. Basically turns your drive into a big thumb drive.
I've got a 320 WD parked in it right now I save all my data too.
If you're close to Microcenter, you could even come over here and pop it in mine to see if it works. Only takes a sec to test and I'm 4 miles from Microcenter.
