Does anyone know of a reputable Montreal-area pro audio/broadcast equipment dealer?
 

Does anyone know of a _reputable_ Montreal-area pro audio/broadcast
equipment dealer? I know there are Solotech, CEV, and Steve's Music,
but I'm looking for one that would also sell such things as broadcast
consoles (ie. the Soundcraft RM range.)

Thanks. (This isn't for me, it's for a friend.)

They are the big name in Montreal and also have a Toronto office. But be
careful---I have a friend who was utterly screwed by them.

If I may, forget about Steve's. They're ok for picks and patch cords,
but my experience is that the staff doesn't know anything about what
they sell. If you know exactly what you want and don't expect too much
service, maybe.
A friend of mine, who is TD in a local student radio told me that he
bought his broadcast console at Groupe Berger.
(http://groupeberger.com) They're a bit outside of the city, but he
only works with them now...
I had contacts a few times on the phone with them, and they seem to be
ok.
Otherwise, there's Omnison, APL...

I would be interested to hear from your friend's experience when he's
done...
