Tír Na HiFi

Sad to hear this will close, I have found it very useful for the classifieds as well as general forums. Adverts.ie is pretty horrible for high-ish end audio so I’ll miss that option hugely! Looks like the UK ‘WAM site is going off too. Sad to see that as well. Looks like people wants it to stay, so...

I fixed amp and headphone amp there, no complains for me. Daniel, technician there, seemed very knowledgeable and nice guy. Only thing, if I have to mention something, repair can take some time. I wasn't in a hurry so wasn't pushing it

Been once few years ago, saw some PA speakers and nothing specially "hifi", just a nice small pub/club.

I was trying to find the same, asked cloney audio and hifi hut, they said they can do it, but in the end decided to do it on my own to learn (mostly because I don't think they'll spend more than 15-30min on it, and think thats not enough).
