simply has a lot of reliable sources..
I got some small from Kenny Cheung and they turned out to be superior quality.

he often lists sales to simply members
or you can go visit his site and email him.

I highly recommend his Discus... the last ones I got were a couple years ago small VR's Kenny hand picked them and they are amazing.

I had never seen discus as adults that were round .. no flaw in the shape

simplydiscus.com forum is celebrating it's 13th anniversary next month. I'm a long-time member there.
All of the sponsors on that forum are high quality discus suppliers.
As Star_Rider said, Kenny in Daly City, Ca. is a sponsor there, and is arguably the best supplier of top quality discus in the U.S.

Where are you located anyway, Jack ? - There may be a good supplier near you.
Perhaps I can direct you, depending on where you are.

I'm in pennsylvania.
don't have the tank running yet, but will.

i don't need super high end discus, but I do need something better than the pet store garbage i've been seeing.

young discus will be cheaper initially but they do require lots of water changes.

check out Discus Hans he's in maryland, I believe.. so close by also very high quality discus but expect the young discus to start around $25 each( actually cheap price for the quality)

he has the color pattern/type on the left hand side on his online store.. prices will vary depending on the type..
I did see 2.5" alenqers for $25.. (on of my favorites but I tend to go for the 'wild' look . I keep Alenquer and VR(virgin reds)...

some hobbyist breeders located on east coast as well.
