Audio Visual Therapy........Exceptional service


I just wanted to say thanks to Mark and John at Audio Visual Therapy in Nashua New Hampshire.

I went there with my father to find a replacement for his 15 year old B&K Ref 20. He had some issues with BluRay soundtracks cutting in and out so it was clear a receiver with the latest codecs was in order. It was my first time there, I live in Massachusetts but it was well worth the drive.

They do home theater but they have a really great selection of 2 channel gear on display. They carry some great lines, Classe, KEF,B&W, C-J, Linn, NAD, Paradigm and Anthem. Plus the best headphone demo room I've ever seen.

Mark spent a great deal of time with us and is very knowledgeable, he's been in the biz a long time. I'm a 2 channel guy and he got me up to speed on the latest codecs and was able to answer every question.

We ended up taking home an Anthem MRX 510, it was perfect for my dad. After running a HDMI monitor out under the floor and new speaker wiring he was up and running in no time.

A great experience overall and I will keep them first in mind now when I get the itch to upgrade.

Hey, I buy used gear too... but sometimes I buy new. I don't understand why you would post such a stupid, smart ass remark like that. It's guys like you that give this hobby a black eye....I was praising one of the last places around where you can actually listen and they spend quality time without rushing you to purchase something you don't need or steer you toward something you can't afford. Just decent guys giving outstanding service. Don't derail my thread with your bullshit. You belong with those douches over at AudioKarma .
Avgoround: sorry my response was a little harsh, but I started the thread to show that places like that still exist.

There's only a handful of dealers that were there in the 80's

Now it's just Audio Lab and Q Audio in Boston/Cambridge. Goodwins in Waltham is mostly High End, like Boulder and Magico...although they treated me great when I bought my sub there. Spearit Sound in Northhampton is a 2.5 drive for me but some of my best deals have been there. They really stepped up when my DAC died after 5 weeks. They are good with trade ins too. I've traded in a few things there which let me afford to buy new when otherwise I may not have.

I live down the street from Audio Concepts.....they are good guys that offer personal service, something that is rare these days. They'll spend the time with you because they know the importance of repeat business. I bought a Blu Ray player from them last year, I suppose I could have bought in on Amazon but I like supporting local business.
