Best Retailer Youve Done Business With?

I was not very impressed with Audio Perfection...they left me in a room and never even bothered to walk me through what was hooked up and if I preffered a different pre/ or cd player. They pointed to the piece of gear, grunted, and left me in the room. The listening room had speakers haphazardly strewn throughout the area. Nearly impossible to demo anything. You have to show a little care when you want the customer to shell out many thousands of dollars on audio gear. They carry some nice gear and have a large selection but the customer service I received left alot to be desired. Who knows, maybe I came in on a bad day but I sure like Stereoland in Uptown a whole lot better after my trip to Audio Perfection. One of my worst shopping experiences in audio.

PROGRESSIVE AUDIO in Columbus, Ohio. These guys are great to deal with, and NO high pressure. They have 15 listening rooms on 3 floors with many brands to choose from in all price ranges. They are also into doing custom installations into homes and businesses. I know it sounds like I work there, but I don't. I am just a very satisfied customer.

JOHN AT AUDIO CONNECTION IN N.J. IS THE ONLY PLACE I CAN TRULY RECOMMEND.NOT ONLY DOES HE KNOW ..... HE IS A SUPER NICE GUY.LAST ST. PATRICKS DAY RICHARD VANDERSTEEN WAS UP VISITING HIM AND WE LISTENED TO VANDERSTEEN 5 IN ONE OF JOHNS MANY LISTENING ROOMS.NO DISSAPOINTMENTS THERE.

John Goldman of Goldman audio is terrific. My experience with him was among the best I have had in over 25 years of audio dealings. He offers fair pricing, in-home trials and never puts the squeeze on his customers. Reach him at goldmanaudio.com- you cannot go wrong!!

Robert at Star Sound, who make Audio Points, is really cool and helped me out a lot in replacing my speaker spikes. He knows a whole bunch of crap and worked with me in getting what I wanted. I definately plan to call him again for my componenets. The guy who owns? designs for Merlin is also cool to talk to. Both these guys are really confident about their products, which i think is great. My experiences with these two and some others have led me to routinely call the company instead of or before going to a dealer.
