Best Retailer Youve Done Business With?


Not a Top Ten Thread this time. But lets hear it for the Audio Dealers that are truly deserving and go that extra mile for your dollar. These people never get enough credit for all their hard work.

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.
Steve Davis HIFIFARM I don't even mess with my local dealers anymore. He definitely knows the business and what you need.
AUDIOPERFECTION in Minnesota is run by an opinionated, self-important group of individuals who feel that they have the last word on audio gear. They show little interest in assisting customers and will not, under any circumstances consider a discount even when one is intending to spend more than 20K on a system. Most maddening is their condesending attitude. I will never step back into their higgeldy-piggeldy toy shop pretending to be a high end audio operation.
donmorrisonaudio.com has a product unlike any I have ever purchased and I have purchased well over $100,000.00 in 2 channel audio alone, not to mention HT, not to mention the office, the boat, etc....maybe I have a problem....but I recognize exceptional sound and value when I hear it...in short, buy the g-- d--- thing, for <800 dollars, late night, you own a product worth > million. As a refreshing plus, Don Morrison is a unique and honest individual that handbuilds every unit and is genuinely intent on helping you enjoy music as close as it gets to 6th row center...both accoustic and processed music. If your into objective measurements ( the Audio Critic tested it as the best measured preamp ever)as well as the ethereal or supernatural aspects of reproduced music, it don't get any f------ better than this, IMHO. In fact, given the 3 to 4 month wait, and the likely resale value of this classic, I will pay anyone what they paid to Morrison for the unit, assuming no damage or "tweaking" by the original owner, plus shipping paid by me, if they think there is a better 2 channel at any price......email for details. Thanks.
