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.

I have had good experience with Simply Music, thetubestore.com, and Brooklyn Audio. The only thing I've ever had go wrong with Audio Advisor is that they sold my shipping address (my address at work) to some mailing list, and that's not really something you can take back, because once it's sold, that person can sell it, and so on. I've been scolded for using my business address for non-business related activities (which I'm usually very good about keeping separate, it was Audio Advisor's screw-up). Not pissed enough to stop buying from them, but neither can I recommend them.
my man Stewart at weekend environment,in port orchard is an absolute pleasure to deal with. he trys a lot of new products at his own expense. Stu is usually one step ahead of the crowd. he reviews gear in his news letter that the big boys don't talk about until six or eight months later. which simply means he's not afraid to say that he likes a product without co-signer from on high.
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.
