The Difference

When we opened in 1967, our objectives were clear: carry the finest equipment; offer liberal and straightforward policies; be big enough to provide extensive services and competitive prices but small enough to know our customers. Since 1967, audio and video technologies have made great strides, our industry has been transformed, and we have championed these advances. Through it all, however, the human factor has remained constant. Our customers have not become “digitized” and neither has our way of doing business. Whether you are purchasing a cost-no-object whole-house audio/video system, or simply a table radio, we continue to follow our guiding principles.
