“Some of the best customer service I've encountered. Steve was awesome and patient handling all my questions and helped come up with creative solutions for what I was trying to do with my living room setup and aesthetic. Will absolutely be back for any audio purchases.”

— Chuck

"Not only extremely knowledgeable about their products, but courteous and fun…Highly recommend them."

— Terry

“Knowledgeable and friendly sales support, whether on the phone or by chat. Couldn't be happier with the service and the speakers were the sweet-spot between performance and price. Couldn't recommend Audio Advice enough.”

— Pete

“I've been shopping here for years, and I can't wait to see the updated showroom now that they are partnered with such an amazing company!”

— Luke

“I just experienced some of the best customer service of my lifetime. Fedex had a major mess up and lost my much anticipated new Klipsch Sevens Speakers for my turntable. But, Chris at Audio Advice had my back. He dealt with Fedex directly, and so I wouldn't have to wait for them to work out the issue with Fedex, he went ahead and sent me a new pair OVERNIGHT. Amazon can't hang with this level of customer support. 10/10, A+, would recommend, etc... Go listen to music”

— Sam
