Audio is more than the ability to write a check. Audio is more than some pretty boxes piled into a piece of furniture. Audio is more than everything being neatly stacked along the wall.

That is why you need someone with the expertise and the ability to advise and to help you maximize what you spend your hard earned money for.

My father always taught me do your research on whom to buy from before you figured out what to buy.
