First of all, we thank you for visiting our new website and we hope to see you in our showroom location. A lot of things have changed in the past six months: we completely renovated the showroom, created a new website and logo, and invested in many new brands.
Had you seen our store last year, you might not even recognize our newly renovated store. We made significant investments in our store to allow our clients to have the very best audio/video experience in Austin, TX. The first addition you will notice as you enter our showroom is our Dolby Atmos 7.2.4 THX theater. We created this theater to allow our clients to experience what’s possible with a professionally designed home theater. Our theater design started by designing a room with ideal dimensions, which reduces acoustical issues and optimizes sound quality. However, a room is nothing without the proper components to make the room come alive during TV, movies, or concerts. Our home theater includes a host of reference level gear:
- Surround Processor
- Lyngdorf MP-60
- Movie Player
- kaleidescape Strato S movie player
- Projector
- Wolf Cinema TXF-1500
- Speakers
- KEF 5160REF-THX (front right and left speakers)
- KEF 5160RL-THX (center channel, front right and left surround)
- KEF 3160RL-THX (back right and left surrounds)
- KEF Ci200RS-THX (in ceiling Atmos channels)
- Subwoofers
- JL Audio F212v2
- Amplifiers
- Hegel C5 Series (9 channels of amplification)
From the acoustic design to the reference level components, we believe our theater experience will exceed all others in Austin. While the theater is truly remarkable, not everyone is looking to create a home theater. We also wanted to create an elevated experience for people interested in two-channel audio and that’s why we also built a two dedicated listening rooms. The room was also built using ideal dimensions and has been acoustically treated with absorption and diffusion features to further refine the sound experience. If you are looking for uncompromised sound, please visit this room to hear what reference level truly sounds like.
Just like our showroom, we significantly refreshed both our website and logo. With all the changes, we needed a logo and website to highlight the new and exciting changes. In addition, the new website will provide a better foundation to serve our clients better in the future. Our new website architecture provided the proper foundation to build this blog, a future online store, accept payments, schedule appointments online, and many more capabilities now and in the future.
The final improvement over the last six months was the addition of numerous brands that have no or limited representation in the Austin area. Each brand was meticulously chosen due to their unique features. Not everyone prefers the same style of sound. We selected brands based upon that belief, selecting amplifiers with various topologies and speakers that feature unique sound and design characteristics. With all this selection, we believe we can help you find a speaker that will match your décor and provide years of enjoyable listening sessions.
With all these changes to the showroom, website, and brand selection you would think we would be satisfied. While we are enamored with the progress over the first half of the year, we aren’t satisfied yet. We will continue to evolve our brand and add to our showroom. Our next big projects over the coming months include: adding headphone brands, building out another 1000 square feet of retail space, and adding tube amplifiers to our already sizable selection. This blog will be active addition to our website; so, please check-in occasionally for store news, product reviews, industry news, and informational topics in our industry.
