I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a high-quality audio system, and exceptional service.

Outstanding Service and Support at Ahead Stereo…read more I purchased my McIntosh turntable from Ahead Stereo and recently ran into an issue with my stylus. I reached out to Brian, and he immediately went above and beyond--contacting McIntosh on my behalf, walking me through the options, and ultimately helping me get back up and running. What stood out most wasn't just the solution, but the care and integrity Brian showed throughout the process. He didn't treat me like just another transaction, he treated me like a valued customer. That kind of support is rare, and it's exactly why I'll keep coming back to Ahead Stereo. If you're into high-end audio and want a dealer who stands by their customers, this is the place. Highly recommend.

Today during my visit to ahead stereo I was looking for an education in creating a future home stereo system, I'm not up to date on all the options, but have a general idea of what I'm trying to achieve. These folks seemed interested in selling me a consultation for a couple hundred dollars rather than trust helping me and winning my trust, it seemed they were concerned if the helped me understand what would be a good solution I would leave the store and buy online. That was not the plan and once I figure out what I'm looking for I'll probably be back to buy local, as I'm a big supporter of that concept. My suggestion in the future is customer comes first, build the trust and loyalty will follow.

They helped me get everything set up, did beautiful custom cable work and answered every question I had with helpfulness and a real enthusiasm for their work.

Pro Audio LA was once a highly reputable, trustworthy, consistently reliable company with an…read moreexemplary business model. But over the course of the past year or so (beginning around roughly mid-2025 and onward), the company inexplicably took a nosedive with its prior reputation and is quickly sending it to the dumpster, given that it mysteriously no longer responds to communications and is increasingly failing to fulfill and/or ship its existing orders. I am not certain what suddenly changed - perhaps the ownership was transfered and/or bought out, or maybe their next-of-kin inherited the business - but regardless of the reasons, I CAN tell you with certainty by this point in time is that this is no longer the Pro Audio LA which we audio professionals so fondly remember, most sadly to say. Because all of its communications and ordering processes have just about broken down within the past months, even as it continues to accept your online orders and take your money! For the record: I have $300-worth of audio interconnect cables ordered from this past springtime of 2026, and it is now mid-July as of the time of my writing of this review, yet STILL I have heard nothing further of my order. Even after multiple communication attempts. Nothing but dead silence on the other end, even though ... again ... the online order form remains open, functional, and happily charges your credit card without batting an eyelash. Clearly, something has gone terribly, heinously amiss while SOMEONE on the other end continues to take your money. And that's just about where the paper trail ends, because your online order stays in perpetual "processing" with nothing further done. That's where it sits, even as of today. So, please, heed my warning and do NOT give Pro Audio LA a single cent of your business from this point, onward. At least not until some kind of definitive light is shed on whatever has transpired within the establishment, regarding its suddenly-tanking business model. Because this doesn't smell right at all, and I am not the only recent buyer who has been raising awareness about the recent 180° turn for the worse by this company.

Yes, it was a very big deal to me, and even though it seemingly shouldn't have been for them, they made me feel important and they were always eager to share their insight and advice. Or the best part, demo products at their insanely cool showroom! To top it off, they went above and beyond and hand-delivered my equipment and still treated me with 100% respect when I changed my mind on the amp after taking delivery.

Karim, the owner, answered the phone immediately which was refreshing because many small businesses have their phones go to voicemails when they are out in the field. Karim was able to fit me in as their last appointment for the day which meant that they were at our house in under 2 hours after my initial call. Both Karim and his partner, Antonio, were professional, courteous and had deep knowledge and experience with TVs, mounting and related areas. They quickly assessed our requirements and made some great recommendations for our final setup. We had them install our new OLED as well as relocate an exiting 75" TV to another room. They were extremely careful with the handling of the TVs and placed the appropriate protective material over dressers and other furniture. Even though it was late in the afternoon, they took their time and did not rush their work. In the end, the installations and all of the connections to our sound systems were perfect. Based on my experience with installing TVs, I can confidently state that High Def Solutions will provide extraordinary quality and service with great communication. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for TV installations and other tech related services.

He also programmed my new universal remote (which I think you need a special collage degree in just to make it do the most basic commands) to eliminate the 6 other remotes taking up space. He took the time to explain how everything works without rushing and didn't leave until I was totally comfortable with the system. It also seems like he spends time researching the latest trends and technology so was able to make recommendations on the most cost effective but highest quality gear for my taste. I've had the same entertainment system/TV for like 12 years and was a bit nervous about upgrading but working with Chris made it a very exciting and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!

He carefully listens to the needs of the customer and, along with his team of experts, ensures that you are completely satisfied with your audio/video home experience.
