I had the pleasure of speaking with Mark a couple of weeks ago. My experience was great and he was…read morevery knowledgeable. I will be using him in the future when we decide to purchase a home theater system. I recently moved to the area and the home we purchased had two speakers in the ceiling with multiple different speaker wires coming out of the wall. As I was trying my best to hook up the ceiling speaker to our TV I was unable to figure out which speaker wire belonged to the ceiling speakers. That is when I turned to Yelp to help me find a service provider. I sent a message through to Mark including pictures of our home set up. Mark reached out the same day over the phone and went over some easy hacks I could use to help solve the problem. He then began to provide me more information regarding a home theater system. His recommendation worked. Thanks again Mark for your help in this matter. I hope to use you again in the future.

Mark returned my call the next day, which was the *only* time he responded promptly. He said he would be in my area at the end the week, but that came and went without a call or text from Mark. I sent him text messages on Sept. 1 and Sept. 7, and finally got a response on Sept. 14, with Mark apologizing for not getting back to me. He indicated he could make something happen the following week, which I agreed to. On Sept. 21, I received a text from Mark indicating he needed to reschedule, as his young child was sick at home, and he needed to be there. Fair enough. On Sept. 27, I texted Mark again, seeking another time he could come out...CRICKETS! On Oct. 10, I texted him again, indicating that I would appreciate a response if he had any intention of working on my project...CRICKETS, to this day! Bottom line: I understand that "stuff" happens that adversely affects schedules, but no amount of "stuff" should prevent common courtesy from occurring - a simple return text or call indicating the problem, and this would have saved me the time of writing this poor review. The Audio Solution may be technically great, but I never got a chance to experience that - only extremely poor communication, or none at all. I can only assume that Mark didn't really want to do the job I need done, but instead of being up front with me, he produced excuses, or didn't communicate at all. POOR business model...CAVEAT EMPTOR: use The Audio Solution at your own risk, especially if you covet communication and follow through with the service you're using.

I always have my TV's professionally calibrated. Recently I upgraded to an 82" Samsung 4k QLED TV…read more Unfortunately I was not very familiar with HDR (High Dynamic Range). The resolution difference between 1080p and 4k is not that great but seeing a movie in HDR can be quite dramatic. I bought the TV from Best Buy and paid for a calibration from them. Well the guy that came out to do the calibration was able to calibrate the TV in SDR but could not get the TV to switch over to HDR to calibrate that color gamut. So basically I paid for half a calibration. I decided to go to a professional calibrator. The 2 businesses that I spoke with were Busch Home Theater and Beeswing. Both businesses were not very familiar with the newer Samsung TV's and said that they needed to do a little research before agreeing to work on my TV. Robert Busch called me back and basically told me that we was unsure if an Autocal with the Calman software he uses would work with my TV. More alarming he said that there was a chance that it could end up bricking my TV and he would not be responsible. Steve at Beeswing called me shortly after and said that after doing his research he was pretty sure he could do the calibration. So needless to say I decided to go with Scott. I made an appointment for a Saturday and Scott arrived right on time. He brought in his equipment, (even took off his shoes which I appreciated since we have cream colored carpet) and got right to work. He spent about 3 or 4 hours doing the SDR and HDR calibrations. Right away I could tell that his SDR calibration was better than the one from Best Buy. Unfortunately for some reason my TV was acting up and was not switching over to the HDR color gamut for us to do a visual appraisal of the HDR calibration. We tried swapping out cables, connecting my 4k players directly to the TV and it seemed like the culprit was my Emotiva XMC-1 processor. Luckily later that afternoon everything went back to normal and my TV displayed HDR correctly in my system. Guess everything just needed to power cycle a few times to re-establish their connections. Oh the joys of HDMI protocols. The only reason I did not give Scott a 5-star rating is because I feel his prices are a bit high. The price he quoted me for the calibration was $550 which was already very expensive to me. But because Scott spent about an hour trying to help me troubleshoot the HDR display problem he ended up charging $600. I realize that this ended up taking up more of his time than originally budgeted for and I appreciate his willingness to help but $550 was already quite a bit more than I wanted to spend on a calibration. I felt that I was paying for a service not necessarily for something that was billed by the hour. But I certainly can't argue with the results. I've watched a few 4k Blu-rays since the calibration and HDR looks absolutely spectacular. Makes me want to re-watch all of my 4k movies. Scott is very nice, super professional and definitely very good at his job.
