    Save yourself countless hours of research through online forums and call Burt for all your AV…read moreneeds! Home AV is one of my passions and definitely a hobby. One of the frustrating things about getting into something beyond Home Theater in a Box is the barrier to entry. Burt at Seattle Hi-Fi can help you demystify any questions you might have whether you are a novice or interested in bi-amping into a stereo amp bridge to a mono-block. Burt can hang with just about anyone and has the same positive attitude no matter the conversation. One of the key differentiators with Seattle Hi-Fi vs every other company I have done business with is how welcoming they are to your needs AND budget! Any AV shop will cater to your needs if your budget is right. All AV shops can make you feel welcomed if you are spending a huge amount of money. Burt has helped me when I was spending a single digit % of his suggested budget on an item the exact same as when I was spending more than what he suggested! I have felt like an extremely valued customer through every interaction with Burt, regardless of what I needed or what I was spending. Burt has spent time helping me debug problems AFTER the purchase was complete on a new use case I had and just generally is fantastic. Seattle Hi-Fi is my favorite store in the greater Seattle area, and my favorite AV store I have ever been to! Cannot recommend Seattle Hi-Fi enough.

    Update - came back after the first great experience to investigate a power filter. I've not had…read moregreat luck with power conditioners - they are expensive and don't seem to do much. If anything, they've limited sound quality. Seattle HiFi recommended the Niagara 1200, and phoned me when one became available. I was open to looking at the more expensive versions but was persuaded that I really just needed the basic 1200 model. With low expectations, I plugged my gear in. Wow. Immediately heard improvements. Cleaner top end, more detail, better bass definition, and less ear fatigue when listening to digital gear. Color me highly impressed again.

    Though Definitive has awesome listening rooms that might look daunting to newbies not looking to…read morespend over $3k, let alone $100k, they actually have a nice range of brands and equipment at prices starting from fairly affordable price points (for those shopping at big box stores such as Magnolia) to the astronomically priced. I personally appreciate that they have a strong lineup of brands focusing on dedicated 2-channel music listening rather than just emphasizing home theater. What I like best about Definitive is working with Scott. I find that I know what I like and don't like pretty quickly when auditioning equipment. I'm not swayed by brands, equipment prices, visual appearance, or reviews. Only the sound quality is what's important to me (and something visually acceptable to my wife!) I appreciate that when Scott had set up equipment comparisons for me that he is politely honest in his subjective assessments; this is not just better/worse judgments but how he describes the qualities of the music reproduction. And that Scott's subjective assessments dovetail closely with what I'm hearing as well. He seems to have a good sense of what his customers' listening preferences are & is good at providing equipment recommendations to match with those preferences. I had casually asked via email about a specific model of integrated amplifier with active room correction that was well reviewed in the audio media & was surprised to hear his comments that it might not necessarily be the best fit for my listening preferences. I appreciate his honesty and trust his opinions and recommendations. His honesty and integrity may not necessarily get Definitive my business every time (after all Seattle is not lacking for good high-end audio stores), but it has certainly won Definitive a place on my short-list of audio store that I will always consult before making a purchase. If you live on the Eastside, definitely consider visiting Definitive whether you are shopping big box stores or other high-end audio stores.

Communication was excellent and professional and installation was perfect. Most importantly, the final result is incredible and even better than anticipated which doesn't happen very often! I'm so happy with Definitive Audio and highly recommend working with this team. They are pros!
