I visited Glenn Poor's Audio back in 1982, and that was my first introduction into the world of hi-end audio. I have been hooked ever since! Geoff and those that worked there were and still are absolutely the most down to earth folks that I have met.
At the time, I had little money to spend on music and hi-fi, but with the guidance of a very good staff, I was able to purchase my first set of great little speakers, the Sequerra Met-7. It worked well for my small listening environment at the time. A couple of years later, I traded in the Sequerra's for a pair of Magnepan MG-1's. What a speaker!
The years have passed and so has a bit of equipment, but I am still a Magnepan owner to this day. The main thing with this bit of history is not so much about the equipment though, as it is about the music and the people. Glenn Poor's has helped me to have a better enjoyment of the music that I listen to, and that is what it is all about to begin with. The folks there do not care if you are going to spend hundreds, or many thousands, they just want you to be satisfied with your purchase, and to make sure it serves the music well.
In this day of over-hyped junk, and the big-box movers and shakers, it is refreshing to come back to town every now and then and visit the folks here. I haven't purchased anything from them in years, but the moment I come in, I am treated with respect, and just the same as the guy who is always in the store buying loads of gear.
The people? All I can say is that the staff is always friendly and committed to the customer. Whether you are just coming in to browse, ask a question or two, listen to some music, they are always friendly and very helpful. Great staff, great equipment, what more can you ask for?
It has been a long while since I have purchased anymore equipment, but when the time comes, I will be going back to Glenn Poor's. I recommend them highly! Tim read more
