I bought some JBL L100 Classic floor models. Dude didn't have the box, to he said I could "borrow" moving blankets..I came back some time later, First think out of his mouth...Where are my blankets!!??" I'm not sure what a couple of moving blankets are worth , but it cost you a nuisance of a customer I guess.. I've been taking my business elsewhere ever since, but this never sat well with me. If you like to get the best stuff you can afford, go elsewhere!!! If you have 100+k to spend on great gear, go here I guess..otherwise f off.

I walked into Excel Audio nearly nine years ago with a simple question about a tonearm--and walked…read moreout with something much bigger: a place I trust with every hard-earned dollar I spend on audio gear. Since then, I've picked up multiple speakers, amps, turntables, and a ridiculous amount of vinyl. And let me tell you--there's no one I trust more than Mike Rose when it comes to building the perfect setup. The guy knows high-end audio, jazz, rock--you name it--better than anyone I've met. But it's more than just knowledge. He actually listens--not just to the gear, but to what you want out of your system. No sales pressure. No gimmicks. Just straight-up passion and expertise. I moved out of state a few years ago, but every time I'm back in town, I make it a point to stop by--whether it's to pick up an album (or a few) or to grab more gear that he can drop-ship to me wherever I am. My latest visit reminded me of something important--it was long overdue to leave this review. If you care about killer sound and honest advice--do yourself a favor and visit Excel Audio. You won't find a better place or a better guy to guide you.

I recently purchased a new amplifier and preamp from RockonAV, and the experience exceeded my…read moreexpectations. As an out of state buyer, I was a bit nervous at the start. However, the owner was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and patient throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer my questions and made sure I felt comfortable before moving forward. The transaction itself was smooth and professional from beginning to end, and the equipment arrived exactly as expected. What could have been a stressful purchase turned into a very easy and positive experience. I would absolutely recommend RockonAV to anyone considering high end audio equipment, and I would not hesitate to purchase from them again.

I went in wanting to love the KEF LS60 and ended up falling in love with the sound of KEF R3 Meta + Hegel H190v. Russell was patient with re-arranging and re-visiting speaker placements.

Highly recommend Russell and RockOnAV!

He was happy to pass on his wealth of knowledge and let me make an educated decision. I'll be returning in the future for further guidance and purchases. Highly recommend.

After looking at a couple options I settled on trying out Blind Dog's cleaning service. They offer an ultrasonic cleaning for records so thought I'd give them a shot. Mark was very helpful and quick to take care of my vinyl, and the price was fair for a double LP. The cleaning has increased the clarity for this record by a wide margin. Some crackling still remains, but probably have to accept that's from damage. Overall very happy with the service provided; glad my record could be restored to the point of enjoyable listening. Also an awesome shop to browse around. Clean, spacious and well organized. Will definitely come by again to pick up some records down the road.

I scheduled the appointment to have a 12.3 Android Car Play unit in my Mercedes-Benz. I showed up this morning and met with Arian, a true professional at his trade as well as a kind, honest and knowledgeable individual. The shop is meticulously maintained and has a vast array of tools, work bench areas, awesome LED ceiling lighting, a waiting area, front office and conference/training room. This shop and team of professionals are a class act. Arian explained the installation process and timeline and I was quite impressed. The Rolls Royce in the shop that was getting customized with lighting and sound was a testament to the quality of work that Arian, Sam and the other team members provide when you bring your car into the shop. Arian called me when the car was completed and when I arrived gave me a very thorough orientation on the features, modes and operational functionality of the new unit. Very impressive and truly a plus when you have such a professional take the time to show you the details and functions of the new unit. Sam was in the shop as well as was amazing. Great customer service! These guys not only know their business and have vast knowledge of car Audio and accessories but are transparent, kind and informative professionals. Sam showed me the lighting in the Rolls Royce and also a few options that can be installed on the Mercedes-Benz. I opted for the very nice AMG entry lighting. Very cool. If you are looking for the best in the business relative to car Audio, Video and accessories you must call Sorena Car Audio and speak with Sam or Arian. This is my second review which I am labeling Phase II completion, as I did review them previously after initial contact simply due to the professionalism, knowledge, customer service and other posted industry reviews. Sorena is simply the best and I highly recommend this amazing team of professionals.
