    I rarely post Yelp reviews, but I couldn't stay silent about the wonderful experience I had here. I've been in the audiophile Hi-Fi headphone game for about 4 years now, and I'm angry at myself for only discovering The Source AV last week. I wish I had known about them sooner. I was looking to upgrade my headphones, but it was difficult to find places to try on headphones. My previous method was buying a bunch of different headphones online, trying them out, deciding on keeping one, and returning the rest. It was a hassle and extremely time consuming. I would check online and forums to where I could try on headphones All the suggestions were always so far from where I lived or didn't have what I was looking for. Then I discovered The Source AV in Torrance. I am telling you, whether you are an audiophile or not, you owe it to yourself to check this place out. It blew my mind just how much equipment they had for you to demo. And I'm not just talking headphones, they got all kinds of equipment. From DACs to amps to speakers to full blown home theaters; from humble equipment to ultra high end they got it all. They even buy used audio equipment. The staff is also very knowledgeable and not pushy at all. William gave me a tour of the store and gave me a demo of their McIntosh reference home theater. What an experience! Wayne helped me with my headphones needs and was also very helpful helping me make the right choice. The staff is extremely patient and they will let you try out everything for hours if you need it. Audio is a very personal and subjective thing. Everybody has different tastes and different ears. Also Hi-Fi audio is not cheap. It's a big investment, so finding the right product is important. Luckily the staff knows this and will take care of you. They want to find the right product for you, not just upsell. I came last week to do some testing and get a trade in value for my Audeze LCD-X headphones. They got back to me with a quote, so I stopped in today and picked up the Focal Clear MGs. It was a fantastic experience and I couldn't be happier. I will definitely be back for all my future home audio needs.

    Every high-end Focal speakers on display including the new Sopra and the $$$$ Grande Utopia.

    I was visiting a friend living in SoCal so I wanted check out some Hi-Fi shops during my stay. Credits to Yelp, I found The Source AV. Jason took time to show me around; asked about my system (McIntosh, Focal, Cary Audio) and made me feel welcomed. The store looked immaculate, everything was hooked up and ready to audition. I've been in this hobby since my teens so I've been to many Hi-Fi stores in the last 3 decades. Often times I walk away unimpressed by the products on display or worst, by the staff. Not in this case! During my 2+ hrs. stay I did not feel judged or sold to. I was treated with respect, like an old friend visiting. There were so much high-end products to see and audition I can easily spend a full day here. Lately I have moved to headphones listening so I was happy to learn that they are updating the store to include a "headphones bar". I did not buy anything on that visit, but my experience was so positive I will pick Jason's brain again when I'm in the position to buy. If this store was in my area (San Francisco), I would be in trouble. LOL.....

I contacted a few Security Systems companies via Yelp and CRISP was the first to respond. Ricardo followed up quickly and often and was open to a little negotiation. We set a time and his colleague came EARLY (imagine that) and was polite. He asked if he should take his shoes off and he immediately went to work on the control panels. He had to hard reset the system and test it out. He explained to me how to arm, disarm, and reset. He also explained a few things that I had no idea about. He gave me a battery that I'd need to buy to replace the sensor batteries in the future. Being a relatively new homeowner in the South Bay, I've had my fair share of both good and bad service providers. CRISP is by far one of the more thorough, professional, quick, and honest ones. If I ever consider a smart home security device, I'll definitely go back to them
