Outstanding Service and Support at Ahead Stereo…read more I purchased my McIntosh turntable from Ahead Stereo and recently ran into an issue with my stylus. I reached out to Brian, and he immediately went above and beyond--contacting McIntosh on my behalf, walking me through the options, and ultimately helping me get back up and running. What stood out most wasn't just the solution, but the care and integrity Brian showed throughout the process. He didn't treat me like just another transaction, he treated me like a valued customer. That kind of support is rare, and it's exactly why I'll keep coming back to Ahead Stereo. If you're into high-end audio and want a dealer who stands by their customers, this is the place. Highly recommend.

Today during my visit to ahead stereo I was looking for an education in creating a future home stereo system, I'm not up to date on all the options, but have a general idea of what I'm trying to achieve. These folks seemed interested in selling me a consultation for a couple hundred dollars rather than trust helping me and winning my trust, it seemed they were concerned if the helped me understand what would be a good solution I would leave the store and buy online. That was not the plan and once I figure out what I'm looking for I'll probably be back to buy local, as I'm a big supporter of that concept. My suggestion in the future is customer comes first, build the trust and loyalty will follow.

I didn't care much…read moreuntil a day when I had to replace a battery in a window sensor and the alarm went off and I didn't know how to disarm it. 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

The venue is state-of-the art, features a 120,000 Watt system, a 64 channel ProTools HD system and a massive video wall. MW Audio ensured that the room would be versatile enough to accommodate music shows, but also video shoots, seminars, showcases, movie screenings etc. I know that MW Audio had designed the YouTube space in Playa Del Rey, as well as rooms for EA Games, Google, Facebook etc, but I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the Yamaha system they installed in Live House! INCREDIBLE! Thumbs up!! :)

Here's a natural Yelp/Google-style review that sounds personal and genuine:…read more 5 Stars I took my speaker to Montebello Speaker Repair because I thought I might have blown it out from singing a little too well. I was running late due to traffic and didn't realize they closed at 5 PM. I called ahead to let them know I'd probably arrive a little after closing, and Mike told me not to worry and that he would wait for me. When I finally got there, Mike tested the speaker and told me there was actually nothing wrong with it. What really impressed me was his honesty. I had already taken it to another place, and their solution was simply to buy a new speaker. Mike could have easily tried to sell me a repair or charge me for his time, but instead he was upfront and said everything checked out fine. To top it off, he didn't even want to charge me for inspecting it. That's the kind of integrity that's hard to find these days. Afterward, we ended up talking about cars and Harleys for a bit, and it was clear he's just a genuinely down-to-earth guy who enjoys helping people. I truly appreciate honest businesses and good people, and Mike is both. If you need speaker repairs or just want someone who will give you a straight answer, I highly recommend Montebello Speaker Repair. Thanks again, Mike!

My wife and I met Randy and both immediately liked him. He sat there on the couch listening while Randy put on an absolute clinic. We learned a lot about turn tables and saw options from 500 to 225000 dollars ...and everything in between. We got to talking about things he had in stock and that's when we came across the VPI HW-40 anniversary. Number 62 of 400. I immediately fell in love. We agreed on a price and I was off with my new rig. I am blown away by how great this thing sounds. A nice benefit of dealing with a pro like Randy is that it was all set up and ready to go. I'm already back in contact discussing phono stage options. Do yourself a favor and check his shop out. You'll be glad you did.

Fast forward to 2018. Randy's kindness and expertise still stuck in my mind, I returned to his Santa Monica shop. This time, I was ready for the whole-enchilada! 5A Carbons, AR amp and pre amp, Basis table. The works. Randy set them up perfectly and I can't thank him enough. Randy and his team are the real deal. Highly recommended.
