Detailed information about new products we offer:

Acoustic Treatments- Echobusters. Home theater and music listening is as important as ever, but not everyone has an acoustically ideal room. The room can make more difference in resulting sound than any other component. With an accurate sketch, we can come up with a complete acoustic treatment design to ensure you get the most from your system.

Amplifiers (Integrated Amps, Power Amps, Preamplifiers, and Receivers)- Arcam, Denon, Elan, Krell, Marantz, Music Hall, Musical Fidelity, NAD, Niles, Rotel, Shanling, Sunfire. The backbone of any audio/video system is amplification. A basic power amp has the job of driving the speakers, while an integrated amp adds volume control, source selection, and tone and/or recording capabilities. With a receiver there is a radio tuner included as well. The decision to go solid-state or tube, integrated or separate, surround or stereo, are only a few of the important options to consider. Our sales staff can help you select the right amplifier for your system.

CD/CDR/Music Server- Arcam, Escient, Elan, Marantz, Music Hall, Musical Fidelity, NAD, Rotel, Shanling. There has been a major shift in the way people listen to music with the advent of portable devices like the iPod. However, for those who still desire the best sound, we offer high quality CD players. And, if you require easy access to 100s of CDs, we sell music servers that will hold 1000s of hours of music. The units can store the music in a format that is completely lossless. In addition, these components offer a digital output or high quality analog outputs to give you terrific sound from a stereo or surround system.

Cables- Audioquest, Leading Edge, Monster Cable, Revelation Audio. Better expensive cables offer superior construction and can make an audible and visual difference. We have virtually every cable your system may need and custom cables in varying lengths can be made or ordered. Don't sell your system short!

DVD/DVDR- Arcam, Denon, Marantz, NAD, Rotel. Quality starts at the source and improvements as you move to higher end players include better audio, better video, better build quality, and more features. In addition to playing DVD videos and audio CDs, some oplayers offer the ability to play higher end multichannel audio formats like DVD-A and SACD. We can help you select the best player to suit your needs.

Furniture/Equipment Racks/Speaker Stands- AVDeco, BDI, Bell'O, Billy Bags, B&W, Gallo, Lovan, Middle Atlantic, Premier, Salamander, Schroers & Schroers. A good home for your equipment is not only nice looking, but can increase longevity and make sure your equipment performs its best. Many styles are available and usually arrive within 2-10 days time.

Headphones/Headphone Amps- Bellari, Grado, Musical Fidelity, Sennheiser Wireless. For some people, loudspeakers are not an option. And for others, the fact that the quality that can be obtained with a few hundred dollar set of headphones can rival speakers costing thousands of dollars, makes headphones the best choice. Another reason to join the headphone crowd is the option of listening to TV late at night without disturbing a significant other--without wires. Some amplifiers today offer Dolby Surround specially for headphones and with the proliferance of portable audio, good headphones are an easy upgrade. For the more serious listeners, we sell dedicated headphone amplifiers from Musical Fidelity, Creek, Grado, and Bellari.

Mini Systems- Arcam, Cambridge Soundworks, Denon, Linn, NAD, Rotel. If you have limited space a mini system may be a good solution. Our mini systems are high quality small-size or integrated components that offer an elevated level of performance. Many will go head to head with separate components.

Power/Line Conditioners- Elan, Monster Power, Panamax, Rotel. No system is complete without the addition of a power conditioner. Not only do they provide protection from harmful surges, outtages, and flucuations in line voltage, but they filter the incoming AC to all your components improving both picture and sound quality.

Projection Screens/Motorized Shades- Stewart Filmscreen. If you've ever been to a movie, then you're already familiar with Stewart. They make projection screens for most of the major theaters in the country. In a projection system, the screen is an extremely important component that can make or break the quality of the image. To improve performance in these systems, light control is equally important, and motorized shades are the most effective way to make it happen.

Radio/Tuner- Arcam, Cambridge Soundworks, Marantz, NAD, Rotel. The only true "free" music still available comes via radio. Whether your interests lean towards jazz, classical, pop, or easy listening, in Los Angeles there is a station for you. The better tuners will make listening to these stations a lot more enjoyable. And if you want to explore XM, Sirius, or HD, there is (or soon will be) a tuner to handle your needs.

Remote Controls/Touch Panels/Home Automation- Crestron, Elan, Harmony, Marantz, Niles, Universal Remote Control. An integrated remote control can make or break an A/V system. All the models we offer can combine the functions of multiple remotes and key-presses and simplify operation down to the push of a single button. With little or no training even a techno-idiot can operate a complex system. On-wall touch panels can offer individual room control and a high level of customization. Not only can you control audio and video, but with systems by Elan and Crestron, control of lights, HVAC, drapes or shades, and even security is at your fingertips. A multi-room system means sound and/or video in any room of your house can be a reality and control of it is as simple as turning on the lights.

Satellite/DVR- DirecTV, Dish Network. There is no way to get a bigger variety of programming currently available than with satellite television. HD content onis increasing more and more everyday. With the newest model receivers you can record in HD while watching another program at the same time!

Speakers (In-Wall, In-Ceiling, Mounted, Box, Outdoor, Rock, Home Theater, Subwoofers, Etc.)- B&W, Blueroom, Definitive Technology, Epos, Gallo Acoustics, Monitor Audio, Niles, Paradigm, Sunfire. Speakers can be the most daunting part of an A/V system purchase--there are so many shapes, sizes, prices, and brands. The speakers are the last link in the audio chain, so their selection is often thought to be the most important. In fact, as the old adage goes...A system is only as good as its weakest link. Our sales associates work from a "systems" approach and pay particular attention to what works well as an entire package rather stressing individual elements. Whether you need a surround speaker set, multi-room sound, or even a stereo set, our offerings are vast and include models from $200/pr to over $100,000 for a complete surround system.

Tape Recorders- Denon. The cassette market has been dwindling since CD recorders became affordable. Although some people still have cassette players in the car, most are buying their last machine to play back self-recorded tapes that are irreplaceable. Denon offers both a dual deck for dubbing or a single deck for recording/playback.

Televisions (Direct View, Front & Rear Projection, and Flat Panel Monitors including Plasma and LCD)- Fujitsu, Marantz, RCA Scenium, Samsung, Sharp, Toshiba. If all those acronyms are starting to get a little confusing (LCOS, DLP, HDMI, 1080i, CRT, LCD, 480p, DILA, etc.), we can make it simple. Taking into account room size and seating distance, physical appearance of the set and placement options, viewing habits and budget, we can help you select the best technology and screen for your application.

Turntables/Phono Preamplifiers/Phono Cartridges- Audio Technica, Bellari, Benz, Clearaudio, Grado, Music Hall, Musical Fidelity, NAD, Rega, Rotel. In the last few years there has been a resurgence in vinyl playback. Although the quantity of new records may never equal that of the CD, there are so many great reissues and original issues floating around that its hard not to jump on the bandwagon. We have complete turntables starting at as little as $350, so talk to one of our vinyl experts and we can either help you get started with your first system or suggest ways to improve your existing system.

VCRs (S-VHS/VHS/D-VHS)- JVC. Recordable DVD and DVRs are slowly but surely working to eliminate the need for a VCR. Like cassettes, some people may still have a prerecorded tape collection or some recorded tapes that can not be replaced. Rather than purchase a throw-away product for $29, consider purchasing a high quality machine for a fraction of what it would have cost 5 years ago. Not only does it provide superior picture and sound, a better built-in tuner, but also integrates well with the system remote. For those looking for the best consumer recording format currently available, investigate a D-VHS machine. It will play back D-Theater High Definition tapes as well as record in High Definition. Picture quality is superior to HD satellite broadcasts.

Video Processors. DVDO, Faroudja, Lumagen. We offer ground-breaking value products from DVDO as well as statement pieces from Faroudja and Lumagen.
