VerifiedThis guy was supposed to build me a set of custom speakers. He said it would take about a week. 3.5 weeks later. Still no speakers and now he wants more money for less watts. No thanks. I do not recommend this business.

I sold some speakers to the owner but had to check out the shop. A lot of vintage items are available for sale.

Really cool to have a place like this in town. I’m a beginner audiophile at best so I’m sure some of Todd’s stock is lost on me, but even I could tell how cool some of his vintage gear was. Todd was able to hook me up with a custom built 4.1 system for like $150 that will kick the crap outta anything you can buy for 4x that cost. If you’re looking for speakers, gear, or repairs, check out Boombox

Amazing service. Very knowledgeable and one of the only places left in town to get true vintage sound equipment. Highly recommend!

This is the coolest place Ive been in my life. Passed it 100 times on my route, figured it was just a pawn shop by the looks of it, but I was greeted by a tech genius and found a treasure trove of the coolest bits of analog kit Ive only dreamed of owning. I was nerding out so bad lol I will return on payday.

This is a family owned company and are such great people! They will take really good care of you. They stand behind their stereo equipment. My 12 year old son went there with his grandma and they went above and beyond to help them. Support local. Especially these guys.
