I've been an audio-phile for many years. A couple of weeks ago, I decided update my sound system and get an HD tv. The experience I had at the Modia Home Theater Store in Arlington was second to none.\r
When I entered the store I was immediately impressed with the decor, very up-scale, and the friendly, casual way I was greeted. The salesman was courteous, and patient with my lack of video knowledge. Since my main interest is in good audio gear, that's where we started. Modia carries some very high-end electronics and speakers so this was fun.\r
The salesman took the time to actually listen to what I wanted to accomplish in my home. He is extremely well informed in both the audio and video technologies available today. That can be hard to find in the retail environment, today. Even though he understands all of the new technologies, he explained things to me in plain english without a lot of jargon. He never talked down to me or over my head. He even offered a free in-home consultation so he can make educated recommendations and system design. I will take him up on that offer. I can tell that he really enjoys what he's doing and I look forward to working with him.\r
I am so pleased with how things went at Modia, that I have already recommended them to some of my friends.
Pros: Beautiful store, nice displays, no pressure
Cons: Parking lot access is terrible if the mall is busy. Up to 10 minutes to get in or out !
