I was looking for a specific audio system and drove from Redwood City to San Francisco to go to Audio Vision. They are really the only game in town for what I wanted. Almost no where else you can go and listen to the actual equipment that you want to buy and try different things. They are quite open to providing you with whatever time and services you need at the store to make sure that you get the system you like.
Audio Vision provides personalized service, which is unique in the industry. My experience working with Randy has been great. He recommended the installation company that is going to install the system that I bought. Audio Vision's excellent recommendations and expertise are definitely a big benefit to using their service. I am new to high-end audio, and having a coach like Randy was really good for me. He was very patient...I think he spent 3 or 4 hours with me the first time I went in.
The best thing about Audio Vision is the range of equipment that they carry and the fact that they have it at the store for you to listen to. If you are going to spend a good amount of money on audio equipment, I think it is really important to be able to listen to the system for a long time before buying it.
