I have been looking at ways to get whole house audio into our home for quite some time and had done a lot of research. I have also had friends who have built recently and they were going to put in whole home audio and ended up not doing it because it was expensive and complicated to them.
So, I had been looking at Sonos but I wanted to actually see it work in person. The Sonos site pointed me to Audio Advice in Pineville and I stopped in on my lunch hour. Todd was fantastic to work with and patiently walked me through a number of options I have in retrofitting my older home. We looked at Sonos, speaker options, component pieces. Todd hooked up speakers and components and we moved things around and discussed why some pieces may work better in my particular room configuration than others that I had read about on line. Seeing and hearing the equipment in person is a huge difference than online of course. Todd was exceptionally helpful and patient and knowledgeable in the various product ranges and options. I walked out with a good idea (finally) of what I actually need and that will actually work in my budget and that my wife might actually be able to use.
I have not yet pulled the trigger on the system, but I will be working with Audio Advice on equipment when I start here in the next few months. Their advice really took the fear out of this complicated project and moved it into the realm of actually happening.
