Audio Components

We have several major brands of amplifiers, receivers, preamps and processors on display in our Raleigh Showroom including Stereo amps, Home Theater amps and Multi-zone amps.

Finding the Right Receiver

eceivers are basically a preamp, audio switcher, video switcher, digital audio converter, an AM / FM tuner and amplifiers all built onto one chassis. Some receivers have video processing, HD radio tuner, internet and network audio capabilities and several control options already built-in. Selecting the right receiver can be a particularly daunting task. They need to be matched to your other components from technical design perspective. Many receivers feature built in calibration software. It is better than nothing, but we have found that even the best ones need to be tweaked for maximum performance. This software can not correct flaws that should have been addressed in the design stage. Hearing is believing! Visit our showroom to compare several different, professionally calibrated receivers with complimenting speakers and video displays.

Finding the Right Amplifier

Amplifiers seem to be something people reduce down to watts. There are many, many more qualities to consider when shopping for an amp. Would you buy a car based solely on horsepower? There are several types of amps and each type has its pros and cons. Matching the other components and speakers is also very important. The problem with buying the wrong amp is that it will still work, but you will never know how much performance you left on the table.
