I first purchased a stereo receiver, a record player, and two bookshelf speakers here in 2022. In 2023, I added two tower speakers, a center channel, and a bigger AVR for a 5.1 home theatre that doubled as a stereo music room. Aaron was beyond helpful for the entire 1 1/2 year journey. I came in knowing very little about hi-fi and sound in general. He was extremely patient with my questions and answered all of them. He also pointed me in the right directions whenever I was confused (which was often). Having him as a resource to clarify anything I read online was invaluable. I plan to return here first whenever I need future gear.

The Guys @ Ahead Stereo are all awesome shoutout to Brian. I have grew up loving home audio at the beginner hifi level. Now that I am an adult it was time for me to invest and so I did. Pix on the way ?

Can I give them 6 stars ? I purchased a home stereo system at Ahead Stereo about three or four years ago. I met with Aaron just to ask a few preliminary questions. he is super knowledgeable, like everyone at Ahead Stereo, but understood my level of expertise and was able bring it up a few notches. I love the system I bought there. Every time I have a question setting it up, Aaron emails be exact drawings of what goes where. In the last few years I've purchased a few more items from Aaron and no matter what questions I ask, they are answered completely regardless whether I'm ready to purchase something or looking for advice. His diagrams are awesome. I recently learned a local big box store carries some of the same brands as Ahead, but you will NEVER get the help you will want and need there. Do yourself a favor, stop in to Ahead Stereo and listen to some of the best audio gear available.

Ahead Stereo has great product lines. However, without any assemblance of a listening room, it's impossible to hear what the product's sounds like.

I've been driving past this store for 20 + years while shopping for Audio equipment online. Moving to high end equipment (KEF speakers and Audioquest cables) in 2021, I decided to support this local retailer instead, which has already saved me a couple of thousands. Added bonus, you get someone (Aaron) to ask all the annoying questions like "is there a difference between a braided and PVC cable?". Very happy with this new relationship so far but be aware that this store is brand specifics so call AHEAD of any visit (pun intended).

Brought my Rega P3 turntable in for service and upgrades to the belt and cartridge. Also got a new phono preamp. Aaron and Brian have been doing this for years and they set me up with precision...and courteous answers to my questions.

So so rude. They will size you up and never offer you a listen. The sales guy with no questions to me decided I need 8 k Macintosh amp. But never offered me a listen. So I asked why a Mac an he literally said, “ I don’t know.Please pass on this place.

Review is subject to change pending outcome of Amazon inquiry. I purchased an item from Ahead that did not have the functions I needed. They are not wanting to allow me to return the item even though I offered to pay shipping and a restocking fee. I will update this review regularly to be sure it stays relevant, either good or bad.

Unfriendly environment and the salesmen seemed like they were not eager or interested in helping find a suitable system within our budget.

I bought my first pair of speakers at Ahead Stereo in 1981, and my most recent pair 38 years later. Ahead is still the best stereo store I've ever visited; a great selection of high-performance audio gear in a wide range of prices, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and very comfortable surroundings for listening. Ahead also carries a selection of high-quality used stereo equipment, which can be a real bargain. In all, a great experience for 38 years!

It is often said that the owners and employees of high-end audio and video equipment stores are pretentious, snobby and self-righteous. I can honestly say that that is most certainly NOT the case with Ahead Stereo and its staff. Yes, it is a high-end store but Phil and the other employee who assisted me (whose name I can't remember) where as helpful and as pleasant to deal with as could be. Ahead Stereo has been in business at this location since the 1970s...and it is easy to see why.
