  • I had such an amazing visit to our friends ‪@AudioAdvice‬. In this video, I share what their showroom looks like in Raleigh, North Carolina with CEO Scott Newnam as our tour guide. Imagine actually demoing audio gear at a properly set up store? The amount of passion that I saw from everyone involved was intoxicating. Enjoying a great demo experience, getting top notch customer support and service. That's what this is all about!

    Beautiful space. In the eighties there were at least two of these hands on stores in every mall in Ma. I never bought a piece of equipment back in the day that I didn't see and hear first.Hope Audio advice starts a fever that spreads and these hands on spaces return.

    Great partnership guys--the best audio educator in Gene and the best home theater and audio retailer in Audio Advice. Keep doing more stuff together. You all are what makes all of us enthusiasts keep coming back and enjoying this space and our systems. Both of your companies are class acts! Great job.

    I used to frequent this store in the late 90's early 2000's when I was in college at NC State just to listen to the new stuff. I purchased my first full B&W 6 series system from them after I graduated but was able to save up for a Mirage center channel to go with my budget 5 channel system that I rocked at Bragaw Hall on campus, lol. Still have the salamander stand, all of the speaker cables & interconnects, marantz 5015 AVR receiver and BW 6's/ASW600 except I just upgraded the towers to CM10's. Great folks to work with. When I upgrade my receiver I plan to get it from Audio Advice.

    I love this store! Bought a couple pairs of headphones and a phono cartridge over the last several years. They were really nice to set up a speaker demo for me too! Didn’t buy at the time, but if and when I can afford a pair of the Motion XT floorstsnders, it will come from these guys.

    I bought my theater system from audio advice early last year thanks to your channel. I live in Greensboro NC and was able to drive there and take a look at everything while there. When you were taking a tour in the repair room I was looking for my subwoofer, I had to take it back because the amplifier went out (Klipsch SPL 150) still under warranty. Since Klipsch has the new line of subwoofers maybe they'll send me one since the model I have is discontinued. Nice video, I love audio advice and will be going back soon.

Keep it up.

    We need a place like Audio Advice in South Florida. There used to be an audio store near me called Sound Advice, but it closed down due to lack of business. The only other decent sized HiFi place is in West Palm. The guy is sort of arrogant so I don't like going there.
