Champaign is so fortunate to have a store like this! Great products, great people and great service. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend to anyone who appreciates quality! read more

I've been in the store a couple of times to look around and was impressed with how much product they have. Then just before Christmas decided I wanted to get some high quality hifi equipment and Geoff and Ryan spent almost a whole Saturday with me auditioning different set ups until I found something that way exceeded my expectations in performance. These guys really know what they are talking about and don't just sell you the most expensive stuff they have. In fact they helped me find a pair of speakers that eventually I traded in for something 3 times the cost. We are so lucky to have such a place in our area. read more

Jeff Poor checked styluses for a Dual turntable and a B&O table at no charge. Had a great time discussing music and listening to different audio equipment. This store is one of a kind in the Champaign, IL area. I have purchased speakers, receivers, and turntables from Glen Poor's Audio since the 80's. Always a great place to shop for high end audio and visual equipment. Thanks a again Jeff for all of your time and help today. read more

The sales staff really know their equipment, and they are generally not stuffy despite the expensive gear which surely draws an upper-elchelon clientele. They are happy to recommend the optimal system for your budget, and if it takes a few passes to make a decision, ok! It's kind of like buying a BMW. They also do occasional demo sales - a great opportunity. You really do not have to get your stereo stuff from Best Buy. Even if you don't fall into the audiophile category, you'll notice the difference in sound when you start comparing. read more

This is an amazing store. We went in on a Saturday afternoon with a problem with our turntable. It had been a gift that was not bought at their store. The friendly and knowledgeable staff solved our issue and did not push us to buy anything. They did let us peruse the store and we were very impressed with the audio-video equipment available in many price ranges. When we are in the market for new equipment, we will definitely be returning and we would recommend Glenn Poor's Audio-Video to anyone. read more

I visited Glenn Poor's Audio back in 1982, and that was my first introduction into the world of hi-end audio. I have been hooked ever since! Geoff and those that worked there were and still are absolutely the most down to earth folks that I have met. At the time, I had little money to spend on music and hi-fi, but with the guidance of a very good staff, I was able to purchase my first set of great little speakers, the Sequerra Met-7. It worked well for my small listening environment at the time. A couple of years later, I traded in the Sequerra's for a pair of Magnepan MG-1's. What a speaker! The years have passed and so has a bit of equipment, but I am still a Magnepan owner to this day. The main thing with this bit of history is not so much about the equipment though, as it is about the music and the people. Glenn Poor's has helped me to have a better enjoyment of the music that I listen to, and that is what it is all about to begin with. The folks there do not care if you are going to spend hundreds, or many thousands, they just want you to be satisfied with your purchase, and to make sure it serves the music well. In this day of over-hyped junk, and the big-box movers and shakers, it is refreshing to come back to town every now and then and visit the folks here. I haven't purchased anything from them in years, but the moment I come in, I am treated with respect, and just the same as the guy who is always in the store buying loads of gear. The people? All I can say is that the staff is always friendly and committed to the customer. Whether you are just coming in to browse, ask a question or two, listen to some music, they are always friendly and very helpful. Great staff, great equipment, what more can you ask for? It has been a long while since I have purchased anymore equipment, but when the time comes, I will be going back to Glenn Poor's. I recommend them highly! Tim read more

I don't tend to sit down and write reviews very often, but when I do, it's because I've come to develop a high satisfaction of a product or business that becomes a devotion that I would like to share with others. In this case, it's both. The audio and video system has major importance in our home and we've always striven to have the best that we could afford within our budget. That means not wasting money on items that don't work out or that don't have longevity. I have dealt with Glenn Poor's for many years now and Geoff Poor has helped me develop a system that is just unbelievable. I drive 3 hours from my home because Geoff Poor is the most knowledgeable and trustworthy person I know in the field. His store carries a huge variety of products to audition and he's passionate about showing them. I would drive 12 hours if I had to. Even though I have limited funds for audio video purchases, I've always been treated, as a valued customer, never hurried, never dismissed. That said, Geoff would not just tell you what you want to hear, he just tells you the way it is and what really works. Sometimes skeptical, I've come to have faith in Geoff's recommendations. I really didn't think a different amplifier from the one that I owned could make that much difference in my system to warrant spending the money. Boy was I wrong! My recent purchase of a BAT amplifier recommended by Geoff to be the perfect match for my speakers has put my system on a level that I didn't think was possible. I really can't find words to tell you how happy I am, so thus the attempt to right this review. Maybe more important the wife approves as well. I can tell you this, it doesn't matter how much you have available to spend, because whatever it is you will get better quality, and more long-term satisfaction from it than anywhere else you might make a purchase. That includes going to big box stores for a bargain. Once again, I write this because of the extreme satisfaction of product and service that has been my experience at Glenn Poor's over many years. It is great having a go to place for something that is so important to our household. Thank you Geoff and Glenn Poor's, Ken L. read more
