Sound Lux review…read more After weeks of research into the world of hifi, I was going round in circles not knowing what system was right for me, the endless options were overwhelming and I just wanted to get it right. I decided to seek out a local audio store and came across Sound Lux. Not knowing it was by appointment only, I rang the buzzer and Eric kindly invited me up to the studio unannounced. Having only just met Eric, he greeted me into the studio like an old friend, and we spent the next hour chatting music, listening to different systems and by the end I had a clear vision of what I wanted and Eric was going to help build it for me. It was exactly what I had been looking for, and all too serendipitous. From then on it just got better and better. Eric and his colleague, Federico, put together a full system spec. and sent over a quote. In a matter of a couple weeks, the system had arrived, and they invited me back to the studio to listen to it. I walked in and they had everything set up, with my own chair to listen and a complimentary drink. I spent the next 1.5 hours by myself listening to the system, getting lost in the sound. It was truly an epic moment. From there Federico took over, he hand delivered the system to my home, set everything up and tuned it to my space. He spent an hour teaching me every control and way to use it. On top of that they gave me a complimentary cleaning brush! The system is my pride and joy, and is by far the greatest investment I've made and a massive part of that is down to genuine care and enthusiasm the guys provided along the way. I'm new to the hifi world and listening to both Eric and Federico's backgrounds in music and their endless passion for it has left me forever inspired to keep learning. I cannot recommend SoundLux more, not just for the service but for the journey they took me on to find the system I now love. Cheers guys!

I was simply astonished by the negative reviews posted about HPStereo, because over the last 18…read moremonths I have purchased over 7 different products, some new, some used, from them and I can report complete satisfaction. I have had all of my questions and transactions handled by the owner Steven, who I have found to be a knowledgeable, forthright, direct, and honest audio dealer. I only wish he'd cut me some dollar slack on the used stuff as he is a tough negotiator on price. All in all, I cannot honestly criticize the manner in which I have been treated, the processing of my transactions, or the products I have received, and I have spent almost $10k there over the last several months. Respectfully submitted, Mark P. Standa; Lake Bluff IL.

I also needed the expertise that a minimum wage employee can't possibly provide. Not only were they able to get what I needed, I paid less than I would have online!

If you are considering expanding beyond your home theater in a box setup to something that actually sounds good, I suggest coming here and talking to people like John (also a fellow Yelper) before plunging the depths of the A/V sea.
