How he was able to place the back speakers on the wall without any visible wires is magic. Recently he did an upgrade of my TV and AudioControl equipment. Cary really knows his stuff and is facile with the software and equipment interfaces. If you need a detail-oriented, experienced pro, give him a call. You won't be disappointed.

I would assign 6 stars if I could. I could not love my home theater system more. Cary & Cheryl and…read moretheir staff (JR) did a fantastic job on transforming a room that was a Den, into a beautiful functioning multi-media room that I could spend all day in. I had a somewhat small room to spare and discussed what I wanted, my budget and AHT was able to take it from there. Worked with accommodating my "must haves", "good to have" and all else. The work was done on time to specs. Their responsiveness was fantastic. Was able to work long distance for some of it. The measurements, finish and attention to detail were meticulous and perfect. The entire project from start to finish can be viewed on the AHT website. My kids who are hard to please were impressed by the finish of the room. It is a good hideout, a respite from which I can tune out the rest of the world and be in another place for a while. The follow up and follow through were prompt and Cary made sure I was pleased with the outcome and only then was he satisfied. I highly recommend AHT for any entertainment needs!

I've passed by this business many times over the years, when it was located at it's former location…read moreon Ala Moana Blvd (across the Gold Bond Bldg), only once stopping inside. As far as I remember, I've always thought of the place as an audio/visual installation company until one day through a chance meeting with the store owner's classmate; he recommended that I check-out "Audio Lab". When I did, boy was I in for a surprise! It was no installation company! The store is owned by Tom Choy, who is a very intelligible and helpful when assisting in making decisions regarding HiFi equipment. This place has it all, from the affordable to the outlandishly expensive. If you have the time, Tom is more than willing to demo any one of the equipment for sale. Note: The location of the store has moved to a little strip-mall just off of Ward Ave. If you're in the market for a new home stereo (including A/V) or just wanted to see some of the best that money can buy, check this place out! Highly recommended!

I went to audio lab because a friend recommended me to go there (I'll bring this back to the…read moreconversation later) For someone new to HIFI Tom was great. He sounded like he knew his stuff, had a lot of equipment and my friend said he was willing to barter. I bought a pair of Martin Logan quests that he had on consignment from a kid. These are 6ft tall Electrostatic speakers that sounded awesome in his shop from 8ft away. I got them home and noticed that they always made a static hum when plugged in. After I spoke with Tom he actually sent the kid who had them in consignment to look at them at my house. The kid literally showed me photos of where he bought them, how he refurbished them and actually showered with the panel's to clean them. Yes he had a video of him in the shower with them... Needless to say, even if the hum could be solved I wanted these things gone since i knew they were a RIP off since the kid bought them for a hundred bucks and tom told me they were a steal for 2500. Tom gave me a junk old sony tower to replace these things until my 8,000 kef order came in. After a month I asked for shipping information and Tom said they were making them in the factory still. Smelling something rotten I told him to give me an email from the manufacturer saying there was a delay in shipment. Then Tom said they were shipped and on the boat. Another month later I asked for the speakers and Tol gave me a story about how there was a shipping error. I told him I know how to ship and the way it works, there was no error you never ordered them. He came clean and said yes, Kef wouldnt send him speakers unless he paid them first and he didnt have money to ship them. I was amazed that Tom didnt use my money to order speakers i.bought. After threatening lawsuits and sending him a convincing demand letter (I am good at making them) he gave me 2 checks to cash 2 weeks apart. Tom is a nice guy but a horrible businessman. He also gave me great NIB speakers that were probably 10 years old and were sitting in a warehouse but he said they were new, 10 year old new speakers are still 10 years old. Back to my friend. I told him the story and he said "sounds like Tom" basically he bought a subwoofer from tom that ended up being completely broken because Tom never even hooked it up. Tom refunded my friend all his money and my friend was smart enough to call the manufacturer to get all the replaced parts for the sub, so basically my friend got a pair (another story) of $2500 subs because Tom is an idiot. Buy his stuff, but DO NOT GIVR HIM MONEY WITHOUT PRODUCT IN HAND

The two Victra stores in Mililani gave me such a hard time I swore I'd never go back. So here we are.. another Victra store. Christopher listened to why we were there and what we wanted to do. He kindly asked for our account information, viewed our accounts, checked promotions then told us our options. Since we were porting a number and getting a new phone, the transaction took awhile. Christopher took his time to explain what was happening and made sure we understood what was going on and what we needed to do. He was always professional, kind and patient!! This experience is total opposite of the service I got in Mililani. I highly recommend you see Christopher at this store. He will take good care of you!!

Their business model is to use very expensive equipment not available to public so no price check is possible. They failed to suggest a backup power solution for blackout and brownouts which has resulted in frequent problematic Wi-Fi outages. When I expressed concerns about some of their work, they were not open to listening to our concerns and I was written off as a client despite what I had paid. Waiting now for over 2 months for them to respond to my requests for support. Extremely disappointing

Quick Summary: Chris is knowledgable and meticulous. He delivered an incredible home theater…read moresystem that our family thoroughly enjoys. If I had to build another system, I would use Chris and Home Theater Solutions Hawaii. Chris came recommended by our contractor who said he would not work with anyone else on a home theater. Our meetings mapped out the specifications for both the system as well as the room construction so they complemented one another. I appreciated being included in the communications so I could understand the impact of the changes on the final design and offer input. What I appreciated most was Chris' expertise in matching the equipment to my budget. While I did a ton of research on speakers and projectors, I lack the practical experience of pairing devices together into a system. Through numerous conversations, Chris was able to understand what I was looking for and tweaked the equipment list accordingly. I started the process looking for an Atmos 9.1 system and am incredibly happy with the 7.2 setup I have now. I also appreciated that he didn't go significantly over-budget and I never felt like he was trying to up-sell anything to me. These systems run the cost gamut so there is always an upgrade to be had. The equipment cost was at the high-end of what I wanted to spend, but the end result completely exceeded my expectations.
