Hey music lovers! This is Jim Lee, and after decades of bringing the most incredible audio experiences to our community, I’m doing something I’ve never done before, a Black Friday sale at Nuts About Hi-Fi. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Jim, you never have storewide sales!” And you’re right. But this year, I thought, why not spread a little holiday joy and give our amazing clients a chance to upgrade their home audio and video systems?
We’ll be open our normal hours on Friday, November 29th, from 9-5, with some sweet deals across our entire showroom. If you love music and remarkable sound like I do, swing by and see what we’ve got. No pressure, just great gear, and maybe we can chat about your favorite albums while you check out what’s on offer. Can’t wait to see you!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of helping dial in a truly beautiful-sounding A/V system for two of our favorite clients. We recently upgraded their speaker system to include Focal Sopra No.3s along with Focal’s matching Sopra center speaker and a beautiful pair of Focal Dome surround speakers.
Both Dean and Pat have great taste and really love both movies and music. This system needed to seamlessly transition between several formats of cinematic surround sound and believable, live-concert-level stereo performance when listening to music.
In addition, we helped them create two other zones of music for their patio and backyard using Focal outdoor speakers and subwoofers. We incorporated the updated Marantz Cinema 40, which was designed perfectly for complicated tasks such as these.
They have a very large open space with high ceilings, which normally can be acoustically challenging, especially for bass, so we brought in a true champion: JL Audio’s Fathom 113.
And now the truly challenging part… Making all of these systems and formats easy to use.
Eli and Michael came to the rescue, programming the Universal remote system. After perfectly placing and spiking the main speakers, dialing in the exact parameters for the listening positions, and placing Nordost Sort Kones underneath the Marantz Cinema 40, the system really came to life.
I looked over at Dean during final testing. With a big smile he said, “This is better than going to the movies or a live concert.”
Mission accomplished!
Thank you, Dean and Pat. We appreciate you letting us take care of you. Can’t wait for the next upgrade adventure. I am sure you won’t be surprised, but I actually have a few more ideas.
Yesterday Eli and I had the pleasure of helping one of our good clients install a beautiful pair of our Focal Maestro Utopia speakers along with his McIntosh Integrated amp.
The presentation of sound was beautiful.
We then decided to experiment with Nordost Sort Kones underneath his McIntosh. As usual the Sort Kones immediately transformed the music, rendering more details impossible to hear without them. So much fun.
Here, in a couple of weeks we are installing a beautiful home theater for this gentleman using all Focal Utopia speakers along with reference Marantz Components.
It is so good having customers with excellent taste.
Ever wonder why your high-end system doesn’t deliver the musical experience you know it’s capable of? The answer might be right under your nose– and vibrating under your components! Read “The Importance of Vibration Control” to discover.
Today I had the pleasure of finishing an upgrade for a long term friend and customer. We replaced a beautiful pair of Apogee on-wall speakers he purchased and had us install almost 20 years ago.
Paul has always been an aficionado of many forms of art which definitely includes music. He frequents the Seattle symphony and knows how it feels to enjoy the “live experience.”
Paul and I sat down two Saturdays ago at our showroom and listened to one of his favorite operas through one of my favorite speakers, the Focal Sopra NO. 3. He was immediately struck by the experience. Amazed by the believable presence of a full size orchestra seemingly in front of us, he decided he must have this experience at home and, as of about an hour ago, he does.
Thank you Paul for your support of our business, and your fine taste in true artistic excellence.
