4th of July

We hope you all have a happy and safe Independence Day. Nuts About Hi-Fi will be closed Saturday, July 4th so our staff can enjoy the holiday with their families.

Good Food, Great Sound: Char Kitchen Opens on the Waterfront

This past Saturday, the team from Nuts About Hi-Fi attended the soft opening of Char Kitchen Restaurant and Bar. Over the past year, we had the pleasure of installing 16 large flat-screen monitors, dozens of Focal speakers and subwoofers, 16 amplifiers, and a robust network system, all managed by a Control4 system.

This new waterfront venue offers an incredible view and is truly a local jewel. The food and drinks were delicious, and the service was excellent. Owners Chuck and Cassie Huck are wonderful people, and I highly recommend visiting their new space. The food was outstanding, and be sure to save room for dessert.

Caution: High-Quality Music May Cause Uncontrollable Smiling

We recently commissioned Cory, our favorite local artist, to create a cautionary sign for our listening room.

Cory specializes in acoustically friendly artwork for home entertainment rooms and often works with our clients. If you are interested in a piece featuring your favorite musical performer or actor, Cory is highly recommended.

A Special Visitor: Jazz Pianist Francesco Crosara

This week, we had a very special visitor grace our showroom: Mr. Francesco Crosara. My wife, Angela, and I first met Francesco a few weeks ago at a fundraiser for the Music Discovery Center. He and I talked music and I invited him into our showroom to listen to his most recent CD release. Francesco was so taken by the sound in our listening room he ended up buying a beautiful pair of Focal speakers and Marantz turntable for his listening room.

I was was pretty taken myself. I was surprised by not only the technical quality of the recording, but the music is incredible. Francesco, if you haven’t heard him, is one of the best jazz pianists/composers of our time and just happens to live in our area.

We will soon have this recording available in our store for sale. All proceeds from its sale will be generously donated to the Music Discovery Center, which is dedicated to helping kids who lack the means to acquire musical instruments, providing them with essential support in learning to play and compose.

This foundation is a great group of folks who donate their time and energy to this cause and we at Nuts About Hi-Fi are honored to help.
