Simply Stereo is a Ten star business. I purchased some pre owned gear here. They set everything up for me in store. Before I left we went over all the settings. Made sure I understood everything. And, answered all my questions. I felt like I spent thousands and was treated like I had. What a great experience.
I’ve purchased several products from Lee at Simply Stereo including high end speakers made by Paradigm (Persona 5F) in Diamond White Metallic and a Lumen T2 streamer. Lee is totally committed to providing the best customer experience with attractive pricing, in-home demos, fair trades, and add-on services you might not even imagine like installing an end point router to wirelessly connect my internet service to my system between rooms.
Came in just asking about something for my dad and was greeted by the most amazing genuine people ever. I’m youngish (and I think clearly don’t have the budget for a lot of the high end stuff in there) but Dave answered all my questions genuinely and even gave me a really awesome tour and demo. He never seemed judgmental and made me feel really comfortable asking any questions I had. I really, truly recommend this place. I’m only going to be buying equipment from here from now on. Loved it. (Edit: I JUST NOW realized I was supposed to call before I showed up. Absolutely shocked they were so kind and welcoming considering I just showed up. It’s nothing like some big name store. 11/10)
I have been purchasing stereo and speakers (mainly Klipsch) from Simply Stereo for over 20 years! Lee helped me with a great price and my decision on purchasing the new Klipsch Forte ivs. Dave spent his time installing it all perfectly and taking time to answer any questions I had. Highly recommend Simply Stereo as I have over the years to others, the prices, service and my new Fortes assured me once again that I made the perfect decision.Thanks again!
Simply Stereo is amazing! Dont waste your time with the chain stores, let Dave and Lee help you design the best system for your space and budget. They are extremely knowledgable and consistently provide an outstanding customer experience.
There are dozens of sound systems and related gear to look over in person. Listening rooms, an assortment of amps and receivers, a great variety that reminds me of Axpona. The people here are honest and answered any questions I had - I appreciate that in this particular industry where perception of quality and subjective opinion on sound can lead to untruthful claims. Great price, great experience, would recommend.
This place is terrific. One feels they are chilling in a friends living room when they visit the store. Each time Ive visited Ive felt welcomed. Clearly Lee and Dave are driven by the satisfaction of their customers above all. No upselling, a genuine interest in the customers opinion, and an overall feeling that you are in it with them as you search for audio wonderfulness. Pricing is fair, competitive and transparent. Why go to a big box store when you can support a small business with its heart in the right place? Check them out. You wont regret it.
Highly knowledgeable staff on all home audio, and video needs. Lee and Dave were able to quickly and accurately answer all of my questions during the evaluation process. Even after purchase they continue to provide excellent guidance and support, and do so in a timely manner!
Slow transformation to the perfect sound studio for picking out sound systems. However what has been done gives you an idea of whats to come.I am far from being an expert on sound systems but this place has you covered. Dave and Lee will take care of your sound system needs.
I cant explain how great this company is. They are a top notch company that knows their stuff. They will go far and beyond any expectations you have of a high end stereo audiophile shop. I will be back! Thank you Lee for all your advice and help!
I have been to simply stereo when it was located on Higgins and they always provided knowledgeable and exceptional customer service. When I heard they moved I was interested to see the new location and look into purchasing a new piece of equipment. I was given expert advice and explained that given my current system I would not benefit with the piece of equipment I was looking for. I just saved money. I would highly recommend simply stereo and I would not hesitate returning for a future purchase. Thank you for your help.
Dave was seriously helpful when I came in. The environment is very relaxed and is a perfect place to audition gear. As I was auditioning one pair of speakers Dave kept bringing others to try, actively searching for the right speaker for me. Cannot recommend Simply Stereo enough, outstanding service.
Excellent service and expertise. The store layout is very unique and I had a great time exploring and looking at the wide array of products. I was looking for a pair of studio monitor speakers and found exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend this place to anybody and will probably be visiting again soon!
I love this place, the people working here are absolutely top notch. I stopped in here a few weeks ago with lots of questions and they were able to answer everything. Simply Stereo has the best customer service, not only for audio but for a store in general. I cant say enough good things, very knowledgeable, helpful, and they know their stuff! Definitely not pushy salesmen type people, encourage people to spend whats in their budget on the equipment that will make the most impact to accomplish what they want and not try to sell you a $1200 speaker cable with good margins. Highly recommend this place!
If you’re looking for someone who will give you some honest answers and advice and cares about what matters to you by listening to you then this is the place. Before you buy, you can take the equipment home and listen to it where it’ll be used which makes all the difference in the world. Best of all, the pricing is great as well, and they’re just down the street to take care of you.Dave and Lee are good guys, it’s fun to just stop by and see what’s new and say hi. These guys know their stuff, if you’re looking for some gear this is where you want to go.
Wow. Talk about service. I worked with Rod and Dave on my project and was blown away by the attention to detail and willingness to go outside the box. Admittedly, their billing is a bit old-fashioned - based on trust and handshakes, but that stuff works for me. Good people. Will definitely return and send friends no matter the distance!
Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Willing to help you no matter your budget or time window. Very happy with my purchases from them and will continue to go there every time in the future. Forget the big box stores, Simply Stereo is the best and makes you feel at home.
Amazing service by Dave, super helpful answering all our questions, definitely went above and beyond. Very happy to have purchased our speakers here. Will definitely come back. Thank you Simply Stereo.
I have dealt with Dave on several occasions both for an extensive installation and questions I have had regarding technical issues and problems I have encountered. He is incredibly knowledgeable and persistent in his efforts to resolve any issues I have encountered. His professional demeanor and dedication is immediately obvious. I would highly recommend Simply Stereo to anyone looking for quality equipment and service.
Lee and David took great care of me. First and foremost they were very friendly and very attentive to my needs and wants. They were willing to help me work within my budget. I could say much more but thatd be too much to write.I will be a customer for decades to comeThanks Lee and David
Ive been in this audio hobby for few decades and never met anyone so helpful and concerned about my business. Dave even offered me help with equipment I purchased years ago and from other dealer(s). Can we find that kind of help anywhere? I doubt. Sorry guys but I can give you only 5 stars. You deserve many more. Happy listening everybody.
The place was awesome!!! Id rate them a 10++++++.
Amazing service and value. The team here listen to your needs and work hard to satisfy you. They have a wide range of great brands, they offer cables and custom cut speaker wire thats super affordable by the way. Really great place worth visiting and experiencing all that they can offer for anyones budget.
Hello all, Owner of abby auto next door. Bought some speakers from next door. Speakers are awesome come check this place out. Forget big box stores and amazon. Thanks guys.
Great people, fine gear, zero attitude. I was just passing through Chicago and stopped in to visit, mentioned up front I was just passing through... and still was treated well and had a good listen and discussion. I would go out of my way to buy from them.
A must visit! Free install on cartridge. There really is more than 2 screws...let them do it right. Knows their stuff and not out to rip you off.
This is where my audio jurney started. Lee is excellent, very knowledgeable and patient. I would highly recommend SimplyStereo to anyone looking to upgrade or build new system. *****
Outstanding and highly recommended! There is nothing like experiencing in-person, the sound of quality audio from the experienced staff here.I had an excellent experience with Ken, who is straightforward, honest, and very knowledgeable. I originally ended up with an outstanding pair of speakers that substantially exceeded my expectations, and now I have 2 pair. This store, Ken, and the owner (Rod), and Dave have a ton of experience and really help the customer to get what he or she needs without any of the used-car salesman feel. A rare instance of old fashioned excellent service and knowledge (and I am young)...I have bought two pairs of speakers and a subwoofer, and I am very happy with my purchases and their straightforward good service.
I cant say enough good things about Simply Stereo and the staff there. Ive been working with Lee for the last couple weeks to get exactly the right stereo for my home. Hes gone beyond the norm in every respect: always friendly, patient, super knowledgeable, and happy to let me demo things in my home before making a decision. Whether youre looking to spend serious money on a home theater or put together a more modest stereo system like me, theres no one I would recommend above Simply Stereo.
Dont let the unassuming storefront fool you. This place is the real deal and Rob, Dave and Lee are great at what they do. All around professionals who know what they are talking about and have been in the business a long time. They listen to what you are looking for and ask questions and ultimately you will end up with exactly what you wanted. Highest recommendation possible.
Have always been my favorite place. Have spent a lot of time and money at this place. People here are amazing and love talking to them. This is a gem of a place and have known them for more than a decade. I always recommend them to my friends.
Very knowledgeable staff. Great selection of products. Also, these guys are more than willing to let you demo equipment for extended times.
I drove 45 min to demo some speakers at Simply Stereo. These guys are the real deal. It was nice to find a shop that is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, fantastic prices, speakers for any budget, and know how to let you demo speakers.Well done.... and thank you.
Rod and his team provide absolutely the best customer service and their selection of speakers and equipment are better than youll find anywhere else. Having traveled around and listened to a number of other speakers, I was blown away by the Klipsch RF-7 II. Rod and his team installed a whole new home theatre setup for me and I couldnt be more pleased. Ill keep going to them again and again for my AV needs.
Fantastic people to deal with. Very high praise for this place. I had extremely positive experiences with Lee, Ken, Dave, and Rod.
Rod is a great guy who is extremely knowledgeable in stereo/home theater design and installations. I highly recommend Simply Stereo over the big chain type stores. His customer service is 2nd to none and his advice is always spot on. A+
Classic family owed A/V shop. Top notch knowledge & service. Great selection of both new and demo / pre-owned gear.
This place is awesome, they have some nice stuff and friendly staff. Lee is awesome, thanks.
Lee, June and everyone over at Simply Stereo are extremely attentive and provide great service. Lee has a wealth of knowledge about the equipment they sell and audio in general.
Great customer service and knowledgeable guys. I dealt with Lee and Rod, they are both awesome!
Got a long run of cables and these guys did a great job with customer service. Thank you!
Ignored request to email detailed store return/exchange/refund policies. Wanted to go brick&mortar, but this is 2nd place that didnt provide basic, and important, information requested. Looks like Amazon after all.
Amazing place and people. Very helpful. Very high end.
The last of the high-end audio stores.
Awesome store, great service, and extremely helpful staff.
Fantastic service very helpful
Its unfortunate stores like these are going out of business to the big box stores where the employees dont know the difference between HDMI and component, but I digress.I bought a ton of speaker equipment from Simply Stereo and they worked with me for about a month while I tried different speakers, amps, pre pros etc. They let me try things out at home and if I liked them great Id pay for it, or if not try something else. What big box offers that?!I ended up purchasing all paradigm/Anthem products for my HT:3 x Paradigm Reference 100s v5s for LCR2 x Paradigm Reference ADP-590 v5 for Surrounds1 x Paradigm Reference 10s v5 for Rears1 x Anthem AVM50v Pre Pro1 x Anthem MCA50 Power Amp for surrounds and rears1 x Anthem MCA30 Power Amp for LCRI hope they stay in business - great service, prices and very knowledgeable staff.
This place is the best!
Absolutely the best customer service on the planet !!!!!
These guys are great. I purchased a mixture of pre-owned and new equipment for my home theater. They are super genuine and truly interested in helping you get what you are looking for. No pressure or up-selling whatsoever. I highly recommend.
