The Hands Behind The Work
Every install. Jeff personally.
Jeff has been calibrating Bay Area rooms since 1993 -- THX-certified, Dolby-trained, and obsessive about the last 2 dB. He shows up, he stays late, and he doesn't hand the measurement mic to anyone else.
No project managers, no junior techs, no sales reps between you and the work. The man tuning your front stage is the same man you called.
Field Notes
What the rooms sound like to the people in them.
Jeff is as good as it gets: always on time, leaves the place spotless, and the sound is absolutely unreal.
Napa Valley Client
Dolby Atmos Home Theater
The multi-room audio system Jeff installed is incredible. Music follows us from the kitchen to the patio seamlessly.
Marin County Client
Whole-Home Audio System
Transformed our family room into a legit theater. The kids refuse to go to the movies now because our setup is better.

As a musician, I'm extremely particular about sound. Jeff nailed it. The listening room is reference quality.
