What best describes your relationship with audio equipment?
I love great sound but prefer simple, complete solutions
How did you first discover Hi-Fi Centre?
Recommendation from friend/colleague
What was your situation before purchasing from us?
My previous setup was a humble LG 5.1 home theatre system from roughly the 2005/6 era and it was also a handmedown from my mom. I rocked that thing into the ground but when my passion for music grew i knew i needed a system that was more capable. Every song sounded the same on that set of speakers, I knew exactly how the subwoofer would try its best and how the tweeters would produce nothing of clarity over 5khz.
What specific product(s) did you purchase from Hi-Fi Centre?
Naim Uniti Atom, Focal Chorus 726, JL Dominion sub 8"
What was the main reason you chose Hi-Fi Centre over other retailers?
Reputation/reviews, Expert advice/consultation, Product selection, Canadian retailer
Describe your shopping experience with us
Honestly it was a while since I've been in the store so I'll try to remember. Ivan? I think his name was was the last person to help me with my subwoofer purchase, he let me try it out with a bunch of different media options and was very accommodating.
How has your new audio setup changed your daily life?
My daily life is different because instead of watching something on YouTube to start my day, I listen to music. No screens. I sit with my coffee and listen. I used to have friends over and the music was always on in the background while we cooked or played games but now we often just sit on the couch and play albums, our curiosity takes over and we search up things, track down samples and hunt for specific songs we need to hear.
What's your favourite thing about your new system?
The fact that it brings me closer to my wife and friends. We spend more quality time together listening rather than watching. As an audio person I value that immensely.
Would you recommend Hi-Fi Centre to others? Why?
I do, simply for the fact that your demo rooms are out of control. I say to all my friends go have a sit and listen and tell me you don't want a system like that. Great selection, great customer service and who doesn't want to hear their favorite song on a 1/4 million dollar setup?
What would you tell someone who's considering Hi-Fi Centre?
Just go and have a listen to even the entry level setups there and tell me they don't blow your soundbar out of the water. HiFi Centre has fantastic brands and the staff to tell you all about them.
Is there anything else about your experience you'd like to share?
I'm happy.
