I have never met these guys, but I did encounter Dale via email several days ago. He contacted me regarding an ad that I had posted here and helped me out of a situation that I didn't even realize I was in. After several emails I picked up the phone and called to thank him personally. He is genuinely interested and involved in this wonderful hobby of ours, and had nothing to gain by reaching out to me except my respect and possibly my future business. If his brother is anything like him, these guys are the kind of fellows I want to be dealing with. Thank you Dale and kudos to the brothers at eugenehifi.com.
I hate stereo stores But found the next best thing
I have been to all types of stereo stores. There are the big box stores - no help or knowledge to be found. There are the hi-fi niche shops - some are good - mostly overpriced and snobby. There are some used hi-end shops - they are OK but never seem to have anything I want.
Then I met a couple of Brothers (Dale and Chris) in Eugene Oregon. They own www.eugenehifi.com. I am in the market for some speakers! I found a pair that I liked at one of those local niche shops. I found the same speaker line that I liked on their website - so I decided to place a call. These guys are all about achieving the ultimate sonic experience and really finding out what is important to me (what a concept). Their attention to detail is second to none.
Their listening room is in their house - how different is that - its compfortable and has the same sound challenges as any other room - i.e. mine and yours. I liked that because I know that I will not be hanging acoustic panels(or anything else) in my living room to help the sound.
They carry just a few lines of gear - some I have heard of and others I have not, like Sonneteer and Neat Acoustics. This combination is incredible. Great gear from the UK. These are moderately priced combinations.
Check out their website and give them a call. I am glad I did and I will be back! I generally do not post good experiences, but when you run into the occasional exceptional one, you need to tell somebody about it.
Thanks
