  Gold Sound Understands Value...
All equipment is selected upon a quality to value ratio weighted towards very good quality and a good price.
We're proud of what we sell... Unlike big box stores, we offer personal service and no hassle sales.



NOT EVERYONE FITS into BIG BOX STORES

CHECK OUT GOLD SOUND'S MANY ADVANTAGES

CONSUMER REPORTS, SOUND & VISION & ABSOLUTE SOUND all recommend independent dealers over big box stores. “Personal service is something big box stores & internet sellers can’t offer,” ABSOLUTE SOUND 1/2006. “You have to visit a true specialty store to get better, in-depth advice,” HOME THEATER 4/2004.  CONSUMER REPORTS 12/06 said independent dealers are best in Product Quality, Price, Checkout Speed & Service.

Our prices are usually the same or lower & our selection is often more comprehensive. Their sales people refer customers to us, since we carry products that they do not, including better home theater, stereo 
& pro equipment; turntables; quality used equipment & speaker components.

HOME THEATER sent shoppers to 9 big box stores in N.Y., Colorado, California, etc. “Their demeanors quickly sank to the excitement level of cold oatmeal about audio. Demo rooms sound excruciatingly awful.” Big box stores have walls of speakers, etc., but none are hooked up. 

Many big box stores prefer to sell lower quality brands with short warranties, since they make more selling warranties than selling equipment. Many stores require their employees to sell overpriced extended warranties, that consumer magazines call a scam. A big box store saIesman said, “I almost feel sorry for the customers. They just want to buy a TV, but my job is to sell cables & warranties.” Often 
salesmen are paid only on commission, but are not paid if they sell their cheapest advertised equipment, encouraging bait & switch.

Recently, one of Colorado’s larger big box stores fired their entire service department, discontinuing all in-store service, to make space for washers & dryers. Their president stated “Service is a thorn in our side; we’re not very good at it.” 

Most Gold Sound products have a 3 year warranty; some have 10 year warranties, no charge. We've fixed equipment & CD's, free, while the customer waits. We can only provide this service for items purchased here. We fix speakers not purchased here for local customers.

A customer said, "You have the best store - new equipment from budget to high end, stereo & home theater. You're the only place to shop."
