Gold Sound 's Blog Page |
Thanks to your support, we are now in our thirty-second year. Over 159,000 people have seen our website. Customers include people in all 50 states & about 50 nations, plus many government & corporate customers, including NASA, Lockheed & Boeing. Here's some recent customer comments.
"At last, I've found a real store."
"Gold Sound is the only store to buy from."
"You're real friendly and consumer-oriented."
"I've gone to many other stores, but only buy here,
since you have the sound & values."
"You're the only place in Colorado with a good
selection of stereo & home theater equipment."
Today, all big box stores & many so-called high end stores mainly sell big screen TVs. We care about sound. While others only carry the most advertised brands, we specialize in equipment with better sound & superior value. Unlike any big box stores, here you'll find many new turntables, European designed speakers, tube electronics, plus preamps, power amps & integrated amps.
Customers have compared our Quad 11L & 22L with larger & more expensive speakers from B&W, Boston Acoustics, Canton, Dali, Dynaudio, JBL, KEF Reference, Klipsch Reference, Paradigm, PSB, Spendor & many more. Every time, all the customers have preferred the sound of the Quad speakers. In June, Quad prices will increase. Customer comments on the Quads include, "Deeper bass; more three dimensional imaging; a piano just sounds more like a piano; it's just a nicer speaker."
Gold Sound is the only store in Colorado where you can hear three STEREOPHILE top-rated CD players: the English-made Rega Apollo & Saturn, as well as the $899 Marantz SA8001. The Saturn & Marantz are both A-rated, the same as CD players for over $30,000.
At the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, we had one of the busier & better received rooms. Writers from Absolute Sound, Stereophile & other magazines enjoyed listening to our system. A recording engineer thought our system sounded better than others that cost over ten times more, or over $200,000. Often the same people would return three or four times, impressed with the Quad ESL's rare musicality. We also displayed a Rega turntable & CD player, Moscode tube hybrid amplifier & PS Audio Premier Power Plant.
After hearing our Quad 22L speakers, people asked the price. I replied "Eighteen [meaning $1800]." Several times people asked "Eighteen thousand?", since they sounded better than many more expensive systems. We were the only dealer at this show with surround & stereo systems under $1000, plus five more systems under $5000.
April 2008 Stereophile & Absolute Sound both praise many of our lines: Marantz, Mission, Monitor Audio, NAD, Parasound Halo, Project, Ortofon, Quad, Quicksilver, Rega, Rogue, Grado, Sumiko, Wharfedale & others. The new QUAD 11 & 22, L2 versions, have earned some of the best customer acceptance of any products we've ever carried. Both are highly recommended by Absolute Sound.
We display Rega's Apollo & Saturn CD players. Both STEREOPHILE & ABSOLUTE SOUND rate the Apollo as the best at anywhere near its price. Many more expensive CD players don't match the Rega's sound. The Rega Saturn gets even better reviews. The only problem is that the demand is much greater than the supply. Often the same day that a Rega comes in, it leaves with a delighted customer.
Mission speakers combine remarkable sound with exquisite cabinet design. Reviewers rate their sound as superior to many more expensive brands. September 2007 ABSOLUTE SOUND praises the Mission E80 speakers. We display Mission bookshelf & towers. Mission also makes center speakers & subs.
In March at the Denver Vintage Voltage Expo, over 1,000 people saw a veritable history of audio, including the first radios & speakers from the 1920's, classic 1950's & 1960's electronics, plus many newer items.
Gold Sound had the only audio seminars. The first, "Build Your Own Speakers," showed how you can save money & get better performance by building your own speakers, especially the Gold Sound kits using Pro JBL drivers. The second seminar, "Totally Tubular," demonstrated classic & current tube electronics. Gold Sound has new tube electronics from Quad, Quicksilver, Rogue Audio & Bellari.
