For the price i paid. I was totally disappointed. I call this company because i didn't want the hassle of reading a manual an doing the job myself. I had to call and request a follow up because job wasn't performed to expert level.
Response from AV Guru
"This client was not clear about wanting some unusual things like SA CD which is a dead format. Once this was made clear, We went back and performed this task within 12 hours of being made aware of it. We even did some additional programming on his remote at no charge but some people can't be pleased I guess."

They came out next day. A little pricey but did a good job. Job lasted longer than they thought. Having surround sound system wired up and mouted. They seemed a little frustrated that they were there that late so when tuning receiver my sub woofer had a hum in it and they said it was either my sub or my receiver but did not want to see which one. Now I am stuck without a sub and don't know if it is the sub or receiver. The rest of the work was done first class though.
Response from AV Guru
"This was a double wall (2 story ) drop for all speakers. Every thing had to be retro wired. We asked client if he was satisfied, he said he was very satisfied and that we really satisfied his needs and he thanked us very much. apparently he has changed his mind. We will be happy to trouble shoot his sub woofer problem by bring out another receiver and sub woofer as a control example. This was not requested and would cost more money."

"Doc" and his team gave me: 1) an excellent price on the equipment (for which I had comparison shopped), 2) astoundingly quick same-day service, and 3) did an excellent job on the same-day installation. I am delighted to have found them through "Servicemagic" and I will do business with them whenever I need any Audio Video products and/or service.

Called immediately on my request to schedule appointment. Showed on the agreed date/time. Listened attentively to my needs and most pleasantly did not give me a hard sell - such as costly additional fancy upgrades. In all it was not a big and costly project, but nevertheless Audio Vedeo Designers did the job to my full satisfaction - way to go !
Response from AV Guru
"Thanks George. Call us if you need anything else."

I worked with Doc on getting my satellite dish re-installed as well as having new wiring installed. We are in the process of completing a redesign of a den with a new multi television system.

Doc was awesome and came to my home to repair the problem the same day as I made the request! He definitely knows his stuff, and I would use his company in the future for either repairs or to upgrade my system. Very pleased!

This company is very expensive, but you get what you pay for. The first time I used them was for a repair of my existing audio system. I could not find anyone else who even wanted to, or was able to work on my system. Since then, I've used them to purchase and install a completely new a/v system. If you want the best--whether it be service or new equipment--and can afford it, these are the guys to call
