Amazing service and great selection. Highly recommend. Ben is fantastic and takes the time to make sure you are happy with your purchase and get everything you need!
I’ve been shopping here for years and I always appreciate the Excellent Customer Service and selection of high quality audio. Highly recommend! A+++
What a special spot - I picked up my first speaker pair/receiver here recently. Elton spent almost two hours with me talking with me about my music goals and sampling different combinations to make sure I had the right sound at the right price point. He made me right at home to ask even the most basic questions. It was a great experience and origin story for what has already been some excellent hardware! Another madison gem.
Very grateful for the friendly and professional help.
Purchased a pair of S6s and it could not have gone better. Speakers work and look like new and the trucking company was excellent. I wish that they had more listings online because they would be my first choice to buy from again.
We recently moved to the greater Madison area. I approached Steve with ideas I had for our Home Theater / Audiophile (Pure music listening) within our Great Room. It’s a challenging room .... high ceilings, open balcony, a wall of glass, open on two sides, wood floors, multiple angles. Steve and Chad developed a plan, and reviewed it with us. I am incredibly particular with HT and music quality. I had high expectations and these guys delivered. They incorporated my existing equipment and expanded with new technology and components. The results are breathtaking and exceeded my expectations. It took a while but Chad stayed with it until the results were stellar. Plus the majority of the equipment is either out of sight or integrated extremely well. I could not be happier. These guys have their act together and know how to get results with high end equipment in difficult rooms.
A great crew that is excited to help. I have felt appreciated by the team when I come in with questions. Seems as if this crew can work with the most tech and sound savvy or even newbies like myself.Truly appreciative of University Audio, their knowledge and service.
These guys are the only credible and genuinely knowledgeable audiophiles in the greater Madison area.They also have amazing customer support. They will take great care of you. You can buy with confidence from this business.
Decided it was time to upgrade my speakers, stopped by University Audio, spent an informative and delightful hour (or so) with Steve, made my choice, and am extremely satisfied with the speakers and with the attention and service received. The suggestions were tailored to my music tastes, my price range was respected, Steve was very patient with my decision-making process. I think he truly enjoyed answering every question and allowing me to listen to my final choices again and again and again. A week later I had an unrelated question about my system (not related to a purchase), and the phone consultation was thorough and helpful. They will definitely get my return business.
Great professionals! These guys wont steer you wrong. Well versed in all things audio/video. A personal feel with professional advice and products.
Its the best! Ive done business with all the others in town, and have been living in the audiophile world on and off for 40 years. My recommendation of this store and staff is enthusiastic and unequivocal. Great products and unparalleled service. Just purchased my most recent system from Univ Audio and had the pleasure of working with Elton, Steve and Ben. Thanks to all of you!
Not sure what happened with that other reviewer and the dog, but when I was in there today, the dog (a border collie puppy) was sequestered in the back. I had my son with me and he asked to see the dog. They warned me that she was very friendly and might jump up on us, but were dog lovers and didnt mind. Once she was out and got used to us, she was much calmer. The point is, they keep the dog in back and only let her out upon request, so its safe for those who dont like exuberant dogs. Also, I was told that having the dog there was only temporary.As for the service, these guys are awesome! I just bought a home theater receiver and surround sound speakers (not from them), but needed some quality speaker wire and banana clips. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. They looked up my system online to be sure they were recommending the right items for my home setup. In fact, they showed me that I needed a sub-woofer RCA cable I didnt know I needed. I wouldve driven all the way home and realized I didnt have the right cable, and then had to drive all the way back again unless they had pointed that out to me. Yes, they sell high-end stuff, but the quality and service is worth every penny. I will definitely shop here again!
I went in a Monday morning, and Steve Briggs, the general manager, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The store has an incredible selection of high-end audio equipment. I would definitely recommend this store for any audio-enthusiast.
Ive been buying stereo equipment from University Audio since 2003 when I purchased a Home Theater Receiver from Ben. Since then over the years I have upgraded my system significantly and these guys have been a tremendous resource along the way. They have let me borrow preamps, power amps, digital sources and cables to try at home before making a decision. High-end audio can be very frustrating at times and to have a local dealer that understands this and takes their time to make sure youre satisfied is invaluable. Highly recommended.
These guys are the best. If you want an honest recommendation go see them first. Shop around and I guaranty you will be back. While the other independent shops in Madison are reputable (Ive supported most) Ben, Steve & Dave are at the top of my list for educational support.
I was having trouble stripping cable wire to set up my speakers and decided to see if University Audio could help me. They stripped my wire for me in less than five minutes and refused to accept money for doing so. They were happy to do it and just wanted to help me be able to listen to my music. Id recommend this place highly and appreciate their kindness!
Two years ago I bought my stereo receiver here. Awesome place to shop for stereo equipment. Steve was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Excellent source for audiophillia addicts and those seeking options for great sound. Very competitive pricing and even better the staff are friendly and knowledgeable.
A beautiful store. They didn’t have what I was looking for, as I am more into legacy formats, but I will be returning here at some point for a pair of headphones.
Awesome place! Father bought some McIntosh from them and so far its amazing. Highly recommended shop.
