They aren’t “temporarily closed” as Google claims. Echo Audio gets 5 stars. Google gets 0 stars.I was just there about 6 weeks ago. I just downsized into a new home and had excess high end audio gear to get rid of. They paid me a fair price for my used gear and even suggested I keep some of it to give to my (adult) daughter rather than sell it to them, even though it would pair nicely with the other items they bought from me. Knowledgeable and friendly. Don’t hesitate to use them for your A/V needs!

I dont know what their brick-and-mortar location is like, its probably great, but I purchased a Benchmark DAC2D from Echo in the summer of 20, and it would regularly cut out after several hours of use. Thinking it was an operating system issue, Id leave it unplugged from the laptop - over the course of a month, when Id leave it plugged in Id wake to find it shut off. Sent it back to Benchmark, and they replaced the power supply board; has worked 100% ever since. I cant speak to Echos testing procedure, but this seems like something that shouldve been caught before putting a unit up for sale.

I have had Echo Layla 3G, and previously I owned Echo older audio interface. I loved their audio interfaces. But I am giving it a one star because of their business ethics. They stopped supporting the products, no drivers for the new windows. The interface hard ware is fine but they are useless without the right drivers. So all the money I spent is gone waste. So be sure to buy from companies that has a better support. Now I have to buy another audio interface which means spending almost another grand only Echo Audio didnt want to update drivers for the updated windows.

My experience with Echo Audio has been totally positive. Had problems with my Pioneer turntable and Echo solved it all. No parts needed replacement rather the turntable needed a tuneup which Echo admirably provided. They are a good honest business whose work delivers quality sound.

Got a great new headset at a very reasonable price and my service agent Greg was very knowledgeable and efficient. Highly recommend.

I made a purchase on 4/17/21. I had called the store seeking an Item that I had seen online. I spoke to Matt and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. I was able to place My order over the phone. The price of the item and shipping were both very reasonable.

Two time customer. Great consignment gear. I always stop by whenever I am in town. Favorite shop in the West Coast.

My Go-To Place for Audio: The audio experts in the Portland area. Excellent advice and counsel. Not trying to sell but to help and explain and get you what you really need. Just bought our kid a new turntable and they helped us deliberate between our top two choices and were delighted. Just had the cartridge on my old turntable replaced and they did a superb job. Really love how personal they are with each and every customer. New location has off-street free parking. Love Echo Audio!

Every reason to buy local when you can. Excellent interaction... helpful, personable, and there when you need them. Thanks, Echo Audio!

Great rotating selection of high end gear, with very helpful employees to match. Give them time and theyll find just what you need at a fair price.

Super friendly, great service and fantastic audio recommendations with an audio wall to try before you buy!

Getting my old amp out of storage, and there was no doubt about who to tune it up. Echo Audio provides great customer service and quick turnaround...even during the pandemic. Thanks!

Kurt was super helpful in making recommendations and getting our shop set up with a great sounding system that is flexible and met our budget. Would absolutely use Echo again!

Worked with the great staff to purchase an audio technica turntable and powered speakers = simple setup. They were so helpful and showed me the basics - so happy to be enjoying vinyl again. They have an awesome listening room as well. No pressure, great range of products, so helpful. Easy location on Beaverton Hillsdale highway. I look forward to being a loyal customer.

The staff there are immensely helpful and very understanding of what youre looking for when it comes to a sound signature, form factor, etc. Theres no pressure into making a sale either; its a truly laid back environment. They didnt have what I was looking for in stock but were able to obtain it quickly from the manufacturer and have it shipped to my house in Washington.It was a great experience and I look to visiting them again when I return to Portland.

Excellent customer service, friendly service and people who care. They provide great value for quality used high and mid-fi audio. These guys are the best!

Awesome high end audiophile store! Classic and modern equipment to check out. Staff was amazing! Certainly go if you are looking for the perfect home audio experience!

Shout out for Brett, who helped me over the phone, with suggestions for streaming an internet radio station that is not on offer other than on PCs, tablets, or laptops. In the process of setting up my stereos from the 70s and 80s they will be a great help with splitters and speaker wire (and outside speakers!). Looking forward to it. (and yes, Brett, your suggestion helped!)

Outstanding service. Competitive prices. I prefer using these guys over ordering online. Amazing selection of headphones to try before you buy too.

One of the best experiences Ive ever had at any retail store. Greg is awesome, they recommended a few products that would maximize my heaphone setup, my budget was around 2500$, instead of just trying to take my money and run, he recommended trying to purchase some used gear and put me on a list for when those come in. Will for sure be back and recommend this place to anyone trying to get into the audiophile space. They are obviously trying to make lasting customer relationships.

A great Audio shop with knowledgeable staff and great prices. I love the new location. If youre into good music, home theater and stereo, you have to stop in.

Staff is knowledgeable and unafraid to refer you to equipment they dont stock if the believe it will cover your needs. Honestly the selection is a bit small for the lower end Hi-Fi gear, cant speak for the upper end as I dont have 3 grand to drop on an Amp so I stayed away from looking at too many of those.Overall having a place to test out your equipment compared to the stock they have on hand is great, combined with knowledgeable staff who arent just trying to sell what leftover stock they have it gets a 5 star rating even though I couldnt find what I wanted while I was there.

I never write reviews but feel compelled to here. I took my dads vintage Pioneer receiver which is a heirloom to get fixed and they said it would be done in about 3 weeks. 4 days later it was done! Not only was it fixed but it works better than it ever has before. Highly recommend!

Far more trustworthy than their competition in Hawthorne and also down to earth given they sell high end equipment. Guessing they aren’t on commission. Anyway have bought and traded from them and it’s always a good experience. Support vintage equipment! It’s sustainable.

The ONLY place in Portland that I will buy (and occasionally sell) high end audio equipment. I have got incredible deals over the years from Kurt, Matt, and all the guys. What their selection and prices has afforded me is superior quality gear and years of enjoyment. A fun place to stop by and just enjoy the music!

This is actually Robert Johns using Kathy Johns account, just to be upfront and clear. That said, I want to say that Kurt and Jake at Echo Audio made it extremely easy for me to get a wonderful Plinius Koru phonostage. I had been searching for such an item and when I saw that they had one available I jumped on it. Although all the correspondence was done via e-mail, Kurt and Jake were never more than a few minutes away from answering me. When we closed the transaction, shipping the Plinius was like they drove it to me house it was that quick.I cannot say more than these are excellent people with excellent service! Highly recommended!

Great store! So many interesting things to drool over. Take a break from over-researching and purchasing online and go talk to a human and listen to the components, its great!They have all ranges of audio equipment, so dont be intimidated by the $10k McIntosh amp. I just wanted a pair of good sub-$300 speakers for my TV setup. I went in thinking the Elan B6 were for me, but after listening and discussing my needs with them, I went with the KEF Q100s. Very grateful for their assistance, maybe someday I can get that McIntosh there...

Top shelf selection, limited and exclusionary offerings for entry level consumers. Anything under 200 is most definitely going to be limited to one or two models in any category. Considering the people on the street right now, and just Portland as a whole, this place feels disconnected, but if youre the target market I guess this is your corner audio store. This is a three star review. It gets 4 for the knowledgeable and somewhat friendly staff.

A great place to visit! I dropped in last week and was very impressed with the wide range of equipment and speakers at Echo Audio. Because a lot of Echos equipment is used you never know what brand and model of equipment you will find in their store. Turnover of inventory seems to be pretty fast so I have regularly checked online to see what new has come in to their store.A special thanks to Greg who graciously setup the Wilson Sophia speakers for me and let me listen to my hearts desire to whatever music I wanted to listen to!

Echo Audio moved to an AWESOME new showroom - 5904 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy - I stopped in yesterday for the first time to check it out.I totally upgraded my HiFi system with a killer convenience and usability wireless streaming setup.The best part was they had everything in stock for me to take home for instant gratification - super AWESOME!!!The new location has massively expanded inventory on display and in stock from the best companies in the business.Super huge space with private and comfortable listening areas.Staffed with friendly, helpful, courteous and extremely knowledgeable HiFi Pros.I strongly recommend a visit for the best audiophile experience youll find anywhere.

These guys are great! They are very friendly and extremely well educated in audio. I had some amateur questions that they answered with patience. Their repair service knows everything and will not rip you off.

All staff were super helpful and patient. They gave me a phenomenal deal on some sennheiser headphones (they price matched). Highly recommend stopping by, even if you’re just browsing.

They have a tremendous range of fantastuc gear, but when I went there, I was contemptuously greeted and then steadfastly ignored. I hope that was an aberration, but I made a long trip to get there and it was disappointing to be treated like an intruder.

Very knowledgeable store staff and I was treated very well. They helped me make a great choice.

I have been doing business with Kurt since 1989; he is one of the best people I have ever met. The Echo Audio team is knowledgeable, friendly and creates a relaxed atmosphere, where buying audio gear can still be fun. If youre looking for a particular piece, just ask; if its out there - Kurt can probably find it.

Purchased 2 KT 88 monoblocks from Jake. They set them up for me and let me listen as long as I wanted. Super great customer service! Will be doing more business with them in the future

This store is a breath of fresh air after visiting one of the audio stores in Beaverton. The staff was courteous and knowledge, the prices were great, and there was plenty of opportunity to try speakers with the music I brought. Cant recommend highly enough.

How have I not written a beaming review for this shop yet? Hands down the best retail business Ive ever purchased anything from. What I appreciate most is that you can walk in there ready to spend a few hundred dollars on your first Hifi setup and theyll treat you the same as someone spending 20 grand. These kinds of shops can sometimes be intimidating, but Echo is far from it. I actually drag my friends here and try to get them to buy stuff, I appreciate them so much.99% of the time they have the best price on something. If you find something online on clearance for for a few bucks cheaper, its still more than worth it to buy it from Echo. The service and care youll get should you have any issue is more than worth the few dollars you saved on that open box thing you bought online (trust me - I have made that mistake!).I cant stress enough how comfortable the vibe is there. Unfortunately, Hifi can be a bit of a dude-centric boys club. It speaks volumes that my wife (an interior designer) sends clients (men and women) there whenever the opportunity arises.Anyway - Ill top gushing - theyre the best. The End.

Everyone ought to go there theyve got some most amazing equipment in the store is phenomenal

Nice place. Smart people. I bought a turntable here, they set it up correctly.

Splendid spot! Knowledgeable staff and stellar deals. They truly took care of me! Ill be coming back for future purchases.

Just as they move onto BHH I end up having to relocate somewhere else... cest la vie, I suppose. Love the shop and would recommend for buying and selling audio equipment. The owner also said that he does equipment repair.

Echo Audio, a rare gem in the Audio Store scene of the Pacific Northwest. I have been a customer now for almost 10 years. New gear, used gear, slightly used gear-all sorts of speakers, receivers, amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, tube gear, and other source components...I think you can get a graduate degree in practical audio electronics just by regularly visiting the place. Kurt and his team absolutely know what they are doing, and the whole experience is pleasant and extremely reliable. They stand behind what they sell, and service it with no questions asked. IMHO, smart customers should check with Echo Audio every time they want to make a purchase of an audio component. Very highly recommended.

Kurt and the rest of the Echo Audio team are customer focused and looking out for you. Case in point, I recently dropped some equipment for consignment when later that week I received a call from Kurt who suggested an alternate method to move my equipment and net more out of the deal. He even offered to have his team box it up and ship it under their discount. That was the Friday going into MLK weekend so promptly Tuesday morning a Paypal invoice for shipping charges arrives along with the tracking number for the gear. Seriously, that’s service. If you are looking for high-end gear from a trustworthy team Echo Audio is where to shop.

I purchased a number of components from Echo Audio as part of a home audio system upgrade and I was very satisfied with the prices and customer service I received. Kurt and Matt were very helpful and theyre committed to making sure the customer is satisfied with their purchase. I will most certainly be going back to Echo Audio for any future system upgrades. They are top-notch in my book!

Awesome place...if you like to dream about what you would like to have stop. People there are very knowledgable and friendly.

Excellent place! Super friendly and helpful.

Have purchased several products from these guys and always had excellent service. The delicate pieces have been carefully packaged and shipped to me in no time at all. Im out of the State, in California, and Im always looking at their used gear from good deals.

This is the go to for high end audio (Stereotypes is also excellent, but Echo offers unparalleled used equipment selection and value). Very helpful and friendly staff, they will hook you up with what you need.

Great place for audio.

Staff is so educated in Hi Fi! Whatever you want, they will provide!

Absolutely the best customer service around. Doing business there was a fantastic experience and I look forward to future upgrades with the help of Kurt and his staff. Im new to this level of audio expertise and feel that Kurt is honest and will get me set up the best he can with whatever amount of money I am spending. A+++++

Great store. Sometimes high end audio stores can be stuffy and pretentious. These guys were down to earth and know their stuff. They worked on an old Pioneer receiver of mine and did a great job getting it tuned up.

Awesome selection, beautiful new digs and staffed by friendly, knowledgeable guys.

Helpful staff, guided me quickly to best fit for travel earphones, balancing comfort with mic-capable and sound. Helpful guidance on warrantee. Lots of high end gear in the place, too. Wish I had more time to browse.

Bought a tube receiver. Had some problems and they were taken care of very quickly and professionally. I give this business an AAA+++ rating. Do not hesitate to do business there.Martin

Friendly and helpful. Lots of quality used equipment available.

Wide variety of high end audio gear, even old stuff. Nitpick: Not much they could do, but I waited around for 20 minutes to talk to a salesman, but they were all busy with other people. They lost a sale. Its too bad, I really wanted to like the place.

Great Customer Service! Very polite staff! We will return! Thank you.

Bought a classic old school case record player from them over a year ago, it served me well. Then, brought it in the other day and put the credit towards a new model turntable w/usb. Great people, great business and fantastic products- with a wide price range. ♡

Echo Audio is back better than ever in their new Beaverton space!

For the most part, audio shops intimidate me. Hey, Im not a timid fellow, but because of the depth in which one can become consumed by all that encompasses that world... It can be daunting.Never had a record player and came across a free receiver to accompany a free turntable. Dead receiver was brought here to be benched and fixed.Not only were they patient with my questions but offered a quick turn around.This place is the nicest, most impressive audio shop Ive ever been in. They have the best display of some of the nicest equipment Ive seen. Its clean, professional, and smart. Look no further, internet friend, for these folks are the best.

Extremely knowledgeable, patient, and helpful staff and the highest quality new and used high fidelity audio equipment.

An amazing store. Wide range of expertise from the staff and they are more than willing to help you in any way possible, even if you simply want to sit down and listen to your favorite music.

Absolutely stellar shopping experience. These guys are not only very easy to talk to, but extremely knowledgeable. Their hardware truly is top notch. I purchased a Rotel RMB-1075 5 channel AMP, its like new and for the price it was a steal. They fully test all components before selling. Couldnt be happier, this is my new go to store for audio equipment, turntable servicing and audio advice.

Great staff very helpful and knowledgeable. Ine of my favorite high end audio stores I have ever been to.

They sell Sonos stuff and tons of other great sound systems. Worth checking out if you’re an audiophile, or audiocurious.

Very knowledgeable and offered great information so I could make informed decisions.

Hands Down the Best and the only Audio store to go to.I cannot say enough about the people who work there.Friendly,understanding, knowledgable,unpretentous and straight honest.I forever went to another audio store in S.E. who will remain nameless. I always felt let down by that said place. Then a friend suggested Echo Audio and I never looked back. Thanks Echo you Rock

I will never buy audio gear anywhere else. Ever. Period. They back their products; new or used. They provide honest recommendations. If youre looking for a surround system for a basement for the kids, theyll push a used set of $100 speakers for the surrounds. Youll need to talk them into something better...theyll try to talk you out of it. If theres a better deal elsewhere, theyll tell you.Theyre the Nordstroms/Costco/REI of the audio world. I didnt think such a place existed. But it does. Its Echo Audio.

Great staff, insane selection of high end audio, expert guidance, low pressure sales, awesome. Fantastic service and repairs too.

My very favorite audio store,well worth your time and money

So I wasnt looking forward to finding a shop to repair my high end Pass Labs gear because I had just moved to Portland, knew no one, and the guys at Pass told me not to send it to anyone but them.Well, I happened upon Echo Audio and what a pleasant surprise. Not only did Brent fix it, but he expedited it like I asked too. These days it seems to be hard to find good service, but I found it! I couldnt be happier, thanks guys.

Ive shopped from them for over15 years and they are honest with good prices on excellent new and used gear. Apart from Saturday Audio I think they are unique.

Excellent service.They were very patient about letting me listen to gear before buying.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

These guys know their stuff. Great 2 channel audio boutique.

I have been a patron of Echo Audio since hifi first became a hobby of mine in my teenage years. Now a full fledged adult and more than a decade later, Echo is still my favorite shop. Not only is it THE best shop in town but it has to be among the best in the nation. The owner Kurt truly has a passion for music and hifi. I know of no other place where vintage receivers routinely share shelf space with a multi-thousand dollar reference amplifiers. The store sells some of the most unique pieces of used gear available anywhere as well as some of the best value new gear on the market. Customer service is top notch, Kurt is as honest as they come and the prices are more than fair. 5 star +

We were in the market for a phono pre-amp for our record player. We were immediately pointed to several options from very affordable to high-end, and decided on a low-mid dollar option with the clerks advice.The store clerk did on online price check just to assure the stores price competitiveness. Currently at home enjoying great sound flowing from our new set up! Thanks Echo!

Iconic Portland audiophile spot

Great place.....super knowledgeable stacc

Good service, lots of great new and used gear.

Very friendly and relaxed about letting you listen and relax into the next purchase.

At Echo Ive got the speakers that I enjoy a lot! What to say more? These were pre-owned, with small cosmetics, but they sound as if they costed ~~7x the price I paid.The store itself looks like a museum of Hi-Fi / HighEnd audio, with a fascinating mix of brand new and pre-owned gear. Their listening place was not a refined soundproof room, but thats Ok: after all if you are satisfied with the speakers there - these may sound even better when brought home.I was truly pleased by an unobtrusive attention of Kurt and the other guys working there (I wish I was better at remembering the names! Have to come back :))When I came they had everything setup for me for the most effective listening and comparison (I called Kurt a day in advance).I even got a discount when I already said I will buy speakers I was listening to. And the guys did a bang good job on packaging those heavy beasts (120lbs each) and stayed after-hours to handle it all and load into my car.By the way I was directed to Echo Audio by their friends from Pearl Audio :)

The people at Echo Audio are amazing. I own a Luxman 5L15 amp and this beast blew the fuses. Living outside Ashland I called Echo and spoke to Curt who told me to bring in my amp. I informed Curt that I had to return to Ashland the following day and he told me that they would check out the amp and try to fix the problem. I went and had lunch with my wife and during lunch (one hour after I dropped of my amp) Curt called and told me that the unit was ready for pick up. Incredible customer service, inexpensive and amazingly friendly staff. A place I will return to when I need new audio equipment.

Nice people, nicer stereo equipment.

Great service from knowledgeable and kind staff!

Gregs the man, he oozed knowledge and experience of auido equipment, especially turntables.Will be going here for sure.

Great for fine old audio equipment.

On 5/18, I went into Echo Audio to fit a cartridge to my Kenwood KD-500 turntable. This thing is in pretty good shape for a 38yr old turntable. The Grace G-840 arm required a minor repair with the anti-skate clamp which I did in like 10min.The salesman literally scoffed at my turntable. He told me no decent cartridge will help it and pretentiously questioned what system I had at home. I replied I have systems and why does it matter? I told him this same exact KD-500 is for sale at Freds Sound of Music for $1600.Yes I took his attitude personally. This unit was given to me from a very close friend of mine who is very sick. I treasure this turntable and for the salesman to tell me, Youll be back selling it to us for $100, I was appalled. You know what man? Screw you. Maybe you should try to be a little more personable and not look down your nose at folks.Not everyone can afford a $3500 turntable with a $1200 cartridge and $5000 speakers. Music is more than what system you play it through-- its about the human experience. I know because Ive been a musician for 25 years.I did purchased the Ortofon 2m Blue from your business because I didnt feel like driving across town to another store, but this will be the last time I shop at Echo Audio. You got 2 starts for that.I hope the salesman reads this and groks the hurtfulness of his actions.I dont know how people like this make a living. What a dick.

At the risk of gushing about Echo Audio... Id like to add my experiences with Kurt and his co-workers. Ive known Kurt since 1995 and, full disclosure, I also consider him to be a good friend. But, this review is about his store, not our friendship.Back in 1995, I wanted to upgrade my mid-fi stereo. Being a neopyte, Kurt helped me to dramatically improve my system. Over the years Ive been fortunate to have Kurts guidance (and Rin-Tin-Tin ears) to help me aquire better pieces to the point where I now own an extremely satisfying stereo system. And, almost everything Ive purchased has been preowned, saving me huge sums of money! By the way, Echo pricing is very fair. Be advised, they price to sell, stuff moves quickly, so its worth checking the website regularly.However, the most important aspect of dealing with Echo Audio is the honesty and integrity of Kurt and his staff. More than once Ive been tempted to buy a piece only to be talked out of it by Kurt because it wasnt compatible with my existing units. He has always has steered me straight. You will never be over sold. They take the time get a feel for what youre wanting to do and work within your budget to achieve your goals. Youre encouraged to take equipment home and hear it in your listening environment, which is often the true test of whether youll like it or not. Ive found that pieces usually sound far better at home than at the store. They stand behind what they sell. If theres a problem they make it right. If you assistance setting up your equipment honorable mention has to go to Kollin... he pays attention to the smallest details to ensure that everything is set up correctly.For sure, Echo Audio is a far cry from your typical stereo store. I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea.... there is no other like Echo Audio and I would NEVER buy audio gear anywhere else!

Best audio store anywhere.

Great place always there for you

Great products and even better people.

Great staff. Great selection of equipment.

Helpful staff, good prices on new and used equipment.

Excellent costumer service, very friendly!

Always the best range in quality audio

Nice guys, cool stuff.

The only place I shop for hi-fi and its the reason I got into it in the first place.

Very helpful.
