Reliable, local, honest. Ive dealt with these guys for years, enough said on that front. But dig this: my 90 year old mother, who knew as much about AV equipment as she knew about weed varieties, had her TV/music system die. Or maybe she just wanted something new. Similarly, my 75 year old sister had the same needs. I told both of them to call Performance, because I havent followed developments in the AV universe since the days of stereo systems and JBL speakers..Instead of loading up these two gullible customers with the most expensive stuff they could, (because its always The Best, right? )they listened, sold them what what they actually needed, installed it properly, and afterwards dealt with the inevitable questions and difficulties a person of A Certain Age (or any age) might have.Good luck trying that with some random Internet seller because he saved you twenty-five bucks. Or a big box store with techs who took a correspondence course in lieu of 6 getting months in the stir. Besides, Performance has good, competitive prices.

I have never had a better experience than dealing with Barry at Performance Audio. I had a problem with the input for one of the TVs they installed nearly 4 years ago and after numerous phone calls to figure the problem out Barry came to my residence to trouble shoot the problem.. They have a great selection and installers if you want them to put together a system for you.

The wife and I got an entire new system from Barry. From start to finish he guided us through with great information and distilled all the marketing hype from the things that we actually needed to consider. We wanted a complete multi room set up for music and home theater and we were not disappointed. From the myriad of components to choose from to the installation of the in ceiling speakers, these guys are pros. I would say that our experience before, during and after the install with them was A+. Thank you!

I recently purchased new McIntosh Audio gear for my home and office from Barry/Performance Audio. What A great experience to be able to work with people who actually know what they are talking about and really care about helping you make the right decisions. Fantastic to do business with and 100% worth the trip from Sacramento!

These guys set up my mum’s new TV, and after I told her she needed a new high speed HDMI cable to support HDR (to replace her original one), she asked them to install it. They rudely refused multiple times and told her I didn’t know what I was talking about. Anyone with a basic understanding of technical requirements for video and audio would know this. Definitely recommend going elsewhere. She paid a fortune for her new TV and setup yet they can’t be bothered to replace a 10 year-old cable to make sure it can accommodate the latest technology.

Great place, selection and knowledgeable courteous staff. Aint cheap, you want the good, this is the place to go.

Great personalized, knowledgeable, non-pushy, educational customer service.

Out of date showroom with belligerently out of touch salespeople. such a shame - really wish we had a high end and high functioning local audio retailer.

They cannot set up a wifi network. they have been working here for months and still have not gotten anywhere. do not use them, they are a waste of time and money. Do not use their services.
