Mark Anderson, owner, has been a leader in consumer electronics in Southern California for the past 15 years, specializing in home audio and video in the late '90s with the opening of his current retail location. Anderson brings a special blend of expertise to the audio arena, with a background that includes 20-plus years in the construction industry. Among his earliest projects, in fact, was to build the country's first "twin" movie theatre. With his in-depth knowledge of all facets of the audio installation process, as well as his understanding of the current retail market, Anderson is an invaluable source for jobs as simple as a dedicated home theatre to more complex, multi-room systems for both residential homes and businesses.

Mark Valade, store manager, helps manage the day-to-day operations, overseeing an inventory that boasts many of the finest audio products in the industry. He'll be the first to say that this is the best part of his job. With more than 20 years experience in audio retail, Valade's ongoing passion for his hobby-turned-profession offers the consumer rare insights into an ever-changing market. He simplifies not only the buying, but also the selling process in that he is one of the few retailers to also offer a consignment program. His expertise isn't confined to the showroom, as Valade is also an experienced technician, often following an initial sale through to its final installation.

Mark Mathena, lead technician, is another 20-year veteran and an expert in turning our customers' dreams of the ultimate home theatre into reality. With his impeccable attention to detail, Mathena strives for perfection in projects as basic as simple hookups to more elaborate custom home theatres. Assisting Mathena in the field is Daniel Juarez, a skilled technician and experienced programmer. Joe Silva, another longtime employee, has a vast knowledge of our products and is expert at guiding you through every step of your purchase. He, too, is an expert programmer, system designer as well as guitarist extraordinaire.
