Shop Local at Austin’s Home Theater Store -- Our Showroom Is Safely Open and Ready to Serve You

by Ben Algaze

A&B TV has been in business for over half a century, and naturally, you could say we've seen a few things in that time. One of the inexorable changes in our business has been the rise of online shopping. When we started, people actually went to a store to see, hear, and touch TVs and audio equipment. Today, people read reviews, point and click online, and a package shows up at your door.

We don't think there's anything wrong with online shopping. But we also believe great audio and video products should be sampled and experienced. You can get a real sense for the build quality and finish on a speaker, hear how a speaker sounds with music and movies for yourself, and cross-shop the picture quality between high-end OLED and LED TVs.

What if you could do all that and still enjoy online levels of prices? That’s the shopping experience at A&B TV. Our showroom is safely open for business with social distancing and other safety measures in effect. We intend to continue to be Austin’s home theater store, a place where you can still come to sample the wares in person.

TVs, TVs, TVs

Our name is A&B TV, and TVs are still a very significant piece of our business. We carry the higher-end lines from Sony, LG, and Samsung, the world's three best TV brands. Step into our showroom, and you'll be able to see over 60 TVs on display. You can play with the remote, see different content, and evaluate color, sharpness, and other attributes. What's more, our expert staff is trained and ready to answer all your questions, helping you compare and contrast models and brands. 

 

Listening Rooms

Home theater is not just about the visuals; it's about the sound, too. Our showroom has the audio brands that are equally at home with two-channel music as much as home theater. Few places in Austin, if any, will have Revel's Concerta and Performa lines on hand for your listening tests. And we are the Austin area's exclusive dealer for GoldenEar and have their entire range in the showroom on display. Are you looking for subwoofers? We have SVS, whose subs are revered by bass enthusiasts everywhere. 

Beyond speakers, our listening rooms can help you match electronics to speakers. One of our favorite brands is Yamaha, and we feature the company’s high-end models so you can hear them with different speakers. For even more higher-end electronics, we also have Parasound and Mark Levinson in the showroom. Once you hear and see our Dolby Atmos videos, you’ll want that immersive surround experience in your home theater.

That’s Not All

Home theaters are more than TV screens and speakers, so we also have other things you can see in our showroom, like seating, BDI and Salamander media furniture, and JVC and Epson projectors for that cinematic experience. As authorized dealers for all the brands we sell, we can help you put together the perfect home theater or media room for your needs.
