Yes, Austin, There Are Still Speaker Stores

by Ben Algaze

You might say we are a throwback to a different time. We’re a local store, not a chain, and have always had a brick and mortar presence. When you call on the phone, a real person will answer it. We strive for a level of interaction and service that harkens back to the “good old days.”

 Whether you think the good old days were better or not, there’s no denying that there’s an incredible amount of choice in audio and video today. What’s more, if you compare the prices to what you paid in yesterday’s dollars versus today’s, you’d also find that you get a tremendous amount of performance for your buck at all price points now.

A&B TV has managed to thrive over 50 years in business by offering great selection, prices, and expertise to help you choose the home audio system that's right for you. And isn't it nice to actually see the equipment, hear it, and compare it to several others? That's what you get with us at Austin’s speaker store. Our showroom is safely open, staffed, and has all the necessary cleaning and distancing precautions in effect so that you can shop with confidence. Read on to learn more about what we have in our 10,000 square-foot showroom.

Speakers, Low and High

At A&B TV, we cater to nearly any budget. If you’re all about simplicity and digital music, a Sonos system might be right for you. From the Sonos 1 to Sub and the Five, a Sonos system is an easy way to get started with quality audio and small wireless multiroom systems.

Many people have larger spaces and want a bigger, more detailed sound in their rooms. The Klipsch Reference Premiere line is affordable and has garnered numerous exemplary reviews, and we have several models on display in the showroom. Klipsch also has a high-end range, which reviewers also love for their dynamics, like the Forte and La Scala, which might make you feel like you're in the front row of a live concert – except you can control the volume, so it's even better. One demo, and you might be sold. We are the only dealer in Austin with Klipsch Heritage speakers on display!

Audiophiles and enthusiasts are familiar with Revel speakers. Now part of Harman’s Luxury Audio group, they are known for superb accuracy and neutrality of their sound. Revel speakers are hard to find, but we have different sizes of both the highly regarded Performa and Concerta lines on display for your listening pleasure.

The Full Golden Ear Line, and SVS Subs Too

If your speaker tastes run a little more high-tech and unconventional, you will love GoldenEar. GoldenEar was started by Sandy Gross, who was also a driving force behind Polk Audio and Definitive Technology. GoldenEar speakers like the Triton Tower series employ built-in subwoofers and ribbon tweeters for incredible bass response and detailed highs and deliver accurate, nuanced sound that rivals far more expensive speakers. At A&B TV, we have them on display, as well as matching subwoofers, satellites, and even the high-performance GoldenEar soundbars for a TV room. 

Since 1998, SVS has been shaking up the audio world with subwoofers and speakers that perform beyond their price points. SVS started as a consumer-direct company, but now can be found at hi-fi dealers too. We're proud to carry their superb subwoofers, which perform brilliantly for either two-channel music or home theater, and you can experience how they blend with other speakers in our listening room.

We welcome you to visit us for a safe shopping experience and one that is sure to delight your ears.
