Text Box:   Consignment Options! !!! Yes!  You now have options.  Used and consignment items have consistently been among our top sellers.  And now, it is even easier for you to sell your old gear.  Read on for a description of our new consignment fee structure. At consignment businesses, consignment fees typically run as high as 50% and 60%.  But we have kept ours at 40% for years.  Full service means we display, advertise, present and demonstrate your gear, just as we do our own new gear. We handle any customer inquiries (send them pictures, specs and other relevant information); we process the payment and deliver the gear to the buyer; we handle after-purchase questions and issues and mail you a check for the net proceeds from the sale.  For full-service consignment, Consignment Level 3, the fee is 40%.  Consignment Level 2—the same as Level Three, but you apply the proceeds of your full-service consignment sale to purchases here at Sweet Home Audio.  For Consignment Level 2, the fee is 25%.  Consignment Level 1—the same as Level Two, but you keep the gear until it’s sold.  We advertise and promote your used units, find a buyer and handle customer questions and the sale as usual.  But once it’s sold, you deliver it to the buyer yourself.  And we apply the net proceeds of the sale to your Sweet Home Audio account.  For Consignment Level 1, the fee is 15%. Now it is easier to turn your old gear into cash!  Call us today!

 

 

   NEW On-Line Store!

Text Box: It is not open yet, but here is the heads-up! We have under construction an on-line store that will link to our main web site (http://www.sweethomeaudio.com). It will specialize in products for the hands-on audio and video enthusiast—everything you’ll need to install your own distributed audio/video system (including the tools).  Yes, everything including bulk speaker wire, on-wall connections, volume control units for your in-wall loudspeakers, indoor and outdoor speakers, and all the rest.  And did we mention accessories galore? Buy from us, the home of beautiful sound, and relax because you know we back every one of our products and we aren’t happy until you are.   So go ahead, fine tune and extract the maximum enjoyment from your home system with peace of mind. You will be able to place your order right on the web site (what a concept!) and your order will be shipped right to your front door.  We are really excited to be able to bring you this service—there will be literally hundreds of products up very quickly, and we’ll be adding more every week.  Check in at our web site in the coming weeks for more news about this and for the date of the Grand Opening. We can’t wait!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Text Box: Usher BE-718 Totally Awesome!   The Usher Be-718 loudspeakers are now fully broken in.  Sweet, smooth, dynamic, fast, detailed and always musical—you will like these speakers.  And, perhaps more importantly, so will your spouse!   Come on in and give the Usher BE-718 loudspeakers a good listen.  Bring your toughest CDs and take them for a ride.  You’ll be glad you did.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Text Box: “I’ve never heard a speaker this small go so deep.”                            SoundStage!

 

 

 

Text Box: “…’remarkable’ is a word that sums up the performance of the BE-718s quite nicely” SoundStage!

 

Text Box: Usher BE-718 of the Dancer Series ► Reference Loudspeakers “Tiny Dancer" Encore

 

 

 

 

 

 

Text Box: The “Tiny Dancer” is the smallest and newest of the Usher Dancer Series of reference loudspeakers. No doubt about it, these Tiny Dancers will blow you away with their accuracy, transparency, smoothness, bass extension, high frequency air and sheen, and pure musicality.  And if that doesn’t blow you away, the price will.  For a mere $2,795, they deliver so much of the sound of the big Dancers that you may never feel the need to spend more for loudspeakers for your high-end music system. Here at the shop we have been listening to the Tiny Dancers with rapt attention.  They are so smooth, detailed and musical, we are amazed. The performance available for under $3,000 is nearly unbelievable!  Do yourself a favor and come in and hear these speakers for yourself. Call us today!          

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Text Box: “If I were in the market for a stand mount these would be my first choice because, in this price class, I think a speaker that hits all its marks is difficult enough to find but one that is as engaging to listen to as the Usher Be-718 comes along only once in a blue moon.” John Potis of Sixmoons.com

 

 

 

 

 

Text Box: Acoustic Zen Adagio Jr’s Here and Wow!        

 

 

 

 

Text Box: Wow is right.  The Adagio Jr’s deliver a full-range sound.  They are awesomely dynamic, yet non-fatiguing to the ear.  Being easy on the eyes and incredibly versatile, spousal approval is no problem. Adagio Jr’s go anywhere.  Use three of them for your LCR front speakers in your home theater, or two of them as a stand-alone two-channel speaker system.  Five Adagio Jr’s would make for an unbelievably good home theater speaker system.  Or how about a mix?  Use the floor standing version for your left and right front speakers and the Jr’s for center and surround to take it up a notch even higher. Great sound, great looks, from a great company—you’ll want to include these exceptional speakers on your very short list of loudspeakers. Call us or come in today!  Experience for yourself the Acoustic Zen Adagio Jr’s!  (And bring the wife.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Text Box: “I was so amazed by the the performance of the the Adagios that I didn’t hesitate to nominate them with a Most Wanted COMPONENT AWARD.” Craig Fitzpatrick, The Stereo Times

Text Box: We kid you not!  This solid state amp is one you must hear to believe.  If you can’t make the leap to a more expensive really good tube amp, yet you still want a smooth, well-textured musical presentation, and you don’t want to spend $5,000 or more to get it, this Operetta amp is the one for you.  It is stunning!  This beautifully built amp, at just $999 for the 2-channel version, is worthy of serious consideration regardless of what you have been considering for a new amp.   The Operetta is here for only a short time.  Give us a call today, and give it your toughest, most discriminating audition.  You be the judge.

Text Box: Arcam is truly the music first company from the UK.  They make some of the most musical receivers, integrated amps and CD players that you’ll find in the arena of affordable high-performance audio and AV gear.  They’ve just introduced a number of new products and we’re closing out our existing demo units to make room!  Great prices, great gear, great company and, at these prices, GREAT deals!  The P1000 is a 7 channel amp that delivers an honest 135 watts per channel into 8 ohm loudspeakers.  That’s with all channels driven across the full audio spectrum at incredibly low distortion levels.  This amp is virtually bullet-proof and sounds every bit as good with music as it does with the most challenging home theater production.  This is a current production unit that sells for $2,499.  We’re offering our demo unit (with full factory warranty) at the very excellent price of $1,899. The Arcam DV79 is a sweetheart with both movies and CD music.  It also plays the high-resolution DVD-A audio disks.  It is a progressive scan player with HDMI output.  It was a great player at its retail price of $1,699.  We’re selling this fully warranted demo unit at the ridiculously low price of just $699.  For a high-end music and movie player of this caliber, that’s a real deal. Finally, we have the very popular CD73T CD player available.  It sold new for $749.  We’re letting our demo unit go for just $449.  You really should hear this unit.  This level of performance for this much money is rare indeed.
