Review of Carlton Audio Service

I have purchased a few things here over the years but as someone who used to work in the industry years ago I have now found this to be the only old style still somewhat idealistic shop in Melbourne and thank heaven there still is one.

I have never felt pressure to buy and have always been given good prices without the usual charade bargaining dance. There are other good individual salesmen in other shops but no shops with this kind of laid back enthusiast feel.

Then there are some dreadful salesmen and shops, two not so far from CAV where I simply can't bring myself to shop.

Anyway there are some downsides at CAV. The listening areas are not the best and although they have a very good range they don't have all the stuff I am interested in. However if I can I will always buy from them because the patience with which they allow me to work out what truly works for me means I am far more likely to end up what's right for me which makes the process far more relaxed and enjoyable.
