K & W Audio

I just recently moved back to Calgary and was looking for a company to reinstall my Control 4 system. I also needed some new equipment. I searched K&W and went to see them. James was excellent. He genuinely cared about me and sold me what I needed not what he needed to sell to make maximum commission, like one commonly experiences at some larger chain places. He was honest with me and I now have an excellent home theatre system that fits my needs. Chris who did the installation was nothing short of brilliant. You can definitely tell that he has been doing this for a long time and knows his stuff. When James and Chris came to my home and installed they were respectful, knowledgeable and efficient. I can't say enough about these guys and this company. 5 stars for sure. I would recommend them 10 out of 10 times. They definitely back up what they advertise. Thanks again James and Chris. Regards, B. Schmidt

100 Stars! Gobsmacked, blown away, astonished, awestruck, are only a few of the adjectives I could use to describe the musicality of my new audio components. I literally spent half the money I thought necessary to get this quality of sound. I have been a loyal customer of K&W Audio for 25+ years. Being a bit of an audiophile I do look at other shops however, the things that strike me about K&W are their maturity and longevity, passion for the business, integrity of their business, their willingness to acknowledge me, listen to my desires, share their knowledge, help me grow my enthusiasm, and their skilful and seasoned ability to stay on top of the industry. In all those years I’ve never left K&W without being a wiser and happier music lover, and neither have any of my friends. Whatever budget you have established for yourself, K&W has the quality product to satisfy your audio or video desires. My last purchase just pushed me over the wall, I seriously could not be more ecstatic. Few events in my life have made me happier than upgrading my stereo components over the years at K&W; and having passed my 60 year mark, you know those events can become few and far between. Now the oldest audio video store in Calgary, and having been around for decades, K&W Audio has my sincere respect in how they operate their business and treat me as a customer. Thank you Darren. Well done. One very happy customer. Ron

I had my first experience at K&W a couple weeks back and will now count myself among K&W's loyal clientele. I was looking for a new Integrated Amp and Andrew spent almost 2 hours discussing the options within my budget, chatting about speakers (future upgrade) and options for new wiring for my speakers. In the end I ended up with an amp that I just couldn't be happier with and new speaker wiring (terminated for me by Andrew), but most importantly I have a new trusted advisor on all of my future purchases. I also had a call from Andrew the following day to check on how the setup went and ensure that I was happy with the amp. Truly first class client service! Thanks for everything Andrew and K&W, you have a client for life!

I inadvertently started a home theater project through a neighbor that introduced me to Trevor at K&W. My neighbor has used K&W for years and raved about them. The difference between myself & my neighbor, is I wanted a quality theater on a 'reasonable' budget - but had to have quality and exceptional performance. Trevor is truly passionate, available pretty much 24/7 (his poor wife and kids!) with no up-sell or hard sell. Just advice. Sometimes biased but based on lot's of experience. In the end - it was my decision. He was factual and guided me (especially with trade-offs) to a finished product that has clearly 'exceeded my expectations'. I have a spectacular Home Theater and In an 'open room concept' (not in a dedicated theater room) and installed in an already finished basement. They were able to run cables seamlessly, invisibly, without requiring wallboard repair etc. Amazing. Some key leanings for me: 1. Projector AND Screen are equally important for picture quality. Do not skimp on screen. Trust their advice. 2. People will tell you not to do a 'projector and screen', rather, just do a large TV. Usually an 82 inch TV is as large as you can get before you get into a $30K++ TV. I went with a 130 inch Stewart CIMA Screen - NO REGRETS. Picture is unbelievable. Despite what your spouse may say - size does matter - it's what truly makes it a theater - you are immersed into the room - the movie, the concert - a true get away that makes the room a completely different space from other rooms with TVs in them. 3. I'd like to think I am a bit of a handy guy - I love technology & electronics. K&W let me help (save some money) and do things, buy 'some' equipment and accessories on my own (save a little money) and not be 'hands off'. Probably drove them crazy - but they were great. 4. Yes, K&W probably does home theaters from $100K to $1M, but they will also work with you on a budget to come up with a great home theater Even $10K - $30K. Great team - very passionate - highly recommend them. Finished product is exceptional! Dave

Great knowledge and service. They tweaked our Control4Home system very nicely!
