I drove from Venice FL to Audio Workshop in Bradenton to drop off and pick up my vintage JBL speakers for repairs. Their excellent service and quality work made the trip well worth the time and travel. Vincent was helpful, friendly, very knowledgeable, and it became obvious that he regards quality above all else. He replaced the surrounds in both woofers, taking care that they were perfectly centered. He used the correct glue, and gave it time to cure unmoved in the proper position. In the process of the repairs he noticed a small crack in one of the mid-range speakers and repaired it free of charge. When I picked the speakers up, he played them for me in the store, and they sounded great. He even loaded them into my car.

   Read moreWe moved from Tampa to Bradenton and needed to have someone very experienced set up my home entertainment system. Since I had an Anthem (Canadian) receiver, I wanted someone familiar with that system. I also needed to purchase and install some rear speakers and wanted Paradigm speakers. I initially spoke with Mario and he coordinated the process and provided consultation when needed. Josh came and expertly connected all the components and speakers.

I have no hesitation in giving Audio Workshop, Mario and Josh my highest...

I talked with Vincent and we discussed performing a complete reconditioning. I agreed to having the work done. A few weeks later, the work was completed. I went to the shop and Vincent had the unit connected and ready for a listen. Sounded incredible and far exceeded all expectations. Clean, punchy, powerful, and dynamic. I thought that perhaps the amazing dynamics had something to do with the speakers that were at the shop, so I was eager to get the unit home and connect it with my own equipment. Well I'm ecstatic about how the system performs. I now spend way too much time listening to all genres of music on this incredible system. Just about everything sounds better. I'm rediscovering my vinyl collection. Thank you...
