Had a problem with running two 8-ohm JBL MR925 PA speakers on my Carver HR-895 receiver. Couldn't understand why it wasn't fully working and would completely shutdown on me. Took it in and found that my receiver was blown junk basically and couldn't run my speakers anyway well.

Hooked me up with a SAMSON Studio Amplifier 275 Watt Stereo: Servo - 550. (Power Amp) [$250] Along with a Bluetooth Receiver Converter [$60] so I could Bluetooth my phone, cords I needed, etc. $351.81 all n all.

Just hooked it up, runs great no loss of power. Only things the speakers have a slight humming buzz noise at lower volumes when powered but sound great loud, assuming the buzz is I need a better Aux cord mine's from Amazon lol. One speaker plays main audio, the other plays slight audio but mainly does the Bass notes. Idk if that's just combining channels issue or what, idk sound systems too much.

Fixed my main issue tho, I can finally listen to my music! Has massive heatsink on the back, will see how long in can run without getting too hot. Dave knew what he was looking for very fast, assuming was Dave, didn't have to wait long at all! Was out in like 10 minutes or so. Has all the cords n such you need. Lots of inventory probably anything you looking for they've got from power amps, preamps, converters, cords, speakers, subs, record players, seems like used things, but all good quality like-new.

I did a lot of research and know if you have limited space, some sound bars may be appropriate. After feeling ridiculed, I politely said thank you and walked out of the store. As I walked out, the owner proceeded to mock me, practically yelling at me says I was making a big mistake. I was getting into my car in the parking lot and he was still yelling at me. The biggest mistake I made was walking into this store expecting...

I've been shopping at Sounds by Dave for almost 30 years. Whenever I'm looking for a new piece of equipment (or a good used piece), I give them first shot at the sale. The salespeople are very knowledgeable, and if they don't know something they admit to it and try to find the answer. Have never felt pressure to buy. They've always given me a good price, but I'm also willing to spend a little more than I might via the web in order to support a local store and specialist. I admit that Dave himself can be an acquired taste, but if you don't try to b.s. him, he'll do what it takes to help a customer. He know a lot about A/V equipment and...
