Today’s date is 6/30/19. This is a review of my experience with Dave Shore during construction of a music room in my basement during the fall of 2018. Overall: it was a fantastic experience. When I suggested a music room in my basement, he guided me through room design, size, and dimensions, materials for walls, ceiling, and floor, lighting, colors, and even pictures to hang on the walls after the room was complete. Cost: less expensive than other commercial builders. Why? He does the labor himself and works very efficiently. He suggested we hand-build acoustic panels, which saved several hundred dollars. Dave’s estimate of the amount of materials needed was close to perfect, with little waste. Quality: unbelievable. My music room is a place of beauty, and I’m not exaggerating. Dave does high-quality work, with attention to minute detail. Dave has an “eye” for interior design, both in rough form and finishing details (As a bonus, Dave’s wife appreciates interior design and made additional helpful suggestions). Dave worked very professionally, arrived on time, and kept the workplace tidy throughout the project. Examples: Dave suggested we add a stained-glass window, lit by a back light. I would never have considered stained-glass, but it is a striking addition! For doors, he built a sliding track barn door to enter the room and a hidden, built-in door to allow entrance to the furnace. Custom track lighting, with contrasting shade colors and adjustable light intensity, were suggested and added another level of cool. Sound: my wish was to create a room that would allow my two-channel stereo to sound its best. We succeeded. I look forward to my listening time, and the beauty of the room plays a part.

My best recommendation for working with Dave, is to follow his suggestions. Allow Dave to help you create a masterpiece. You will be pleased with his work!

Sincerely, Mike...

David Shore, of Audio Art fame, is, in a word, amazing: Not only is he incredibly collegial (one of the nicest business owners we’ve had the pleasure of working with), he is also incredibly knowledgeable about all things sound system and TV. He is technologically brilliant. His knowledge of the technology of sound and sound systems is unequalled and unparalleled (are those the same thing?). He could make a square peg fit into a round hole—he is that innovative and thoughtful about any challenge of space and installation. He is very helpful and patient, taking time to explain and to answer all questions that we, not at all tech savvy, had at each step of the work he did for us. We first contacted Dave several years ago to install a sound system in a home we bought in Vermont. He was willing to go to Vermont to look at the space before making suggestions about what we might need. He made subsequent trips for installation and tweaking. David is always so thoughtful about everything he does. He clearly loves what he does. He was so helpful to us. On a couple occasions, he arranged for us to try out two different products at home so that we could decide which would be the best for us in situ. Dave and Audio Art are simply the best. You’ve been lucky enough in your Google search on sound systems to get here to Audio Art. Look no further. You won’t find anyone better. Give Dave a call. And ask him about the outdoor speakers he sold us. ...

If there were six stars I'd give them to Dave, Justin, and Audio Art. Dave worked hand in hand with me over the course of a few months to put together my dream system. He is extremely knowledgeable and full of great suggestions. He looked at the room where the system would be placed, and helped tailor it to a perfect entertainment setup. Not only are their systems and components TOP quality, but they are packed with value. Way more so than the big box stores or internet vendors. I paid good money, yes, but the VALUE I received for this curated system is off the charts. I could have paid twice what I paid and not ended up with as good a system. This setup is great for critical listening; music concerts; DVD's; sports; movies, you name it, this system will give you a 10/10 experience. Dave and Justin (a master electrician) are also skilled artisans; they helped procure and install barnboard on my back wall; hardwired an internet connection for the system so no wifi delays; installed a power plug in the floor; they can do everything and they do it top shelf. Total one stop shopping. They even worked hand in hand with my wife's interior decorator to incorporate the system into our family room. Can't recommend them...
