Posted on Chase BradshawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible Experience – Top-Notch Products & Service! I recently purchased a 5.1 surround sound system featuring Paradigm speakers and a Sony receiver from Channels AV Store, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! From start to finish, the team at Channels AV was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about home audio. This is Phase 1 of a much larger project—remodeling and creating my dream smart home with a theater, whole-home audio, and full smart home control. The team has been extremely helpful in designing the future state, offering valuable insights and expertise. It has been such a joy to hear music and movies the way they were meant to be experienced. The Paradigm speakers deliver breathtaking clarity, and even the basic sub packs impressive lows. Paired with the Sony receiver, the system creates a truly immersive home theater experience. Beyond the products, the customer service was outstanding. Eric and Kenneth have gone above and beyond, taking the time to answer all my (many!) questions with patience and expertise. Their dedication to customer satisfaction truly sets them apart. If you're looking for high-quality audio equipment and top-tier service, Channels AV Store is the place to go! I highly recommend them to anyone serious about home entertainment.Posted on Paul O'DeaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Channels AV team was truly outstanding throughout our movie room installation. They meticulously planned the installation, ordered the appropriate equipment and even when a huge problem presented, worked through it professionally and efficiently to my complete satisfaction. I would highly recommend their services.Posted on Mike ZTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you live in Tahoe or Northern Nevada Channels AV and it’s owner John Sien is your absolute best choice for AV and high end audio. They have been there for me for over a decade, fully wiring and setting up my incredible home theatre at very reasonable prices, and they are always there in an instant when I have had the occasional hiccups. Every time I get a case of upgradeitis, they have a solution, from the amazing Magnepans I bought to the incredible Hegel amp (which they started carrying just because I asked about it!) to the spectacular Sony 85” TV they gave me a great deal on. They seem way more interested in customer satisfaction than they do in making a big profit. Just this past Saturday, I had my home network go down (user error!) and some of my equipment lost their remote settings. I texted Kenneth and Eric and 10 minutes later my problems were solved! Keep up the great work guys!Posted on Zach Van HeestTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John is the MAN! I've never experienced customer service like he provides before. If you listen to vinyl you need to check out channelsPosted on Steven VercelliniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beyond superior. Extraordinary! Product, customer service, installation all over and above expectation. Really good people. Cannot more highly recommend.Posted on Paul MunseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We're very pleased with our purchase of an 85" Sony television. John is an expert in his field and is obviously passionate about his profession. He genuinely enjoys helping his customers and answering any questions. It's such a pleasure working with someone who loves what he does.

I had an issue with tuning my system, and within the hour, they sent a tech who resolved my problem. Highly recommend!!Posted on John F.Verified John is an incredible resource and takes the time to demo his best of breed product lines including Magnepan which I purchased. It is difficult to find a place to actually hear speakers in Reno. If you are an audiophile look no further. John can explain the history of each manufacturer and what unique technologies each brings to the table. He knows or has met many of the top audio system designers and engineers so you are close to the source. I almost didn't get past the entry level Paradigms which crushed my system. If you are looking to reduce the distortion from your musical listening experience and get connected emotionally again to your tunes, call him.Posted on Paul T.Verified While looking for service on piece of gear I recently purchased used off Craigslist, the manufacturer linked me to Channels AV. I walked in and was extremely pleased with the demeanor and professionalism. John recommended a place in L.A. and I am very pleased with the results, so much so that I returned and purchased some new gear from him. I should explain that I was in the business back in the 70's and have found few establishments (and people) with the knowledge and pleasant attitude and simple helpfulness that John provides. A real gem!Posted on Elizabeth W.Verified Channels AV helped me out on installing a new surround system I had purchased. They were amazing! They got a technician out on very short notice & were able to get my system up & going. They were also great when I had a follow up question a few days later. Their customer service was ABOVE & BEYOND. When I got the invoice, it was consistent with what they quoted me & very fair. Whether you are buying your own equipment or considering theirs, I can't recommend them enough!Posted on Ravi D.Verified John brings along lot of seasoned expertise. I was pleasantly surprised someone, power house of knowledge, was right here in Reno,Nevada. I had moved from SFO in Dec 2015 and was so amazed to find such expertise right here. I run a pretty high end system with decent complexity. Hi-Fi Speaker System / Parasound Power Amp / Marantz SR6010 for Home theatre with Dolby Atmos. John not only cleared out the muddy waters on my mind, but took time to run me through the Calibration process AND explaining the details so effortlessly. After he was done calibrating it was a joy to hear the Music and Movies.Posted on Joe W.Verified I had John calibrate my Panasonic ZT60 65 inch plasma and just couldn't be happier. I had the full service done and the picture is just as good as it can be. Much different experience than pre calibration. Colors perfect, rich deep vibrant. John has high equipment and the background and knowledge to apply that to the service.. I couldn't be happier with the result. Well worth the cost in my humble opinion...

Very high expectations constantly exceeded!
People tend to say I’m discerning which I’m not sure is fair given I think something stronger would be more accurate. In the last couple of years I’ve interviewed or worked with over a dozen contractors and from our first listening visit to Channels, they have clearly been in a league of their own! While we had initially only planned to purchase a sound system, we’ve added a movie room, network, cameras, and anytime something new comes up Channels is our first stop (even if we’re not sure it’s something they do).
The listening studio at the Channels office is truly top notch and when it comes down to selection and detail, John, Kenneth, and Eric are very knowledgeable and skilled thought partners willing to either make quick selections or go down deep wormholes (our default) to get the absolutely perfect solution. The installation experiences we’ve had have also been excellent on all fronts — efficiency, care for the house, punctuality. They have also always been very fair on pricing. However, and perhaps most importantly, is that this whole team has a very high level of integrity. In any house project there are bound to be some hiccups but one of the major Channels differentiators from other companies is that they were always very transparent and had very fair solutions ready. I can’t stress enough how different and appreciated this is!
I tend to be hesitant to recommend someone unless everything is truly excellent but with Channels I don’t hesitate for a second. I’d recommend them for everything they do and if you’re not sure, give them a call or stop by the office — you’ll likely notice the difference immediately.
If only all professional services were this good!
Channels installed a new surround sound system in our home. From initial product selection to installation and calibration, this company has been the best I have ever dealt with. John provides masterful product knowledge, and Kenneth is a master installer. Both men are kind, patient, and highly skilled at their trade. All I can say is choose this company. You will not regret it!
