Steve and Dave Kennedy, co-owners of JS Audio, grew up hearing live music. Their father was a professional musician. Most weekends, they watched—and listened—as their father's band set up for a concert. The sound of real musicians playing in a specific place formed an indelible aural reference, which continues to form the basis for their evaluation of reproduced music today. The brothers found a natural home at JS Audio. When they joined Joe Stromick, the founder of JS Audio, they were instantly immersed in a close-knit audio community, which consisted of a loyal clientele and the premium audio manufacturers who shared Joe's values. When it came for Joe to pass the torch to new caretakes of the community he'd built, Steve and Dave were a natural choice. Please celebrate with us as Dave and Steve début the Chronosonic XVX for the Washington DC area.

Elliot Fishkin, the founder and principal of Innovative Audio, has been involved in the audio industry in the New York City area for over four decades. Elliot's first store in Brooklyn was a direct reflection of his passion for designing music reproduction systems with the ability to transport the listener to the recorded event. In his latest store, located in Manhattan, he has pushed that idea to further extremes. Five years ago, Elliot assigned architect and Director of Projects, Chris Forman, to design and build the best sounding—and the most beautiful—soundrooms in Innovative's long history. Together, they've created a comfortable and relaxed gathering place where Innovative's loyal clientele can see and hear the best gear in the world. Please celebrate with us as they launch Wilson's flagship, the Chronosonic XVX.

Like all successful specialty businesses, Audio Advisors was born from passion. In the early eighties, Jeff Hoover and his best friend were obsessed with building the best audio systems in their cars. They entered their creations into competitions. When it became apparent that their only real competition was each other, they turned their intensity into a business model, opening a custom mobile audio sales and installation shop in West Palm Beach, Florida. Five years later, they expanded into home electronics. Today, Audio Advisors is one of the most successful and well-respected organizations in the fields of mobile audio, custom installation, and high-end audio. Their high-end audio retail store is managed by industry veteran Rudi Kothe, who, during the 1980s, displayed and sold the earliest version of Wilson Audio's WAMM in his shop in Westchester, NY. Please celebrate with us the latest chapter of Audio Advisors’ rich history—the addition of the Wilson Audio Chronosonic XVX to their showroom.

As the name of their store suggests, Jae Wheeler and Hugh Fountain built Music Lovers on a foundation of their mutual love of music. Jae’s family wanted him to study engineering in college, but he secretly wished he could major in music. Hugh discovered a passion for jazz while still in High School, where a thoughtful and talented teacher mentored him. In the late 1980s, the two young men met at a record store where Hugh was working. It quickly became apparent to Jae that Hugh was remarkably knowledgeable and insightful on the topics of music and the sound of audio equipment. They began discussing the possibility of working together. In 1989, Jae and Hugh established their first audio shop in Berkeley, California. Since then, their passion for music, dedication to service, and their knowledge of the industry have served to make them the premier high-end audio retailer in the Bay Area, with stores in San Francisco and Berkeley. This video celebrates the addition of the Chronosonic XVX to the Berkeley location.
