    Tyler and Dana set a very high bar for customer service and run an operation with high integrity. Jay you did a mighty fine job showcasing their operation and highlighting what makes the business unique among others. The passion comes through loud and clear from everyone involved in this production!

    Next Level, Tyler and Team are the real deal! I bought a pair of Dynaudio's form Tyler when Next Level was operated out of his home in the Milwaukee Suburbs in roughly 2008. I had spoken to him a few times but had not kept in real touch. In 2022 at AXPONA I visited his room and he remembered me by full name on sight without introduction and even what I had bought. A true representative of service... It's fantastic so see their well earned success.

    The Meuller’s are beautiful people of principle, Jay. Thank you for showcasing them.
    Engineering on this level, sells itself. It needs no middle-man effort whatsoever to convince a would-be buyer at all. There are music listeners who enjoy Bose clock-radios background ambiance, and there are music lovers who demand full-frequency concert sessions that can, in SOME instances, last a full 72 hours, or possibly longer, on flagship, statement units THAT WILL OBLIGE e v e n
    longer! (You’ll give-in WELL before they will) as testament to their greatness, IN that engineering!

    It's a great audio store, I bought used borresen speaker's from one of their clients, & they brokered the deal, service was excellent all the way to california , they even followed up a year later to see if I wanted to upgrade the drivers, first class store. Even their used inventory is great. Great video Jay.

    Jay needs to visit one more store in the midwesr called "the sound environment ". They are located in Omaha, Nebraska. They have been around fo decades. They have an amazing owner and staff and have one of the best listening rooms in the Midwest. I forgot to mention that they are also a premiere Wilson and Rockport dealer. The owner just happens to own the same Rockport speakers that you currently own. Could be interesting.

      Hi, there are plenty stores in the vicinity to you which are selling the fun stuff from AGD. I bought all my stuff from them in the nearfield of Munich, of course they don´t have all bits and pieces in their shelves but the most important like the X and the Z series. If you are interessted in the more expensive things from them there is a way for shure, to have a listen to them.

    Jay... you editor needs to learn how to do sequence editing. Your initial cut shot b-roll is out of sequence. You don't just throw shots together because you like a shot. There has to logical motivation to it. Also need to keep an eye on way too much headroom on much of your interviews. Shoot and insert more interesting tight & medium shots of the equipment you are referring to. Viewers get tired of talking heads! You can do better. You need to have a shoot & edit plan of attack when producing a 40+ min video to separate yourself from other average videos on the tube.
