Hello
The purpose of my email is to commend my experience with Ellie R to you.
This week was my first experience with AV Australia and Ellie is an excellent ambassador for your company.
To give you some background. We had a client give us practically no notice of 2 particular projector requirements for which we would require 2 x SL-712 lenses. Not a problem if anyone had any!
I emailed 4 companies across Australia (we are based in Launceston), the first to respond was Ellie, one other company (who had no stock) and no response from the 2 others.
The awesome thing was Ellie did some research and came up with a stepped plan after I'm sure a fair bit of hassle on her part and the lenses are now due to be delivered her on Monday. She grasped my problem, did what she said she would do (something fairly uncommon these days) and solved a problem I wished I didn't have.
As one of the owners of E.A., its always refreshing to find another company with staff that we can depend on. I like to think its important that when we receive good service we also say so.
Thank you and I look forward to doing business with you again.
Kind regards,
Joe M.

Glen’s up for a challenge! *insert 5 stars*
ordered had ceased production, with none remaining in his stock inventory. Discovering the hard way how poor, audio sites are at updating their stock level information. I soon found out that none existed in anyone’s inventory, as I ordered it through no less than 47 on-line locations over the course of a week. Budgetary constraints made it all the more challenging, given the intended destination of the unit was the bedroom of nine year old siblings, with their parents tasking me the objective of acquiring reasonable hi fi components with only $1500 to play with.
AV Australia with Glen at the helm, were primarily the only audio avenue across the entire country who were interested enough to find me an alternative that met my requirements, with pleasant and helpful email correspondence throughout the exercise. And as the model offered was in the studio/broadcast line of products, I didn’t even have to make compromises on quality, making me an extremely happy customer. AV Australia is undoubtedly the place I’ll go, if ever I’m configuring modestly priced hi-fi set ups in the future.

Dear Sir.
Re Glen C.
We have just purchased after a week of negotiations four items from your company.
We have dealt with Glen C and wish to place on record that he has been exceedingly helpful and diligent in helping us to make the right decisions for our needs; his advice on the equipment has been delivered in a courteous and respectful manner. His customer service has been excellent and he has been prompt in replying and telephoning.
We are very happy with the deal that has been done and believe that we could not have achieved the same without Glen’s assistance and knowledge.
We will not have any hesitation in recommending him to others that we many know here in WA that are in the market for the type of products that your company deals in.
Looking forward to now enjoying the items purchased.
Yours faithfully
M. & J. P. – Perth WA

Product and service both excellent.
I spoke with AV Australia to ask a specific question regarding application and suitability of another set of speakers. The person I spoke with suggested Swans M50W 2 .1 system. The speakers being replaced with the Swans system was purchased without subwoofer and specifically for relatively low level music in a small office environment. I was assured that the Swans system would suit the application.
The speakers were dispatched promptly and arrived in Perth typically slowly (a relatively inconsequential issue of living in the most isolated city).
I’ve read reviews about un-boxing the speakers and was as impressed as many of those whose views appear on various forums.
Initially though, I’m going to use this term from another reviewer; I was a little underwhelmed by the sound.
Many people have indicated improvements over the suggested burn-in (or whatever the technical term is); between 50 and 100 hours. This is not an exaggeration. I’ve had the speakers running for just over a week now; all day every weekday and some of the weekend. The difference now is dramatic. As another reviewer has indicated, this could be my ears getting used to the sound. I don’t think so. In fact, I don’t think that is the case at all. The speakers today sound excellent. I don’t doubt that they will sound better in a week.
The subwoofer is not silly and seems well matched. Regardless of base being non-directional, position does affect the result. I don’t have the subwoofer on the floor but it is under my (stand-up) desk. The sound is much better as I move away from my desk. That is not to say I am at all disappointed; I’m actually very impressed.
This relates to another issue; satellite speaker position on the desk. The speakers being replaced were creative T 40s. These are tall and direct the sound towards the ear. This is not the case with the Swans satellite speakers. After a week of use, I tilted the speakers back by between 10 and 12 mm. The difference was dramatic. So, over the weekend just gone, I’ve constructed a couple of speaker stands. Again a noticeable difference.
So for best results, be patient and allow the speakers to burn in. And position the satellites to direct music towards your ear. I am a novice here, but all of the comments on the forums from people in the know about speaker positioning should not be underestimated if you want to achieve good results.
As a novice, I’m not going to describe the sound from the system as other more knowledgeable people seem to have done a good job on various forums. What I can use that I am very happy indeed with the purchase, and with the service from AV Australia.
Thank you!

Resi-linx went perfectly. Had a really good experience buying from you guys. Mike (from memory) who helped me put together the package was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I recommended you to a friend who bought a digital projector who was also very happy.

I received the Onkyo 6 disc carousel here on the Gold Coast less than 24 hours after ordering it from you online.
That is first class service and I commend you on your efficiency.
It will be a pleasure to tell one and all how impressed I am with your products, range and service.

Received the order today and just wanted to thank you for the excellent service. Have been dealing with a few online companies lately and they have not come anywhere near the service you offer, the speed at which you responded to emails and phone calls is outstanding. The delivery was so fast and the product is great, just gave it a test run and everything works well. Will definitely tell others about your service.
Thank you again.
