Medyo swerte pa ata ako sa mga shops so far. Most are helpful, wala naman bastos pero meron mga indifferent.
I've never had issues with Spectra. Mababait mga staff at mayari, at very willing to let you get your hands on the merchandise and/or hear them. Hinahatid pa yung gamit sa parking maski na kaya ko naman buhatin.
AVShop ok din, Mark even personally delivered my towers. The shop is still a work in progress, pero very accomodating yung staff at affordable yung prices.
5th Ave. mas kokonti yung brands, pero ok din. Sa Trinoma branch ako pumupunta kasi maliit na branch lang, very personal ang service. They also followup, nagtatanong kamusta na yung item na nabili sa kanila and ano feedback ko. I never had a problem sa Park Square, Shang and SM North branches nila.
Audible Illusions, very knowledgeable and friendly si Ashley. He went out of his way to present different items and play various genres of music. Mukhang magaling din sila with custom installs. I won't hesitate to buy from them.
Paradigm and Sights and Sounds helpful din mga tao. Sa S&S maski palagi marami tao, they try to give you some attention. Marami rin available units for audition.
Si Mr. Dy (Audio Visual Driver) very helpful din, and even played yung nice TT setup niya sa loob ng demo room maski obviously di ko afford ang mga gamit nun hahaha. Chorus lang nga tinitignan ko eh. Yung mga tao nya sa shops are also well trained and are accomodating.
Yung sa Listening in Style sa Shang, hindi ko alam yung name ng nag-assist sakin... pero I get what you guys mean na parang duda kung bibili ka ang tingin sayo. Though I had very good experience dun sa Listening Room branch sa Mega at yung sa Eastwood.
Watt HiFi has very good prices dun sa products na dala nila. Hindi masyado marami brands na dala nila, but they have well-priced goods, saka helpful yung staff nung nagpunta kami. Medyo out of the way lang nga yung MCS.
Audio Amplified: helpful si Noel medyo napaaga lang ata yung dating namin kaya di pa sila prepared. Next time text muna ako before heading over. He has good demo systems set up for listening.
AMX Shop (di ko alam name) saka yung isang shop sa ground floor dun sa Robinsons Pioneer, parehong tag isa lang ata staff. Wala rin kasing floor traffic, though helpful naman yung tao sa loob. Medyo kulang yung facility for me, kulang sa seats at display.
Theater Works sa Trinoma palagi ata kasi maraming tao, feeling ko ignored ako pag pumupunta ako. One time wala gaano tao so I tried my luck. I asked about a pair of mission towers at denon receiver, parang hindi sila willing iparinig. I asked kung pwede marinig, ang response eh yung soundbar daw kasi yung nakakabit kaya di tumutunog yung towers.
Sa Avesco medyo deadma din mga tao, though they will assist you if you ask. I guess hindi kasi targeted sa retail buyer ang shop nila. I don't like the fact na lagi sila sarado at kokonti yung selection (lunch break, weekends, etc.), pero they have good discounts sa Marantz at Mordaunt.
