Mike Brya came to our house on a Saturday morning and listened to what we wanted to accomplish. My husband loves symphonic and classical music. He has a very good ear and wants to hear all the instruments and also wants it to sound like he's in a large performance venue. Mike checked out what we had and went down in the basement to analyze what installation issues might arise. He's very friendly and very easy to work with. He's an outstanding listener and doesn't just try to sell you something; his every suggestion was aimed at addressing our expressed concerns. He suggested we come to the store and listen to the various speaker options in a room dedicated to that kind of thing. We did that and were amazed at the variation in sound quality based on design of the products. My husband had no trouble choosing between the options. A few days later we rec'd an email from Mike outlining what new equipment we needed and how we might best utilize our existing equipment (we ended up getting rid of 2 huge speakers and keeping two smaller high quality speakers which we used to bump up the sound in an adjoining room). All the costs were provided up front in detail. The installation occurred about 10 days later (when our new speakers came in). Justin (or Jason?) arrived a little late (they called ahead to advise me of a snag) and got right to work. I was very impressed at his technical expertise and how nice he was. It was a complicated and time-consuming job due to our crazy crawl space and the structure of the rooms above. The installer was such a nice guy, I enjoyed having him there. Before he left he gave me a tutorial on how to use everything, esp the remote device which had confounded us prior to his visit. We are fussy about our music and the quality of sound as you can probably tell. I must say that Good Vibes met and exceeded our expectations....which is no small achievement. I strongly recommend them.
Description of Work: Came to our home; analyzed our existing sound system in relationship to room size and personal preferences; met with us at the store and allowed us to sample various speaker components; made recommendations based on our exact needs and preferences. Installed new speakers with sub-woofer.

We looked several places for a big screen TV but weren't impressed with what we saw in the 'big box' stores. We decided to see what Good Vibes had to offer. The TV we ultimately bought was a little more expensive than others we had looked at but had a much better picture and sound quality. The service tech (Jason) came out to our house to check the installation site to make sure the place we wanted the TV installed would be appropriate - we wanted to have the TV mounted on the wall above the fireplace. He gave us an estimate of approx 2 hours to complete the install. When Jason and Pat came to deliver and install the TV they found problems in the crawl space so it took them longer than they anticipated. They could have taken short cuts to finish the install but took the extra time to do it right. We are so pleased with the way the TV looks and the service we received. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to purchase a new TV.
Description of Work: We purchased a new TV - they delivered and professionally installed the TV for us. They ran the wires from the crawlspace behind the wall so that no power cables or cable lines are visible.

See above...
Description of Work: Had trouble with an expensive universal remote that worked TV and stereo in several rooms. I called on a Tuesday and when they did not show at the appointed time on Friday I called again. They could not find the order but were very apologetic and said they would try to get someone out that afternoon. They did arrive and saw that the wall mounted reception system was blinking and clearly not receiving signals from the remote when one asked to change components --- all of which I had known before. Individual said they would check some more sources and talk with other technicians at the store and get back to me. That was a week ago and there has been no contact. Unfortunately the one really good stereo/sound system store in town disappeared with the economy bust. I was reluctant to contact GV in the first place but there are few options in this town. Oh Well... will probably have to continue to work with them and try another call.

It's a TV, electronics and audio store in town. They will handle dish network services as well and they'll change your service for you and do installations. They are very knowledgeable and sharp about their equipment they are selling.
Description of Work: We had our dish network cable changed to high definition and we bought a TV. Good Vibes Sound hooked up the high definition to the television. We had this done in January.
