Reference Audio

Music for Pleasure began and continues today as the St. Louis metropolitan area’s high performance audio destination. St. Louis Magazine and the Riverfront Times have been saying this for years. We travel the globe in search of the brands offering the most realistic music reproduction possible – from Germany, Great Britain, Denmark, the U.S. – wherever the search for Hi-Fidelity takes us.

What will you find that is different when you visit? First and foremost it’s our people. We have an intimate knowledge of how things work, and we educate our clients on how to make the best choices. Second, it’s our A/V partners.

Most of us have played musical instruments. It doesn’t matter what the audio magazine says, it’s how it sounds to our ears. Ordinarily, it’s not the A/V electronics company with the largest advertising budget, it’s the ones that promote through word-of-mouth. Frankly, many of our offerings come from companies you probably haven’t heard about.

Perhaps what is most unique is the combination of our team’s expertise and the partner brands we carry. It is a balanced chemistry. We bring an ear for, experience with, and a sense of how to combine the right amplifier, processors, loudspeakers, CD player, cable management system together with other electronics at an investment to suit our client’s tastes and budgets. It takes understanding of acoustics to balance the A/V systems for listening environments suited for your home. We are pleased when our clients tell us that taking the time to understand the big picture and the small nuances of such matters yields a return in their listening pleasure they didn’t imagine was possible.

This is what we do and relentlessly pursue.
