What Clients Say?
My family recently moved to a beautiful house ... that was built in 1890. Ephraim led a project to install modern ethernet, WiFi, ceiling mounted speakers, and a home theater system with a laser projector into our vintage house. He started out by listening to our needs and helping us formulate a plan that made sense for our house. He proceeded to do a great job on all the work, completing it on time and under the budget we had initially estimated. He also managed to install everything with minimal damage to the original hand carved woodwork that is present throughout the house. (You wouldn't believe the places he and his team crawled into to make this happen.) Six months later everything is working like a charm and we couldn't be happier. If you need a custom home audio / home theater / networking job, call Ephraim and Stereophonic Audio! You will not be disappointed."

I highly recommend Ephraim for your audio/visual needs. He is extremely knowledgeable in the area of audio/video equipment. Ephraim has done a fantastic job in creating a great A/V center for my living room and bedroom, including a plasma TV on the wall complete with a 5.1 system. He has done all of this so neatly, you cannot see any wires or loose items. He is the MOST meticulous and hard-working individual I have ever contracted to do anything for me. As far as I am concerned, if I were to ever move to another state, I will pay to fly him to my home to install and hook-up all of my electronic equipment.

_Stereophonic Audio and Ephraim Edwards were simply outstanding from beginning to end for the home theater they created for my family. Ephraim was extremely helpful during the planning phase where he answered all of my questions and directed me to the perfect system. He was very knowledgeable about the myriad of products that are out and wasn't interested in trying to sell me the most expensive items. Ephraim was meticulous with the installation and worked seamlessly with the contractors. Then, after everything was installed, he came back and spent time explaining everything and making sure I understood the various features of the system. Additionally, everything looks great!! Our system includes 7 ADS speakers, Sony 50 inch DLP TV, a Sherwood Newcastle Receiver and Home Theater Master MX500 Universal Remote.
