Meet the Business Owner

Chris L.

Business Owner

Chris Livengood started in hifi as an enthusiast in 2001. Later upon leaving the consumer electronics world and a career in SFX and beauty makeup he was lucky enough to get a position in sales at one of the best hifi shops in the world, AudiovisionSF! This allowed him the unique chance to learn from industry professionals and consumers alike while auditioning hundred of different brands, setting up demos for all different kinds of listeners. Upon returning home in 2008 to spend more time with his family he decided to open his own stereo shop with his twin brother, Blake Stewart and so… well… that’s what they did! Thanks to an awesome, dedicated group of customers we are still in business today and growing all the time!
