Customer Feedback
The work they did on my Marantz 2275 was nothing short of miraculous. It looks and sounds better than when it was new 45 years ago. Their attention to detail and communication throughout the process was exceptional.
We hired NEONpulse to install a vintage-themed audio system in our new restaurant. They perfectly captured the 70s vibe we wanted while ensuring everything met code requirements. The system sounds amazing and has become a talking point for our customers.
Their home theater design perfectly integrated my vintage McIntosh components with modern 4K equipment. I'm enjoying the best of both worlds - warm analog sound with cutting-edge video. Worth every penny!
