    Representative of business was rude and insulting. When asked about an item I needed for my home stereo system, I was told that nobody uses that equipment. That statement is untrue. Bizarre experience. Representative continued how her husband acquired the for a client and it was a disaster. Having been in the business that uses this kind of equipment for 30 years, the information and experiences I was told completely misrepresented the facts.

    Tall tale from a customer that nobody wants. An incident report was filed with police on site because of your refusal to leave the store. Your statements are untrue and opposite, as you used crude names and were extremely condescending with a strong air of superiority. Come again and police said you will be trespassed

    As you can see from the response to my complaint, this company continues to be rude and insulting. Plus, a new threat.
    I came to the store to purchase equipment for my rebuilt music room.
    Funny, the professional companies who sell quality equipment have been very accommodating and actually wanted my business. I purchased several pieces of equipment,
    I consider myself knowledgeable about audio and. video, having built systems with equipment that had an "A" rating according to Stereophile magazine.
    Sadly, this person or persons of Excite feel that this is "superiority".
    The response is representative of the treatment that I experienced in their store.

    There is no threat, just the fact that police have your information because of the unstable way you conducted yourself. Refusing to leave a store and calling the person swear words is sufficient for me to not want you as a customer. If you treated other store owners the way you treated me, I suspect you'd not be wanted by them either. I'm here to serve, but not people like you.

    I drove to your store in order to replace a system that was lost in a house fire.
    I asked if your store sold turntables. The information provided by your company representative was that nobody uses turntables anymore. That your store hadn't sold turntables for eight years but her husband can order turntables from vendors. She also said that the transaction was a disaster. I asked what was the brand and was told Denon. I told your wife that I had owned a Denon direct drive turntable in the past and asked if you could get a Linn turntable. No answer from your wife. Asked about amplifiers, and she pointed to an Acurus Amp on the floor . I am familiar with that brand.
    I could go on about the lack of customer service and product knowledge, but no worries , I have no reason to return to your store .
    However, your continued insults and misrepresentation of the facts in these responses shows the lack of professionalism I experienced in your store.
    Btw, I bought a turntable and speakers from other shops that sell to "people like me ".

    Awesome! I'm glad you found what you were looking for from someone you were undoubtedly nicer to. The fact remains you were rude, calling me names and refused to leave the premises and the police found enough cause to serve you a trespass notice if a visit were made in the future. Keep in mind, I do have security cameras, with audio, in the store. Glad no one has to worry about any future interactions with you.
