I first visited Altronics Stereo 2000 in Toronto a few months back on a whim. While the store is unassuming on the outside, when you get in, it is a hi-fi paradise. The store is a magical place filled with some of the finest components I’ve ever seen, shelved floor to ceiling. I’ve been shopping for hi-fi since I was a teenager and I’ve never experienced anything like Altronics. I only wish I had discovered them sooner.
Ron and Rob know their stuff and helped me downsize my large tube amp to a Bryston B60 integrated that is more suitable to the scale of our family room. It is the best sound I’ve heard in my home. Although the B60 is the entry level Bryston, it does exactly what it is suppose to do: switch sources and raise and lower the volume without adding any colour of its own. The built in phono stage is fabulous too - competing well against others costing much more.
I would have never thought of Bryston without the guidance of Ron and Rob. In this day and age were so much hi-fi is being sold on line by people who appear to know little about what they are selling, it is refreshing to work with a local dealer who has a passion for what they sell and a love of the community they serve.
