Disclaimer:  We are an authorized Stello/April Music dealer.

Hello all...The Stello line from April Music truly is incredible and should NOT sound as good as it does for the price.  The US distributor has been in this business for a LONG time (almost 30 years), and he doesn't pick up specific product lines unless they are very special.  We were the ones that pointed him in the direction of Stello when we first heard them (CES 2004), we also thought they were special products.  In addition, we have also recently added the new WEGG3 Stelar 1 speakers to our line-up, which happens to be an incredible match for the Stello products (the Stelar 1 speakers are the ones Stello used to show their products at CES and the HE show in New York).  Here is a link to info of the Stelar 1:

Anyway, we are dealers for these products, so of course take our opinion with a "grain of salt"  ;-)  As always, listen for yourself and do not let others tell you what is good or bad (including us).

Please do not hesitate to contact us if there are any questions.  Finally, we do not have the Stello products up on our website yet, but they will be up soon.

Hello Josh...We used to offer in-home demos to all of our customers, but sadly, after being burned a few times, no longer do so for those outside of our local area (50 miles).  It is the unfortunate situation of a few bad apples ruining it for the whole bunch.  We do allow 14 day in-home demos for our local customers, but not mail-order.  Sorry  :cry:

I should add that our ultimate goal is of course to have a satisfied customer, and the last thing we want is for someone to be unhappy with the service we provide or a product purchase.  Hence, we do offer a 100% store credit up to 6 months from the date of product receipt.  Therefore, if for any reason you are not 100% satisfied with a product you purchase from us (or maybe you want to upgrade, try something different, etc.), you at least will not be stuck with something you are not happy with.  Although we like to believe that we represent brands that are the best in their class, sometimes others may disagree :wink:.  FWIW, we have never had a customer take us up on our 100% store credit offer in the 7 years we have been in business because they were unhappy with their purchase.
