Core offering

Innovative Audio Video Showrooms is a premium retail showroom operating since 1972, selling reference-quality home audio equipment, loudspeakers, amplifiers, digital and analog sources, cables, headphones, and home automation systems from world-renowned brands. The company offers expert consultation, in-showroom demonstrations within five acoustically-controlled environments in New York City, system customization, and professional installation support for high-end home entertainment systems.

Product overview

Innovative Audio Video Showrooms operates as a premium high-end audio and video retail business, not a unified software product, but rather a curated portfolio of luxury consumer electronics and professional installation services. The company sells and demonstrates an extensive portfolio of high-fidelity audio equipment across multiple product categories: loudspeakers from brands like Wilson Audio (Chronosonic XVX, Alexx V, Alexia V, Sasha V, Sabrina V, Sabrina X, TuneTot), Dynaudio, Spendor, ATC, Avalon, Marten, and Wisdom Audio; electronics from D'Agostino, VTL, Spectral, Naim, Luxman, Audio Research, and Berkeley Audio Design; analog sources including TechDAS turntables (Air Force series), Linn LP12 turntables with Karousel upgrade, and Rega; dCS digital-to-analog converters (Varèse, Vivaldi APEX, Rossini APEX, Bartók, Lina); premium headphones from Audeze and Abyss; and Transparent cables and Chord Company cables. Additionally, they offer home automation integration services with Control4, Savant, and Lutron systems, as well as a curated selection of audiophile vinyl records for demonstration and sale. Their five acoustically-controlled New York City showrooms enable customers to audition equipment in controlled environments, with expert staff providing consultation and system customization services.

Direct peers

• Lyric HiFi: Another long-established NYC high-end audio retailer carrying many of the same brands (Wilson, D'Agostino, Naim) — directly competes with Innovative for the same Manhattan audiophile customer.
• Audio Vision: San Francisco-based high-end audio/video retailer offering premium brands and custom installation services — comparable business model serving a different regional high-net-worth audiophile market.
• Audio Advice: North Carolina-based high-end audio/video retailer with showrooms and a strong e-commerce channel — comparable curated premium-brand portfolio and custom-installation service offering, competing with Innovative for aspirational audiophile customers.

Regional players

• World Wide Stereo: Pennsylvania-based specialty A/V retailer with showrooms and a strong custom-installation business across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic — comparable high-end audio retail and integration model, though serving a wider geographic area than Innovative.
• Hawthorne Stereo: Bay Area specialty high-end audio retailer offering premium loudspeakers, electronics, and home theater systems — directly comparable showroom-based business model serving a different affluent West Coast market.
• HiFi House: New Jersey / Philadelphia-area high-end audio retailer carrying Wilson, D'Agostino, and similar premium brands — comparable specialty dealer serving the Northeast corridor outside Manhattan.

Broad incumbents

• Crutchfield: Large multi-channel consumer electronics retailer with extensive online catalog and phone-based consultation — competes indirectly with Innovative across the broader home audio category, though focused on mass-market and mid-fi rather than reference-level gear.
• Best Buy (Magnolia): National big-box electronics retailer whose Magnolia premium A/V division historically competed in the high-end home theater and audio space — broader portfolio and much lower touch, but addresses an overlapping customer base for premium installations.

Emerging players

• Music Direct: Online-first specialty retailer focused on analog playback, turntables, and high-end audio — overlaps with Innovative's analog and Hi-Fi components business but bypasses the showroom-based model that defines Innovative's value proposition.

Others

• Kaleidescape: Manufacturer of high-end movie servers and content platform that Innovative actively resells and integrates into its home cinema installations — adjacent ecosystem partner whose product complements Innovative's premium theater offerings.
