We purchased a new home and proceeded over to Best Buy to get a new TV and Home Theater System. We purchased the installation package from the Geek squad to have everything installed. The guys who came to do the work were friendly enough but obviously did not have the knowledge and experience to install the equipment right or get everything to work right. After they were done, we had to have the TV on to listen to the CD player, and they left a big messy hole behind our TV. The system was a nightmare to operate and the sound was never quite right.
After a few weeks of frustration my husband decided to call someone else to see what they could do and we found a small local company that has been doing this kind of work for years. They not only made our system work easily, sound great, and look good, but the technician was able to help us set up all the rest of the TV's in the house and even fix our internet problem. I only wish we had found them first and I really recommend finding a company that will send out an experienced technician. If you are in our area and need someone to do a professional job or clean up the Geek Squad's mess, avcomp is who we used.
What's great about it: The guys were polite and friendly.
What's not so great: They didn't have the experience to even do a basic hook up correctly!
