A word from Doc Greene Sr.
I have always liked electronics. From the time that I was a child I have played with electronics. It all started at the age of 2 when I decided to adjust the picture on my dad’s TV. I adjusted it so well, using the knobs on the back, that a TV repairman was required to re-adjust it.

All through high school I experimented with HiFi gear using guitar amplifiers to enhance and increase the sound of my small stereo. I used this on my first DJ job in 1971. I studied electronics in the U.S. Air Force in 1972 and got my first job selling stereo components in 1975.

Since then I have continued on in the business, learning from some of the best in the business. While Hi-Fi is my first love, I have a second love…and that is big screen projection systems. I designed my first theater sound system in 1979. It was surround 1.0 that is a left and right speaker in mono. I achieved this going inside my TV and connecting the wires right to the circuit board in order to get sound out of the cheesy plastic Sanyo TV to my expensive Conrad Johnson Tube, Pre-Amp coupled to my Stax pure class A power amp and my British Quality Audio (Quad) speakers. The sound, though mono, sounded much better than the 3 inch speaker in my set. Home Theater sound has come a long way since then.

I started this company in 1994. I started it because I realized that most stores no longer cared enough about quality and customer service to pay someone like myself to do it.

I was told by one boss that I could not go out to customer’s houses and help them because that was not my job. Another former employer told me that I could not afford to give that level of customer service, because it was not cost effective.

I knew the only way I could treat customers the way I wanted to treat them was to start my own company. I nearly starved that first year. The second year I barely made it. But today we are still here with a dedicated staff whose only goal is to make you smile

The first and most important part of your home system is the Design.

You can’t get good sound or picture without it. All of our current systems whether it be telephone, security, control automation, and entertainment require proper design before the first wire is pulled to insure that it is both powerful and customer friendly.

Our philosophy is simple.
#1 If you have more than one remote control it is a bad design.
#2 If you have to press more than two buttons, it is too difficult.
#3 If it takes longer than 5 minutes to learn how to use it, then it is a bad design.

We will make sure that your system is as easy to use as it is fun to use.

We will design and wire a system to control your lights, drapes, air conditioning, security, sprinkler system, gate and door access, and of course your entertainment system. While Home Audio Video systems are our specialty, we also are able to interface and control all of these systems.

This means that you will own a system that will make your home more convenient and more fun to live in.

Let us help you get what you really want.
