We have extensive experience integrating the elements of sophisticated audio systems. We build complete systems from the ground up, and have in-depth working knowledge not only of the pre-amps, amps, and power supplies that support our loudspeakers but of the component synergy that makes the difference between good and great. At PBN, "great" is our everyday standard.
