COMPONENT SELECTION

Components are the fun part. We all know it. The gleaming turntable accented by that sexy cartridge. The subtly lit amp and the warm glow of tubes. It’s an aesthetic unto itself.  But the beauty of the individual component or the allure of a great deal can distract us from the bigger picture:  system congruity.

Components can either complement or compete with one another or with the space in which they are placed and played. At Minneapolis HIFI, we want you to hear the best possible sound from your investment. This means carefully selecting complementary components which all fit perfectly in your listening space and create exactly the sound you’re looking for. 

We feel fortunate and proud to offer our clients the brands that we have fallen in love with. Hours of experience with these components allow us to hone in on the perfect feeling for your room; tailoring the highs and lows — and everything in between — to the particular tastes of our clients.

ROOM TREATMENT

The most overlooked, and yet, most significant component of your hi-fi system is your listening space.  Whether it’s a common room, a work area or a dedicated room for active listening, the acoustic treatment of that space is paramount to making the most of your investment.  With an extensive and practical understanding of acoustic room design, and an offering of custom built acoustic traps and panels, Minneapolis HIFI is equipped to lay the foundation of a great listening experience in the space you’ve chosen.

Environmental Aesthetics

On the surface it seems that the ultimate goal in hi-fi is the creation of the best possible sound in a chosen location. We think there’s more to it. We’ve found that if we create a space that is not only acoustically compelling, but also visually appealing, we have created an environment in which our clients want to spend time. 

Minneapolis HIFI has partnered with other Twin Cities businesses to create custom furniture and accessories that will enhance both the aesthetic and acoustic treatment of your listening space. From component racks and acoustic panels to accent pieces that will frame your system and bring a sense of unity to your room, we are equipped and able to create for you a personally tailored listening environment.
