  Independent audio stores are not in abundance these days. Thankfully, Portland has a few, and Stereotypes has a lot on board of what I believe to be a place worth visiting for such things. The most refreshing aspect of Stereotypes for me are the brands on offer. There are lots of different options for amplifier and speaker matching to get the sound I want in my home. Naim amplifiers driving PMC speakers is a wonderful thing, as is Sim Audio gear driving ProAc speakers, as well as Rega amplifiers partnering Spendor speakers. Lovely stuff. Terri and crew have lots of different sources to pick from. Nicely built turntables, wireless audio devices, and lots of versions there of. The folks at Stereotypes will happily show the right way to buy audio gear, and they make sensible recommendations to compliment whatever floats your boat. Forgive me for waving Stereotypes' flag so much, but I have found it is a really good store to find sonic nirvana for your taste in music. I will be shopping here again, and I look forward to my next visit.

  When I first moved to the Portland area, it was a struggle finding both an experienced and friendly hifi audio store that truly listened to me, and was interested in helping me solve my stereo upgrade dilemma/questions. They took the time to find out about the system I had, and asked the right questions that could guide me to the best solutions for ME. Helping me to prioritize when and what to upgrade/change and how best that I could build my dream system over time. Balancing the needs of a growing family, along with my desires for a dynamic, real and natural sounding system, isn't always easy.. but thankfully Teri and her team guided me to the right set up for all of us. I couldn't be happier with our audio system from Stereotypes Audio, and now my kids are growing up enjoying music in much the way I do. Thank you.
