I'm not a customer, unfortunately (I live almost 800 miles away), but I had to stop in for a visit while I was in Omaha for the first time. I'm so glad I did! What a great place! I let them know I was merely visiting from out of town and they were still very generous with their time (they even offered to play for me what is, to date, the best HiFi system I've heard - Rockport speakers & Gryphon electronics). Great selection and a great staff with a very good ear for system matching and set-up. If you love music, and, I suspect, home theater, these guys can easily set you up for maximum enjoyment at any price point from budget conscious to ultra high end.

I recently stopped into the Sound Environment one evening where I met Gale. Despite closing within thirty minutes, Gale thoughtfully answered all of my questions related to turntables in a kind and knowledgeable way. Based on this positive experience I returned a couple of weeks later and met Todd. Todd provided fantastic, no pressure coaching on the areas that I wanted to upgrade my system (new subwoofer and turntable), and allowed me to audition better RCA cables. I ended up purchasing a new subwoofer, turntable, and phono preamp on a subsequent visit. While there have been delays in shipping on the subwoofer, Todd did a magnificent job installing and setting up my turntable and phono preamp at home...of note, Gale had optimized the turntable at the shop before Todd brought it over. During the installation, Todd also optimized my television picture/sound settings as well as my amp settings. While I have purchased equipment on line, you can not beat the outstanding hand-on service provided by this company. I am looking forward to receiving my new subwoofer and am planning on purchasing a high-res streaming component in the future based on their amazing upgrade program. I highly recommend this company and staff, especially Todd and Gale for their personalized service and professionalism.

Not for the Post-Snobbery Audiophile but I digress.

Prepare to take a deep dive into sound production from digital encoding, file types, to D to A conversion, pre-amplification, amplification, speaker and speaker placement. The rabbit hole ends around $1M, but there is something at every price point and the prices are fairly good and the Trade up program is better. Gale is a gently knowledgeable. Todd is far more direct and opinionated. They have been particularly helpful to me, to the point of letting me do some in home demos. For this, I am grateful as I learned where the shortcomings were in my system.
