The announcement follows Audio Advice Live 2025, held August 1–3 at the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Audio Advice, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Raleigh, NC, announced recent showroom openings in Nashville, TN, and Wilmington, NC. It said customers of The Sound Room will gain access to Audio Advice’s online resources, design tools, and product lines.
