GNP Audio Video

Note:
This review shall not be judged for anything other than the brand - GNP loudspeakers for home audio systems. This review should be included in the Yelp review section of reviews not currently recommended.
Don't forget...
This particular review is only for GNP home audio hi-fi loudspeakers- Valkyrie, Model 10 and Model 20 plus the dual 6.5" bass modules. They produced other models of speakers... but I have no experience with them.
In my opinion, GNP speakers are some of the best, period...in terms of sound, build quality, components used, and all around designed speakers. They are considered "vintage speakers" nowadays. Rare too.

I have had Lawrence and GNP install two systems in my present house and I couldn't be happier. The first was installing speakers in the walls and ceiling plus running wires to a closet area where all the components are located. The second was installing a Heos system to feed outside speakers. Great job, attention to details, etc.

I have been dealing with GNP as a company since 1981, when I bought my first stereo system from them. At that time, they made speakers. Although they no longer manufacture their own speaker systems, GNP has evolved into one of the last remaining honest audio-video retailers in Southern California. Unlike most audio video shops, the people there will recommend a stereo and video system based on your needs, not their's. I cannot emphasize enough how significant this is. They first ask you lots of questions about what kind of music you like, what your budget is, etc. They then go about pointing you in the right direction within those parameters. In 2007, after much research and discussion with them I purchased a pair of the Thiel 1.6 speakers. Not only did they deliver them, they kept in touch with me in the months afterwards to make sure I was getting the most out of my purchase. Most audio retailers wouldn't do that, since "closing the sale" was what they were after. Not these guys. It is precisely because of this kind of integrity that I they have my loyalty all these years later.
