Take the Next Step with Your Scottsdale Audio System with Marantz & Classé

Originally Written June 2, 2023. Updated May 5, 2025.

Imagine sitting in your listening room, eyes closed, as the subtle brush of a cymbal reveals textures you've never heard before, or feeling the physical presence of a bass note that seems to materialize in your chest rather than from your speakers.

The experience we've just described is a fundamentally different relationship Scottsdale homeowners can have with music and film. The leap from good to extraordinary audio requires more than expensive equipment. It accesses the emotional core of what makes music and film so powerful!

There are sound systems, and then there are high-end sound systems. At Audio Video Excellence, we strive to surpass your expectations of what high-end luxury listening experiences entail.

When you are looking for that next level of detail, nuance, and presence in your sound, it's time for an upgrade. Marantz and Classé represent two distinct approaches we take to audio nirvana. Each brand has a prestigious history of serving listeners who refuse to compromise.

Continue reading to learn how Marantz and Classé's high-performance components will transform every listening experience in your Arizona home.

Uncompromising Sound Quality That Elevates Your Music-Listening Experience

Many people like listening to music on-the-go. They put in their earbuds, select their favorite playlist, and go about their day. The music plays in the background – ever-present, but not really front-and-center. You may do the same thing. Whether you’re driving in the car, exercising, or even doing mundane tasks, the sound of music keeps you going.

But what about those times when you want to hear every nuance of a song and lose yourself in it? While earbuds and car stereos can deliver excellent sound quality, they cannot compete with high-end audio from manufacturers like McIntosh, Bowers & Wilkins, Sonus faber, and Anthem. You’ll hear all the highs, lows, and everything in between – the way music is meant to be heard! Keep reading to learn why you need a high-end audio and speaker system at your home in Paradise Valley, AZ.
