We’re music lovers first and foremost here at Central Media Systems, so while our primary focus is custom audio/video design, integration and installation: We love planning, designing and building audiophile playback systems. Together, our team has over thirty years experience in the high end audio industry; ranging from reviewing products for respected Hi-fi journals like The Absolute Sound magazine, Hi-Fi+, and Positive Feedback to providing system design and installations for major label artists, artist management, and industry executives. We bring our passion and love of music to every high end audio system we build, designing it from the ground up considering your particular musical tastes and budget.

We do not sell or set-up Hi-fi equipment we wouldn’t personally own, so you know the equipment we choose will serve you well for years. When it comes to analog playback, specifically vinyl records (thanks to the formats magnificent comeback) we always recommend the very best, and that means VPI turntables. VPI has been manufacturing high performance turntables in the USA for over thirty-years, and we’re proud to offer their stellar products here at CMS.

We’re also big fan of tube electronics here at CMS. And yes, you read that right: We’re talking about vacuum tube components! Not only do they still exist, but the high end audio industry has been innovating around this technology since the fifties! Think it’s a coincidence that most of the great guitar and bass amps, even today, are still driven by tube amplifiers? When it comes to tube hi-fi gear at home, nobody does it better than E.A.R by Tim de Paravicini. de Paravicini has been designing and building high performance audio products for the professional and consumer audio industries for over forty years. Everyone from Pink Floyd to Lenny Kravitz, as well as legendary mastering engineer Bob Ludwig use E.A.R products in their studios. Were honored to offer Tim de Paravicini’s fine audio components here at CMS.

We also know that exotic audio gear is beyond the reach of most consumers, but we also know that “affordable” doesn’t have to mean compromises in sonic integrity. We’ve spent years researching (and many times reviewing) Hi-fi components, and Audioengine is a company that stands out. They’re one of the very few audio manufacturers that, while their products are reasonably priced, they’re not only accepted by the global audiophile community, they’re embraced.

Smart technology has changed everything at home. Consumers want to play their favorite content throughout the house; from the kitchen to the porch, the master bedroom, or the terrace, etc. With home automation you can do all of that while also controlling your security system, lighting, and thermostats. CMS is excited to announce the addition of SAVANT to our arsenal of leading-edge smart home automation products.
