Audio-video, done well in a living or working space, is indistinguishable from magic. And I haven’t seen a better magician than Ali aka AJ at Matrix. When you have a relatively small budget(think Canton, not Krell), it is especially challenging to design an AV setup that delivers quality. But Matrix and AJ are great with finding creative solutions for your dollar-constrained cravings. AJ excels in the usual services — installing TVs, surround sound systems and speakers. But he is also an expert in lighting controls and motorized shades – expensive upgrades that can only be part of my five-year plan. Matrix sources component parts at a competitive price, and charges installation fees by the hour. I found AJ and his team to be fast, accurate and punctual. I am very impressed with Matrix’s commitment to doing it right. For example, my Sonos installation seemingly impacted the Internet speed in my apartment. AJ braved the heat to make a visit over a weekend afternoon, and quickly diagnosed the problem, isolating it to the wireless controls of the surround sound system — a fairly non-trivial exercise. If you are in the market for audio-video services, give Matrix a call, and get those front row seats to a magician’s show as you watch AJ at work!
