What customers say about Dante

Very awesome man, told me everything I needed to know!

Joseph A., March 24

Dante was very helpful in choosing speakers. He clearly understands audio electronics and helped to steer me in the right direction.

Richard S., March 7

Was very helpful and explained everything I needed to do the install I want

David B., July 5

Dante was & is a great help, shared his knowledge & checked all the specs to make sure I was getting the upgrade with my purchase, he made sure everything in my system would work harmoniously with the new piece of gear. Highly recommend him & his ability to understand what you are doing in your upgrade. Thanks again, Bobby.

Bobby M., May 1

It's been 20 years since I parted with my receiver, amp, CD player and tower speakers. Dante, however, brought it all back in minutes ... without overwhelming me with today's choices. He answered questions, listened to my "ask", and educated. Easy peasy. One piece at a time, staring with the turntable he just recommended, I will rebuild. Thank you Crutchfield, thank you Dante.

Dan F., May 1

Dante was awesome to deal with and he answered all my questions and set me up with the best options for me.

Matt P., February 12

Dante was excellent. Didnt make me feel like an idiot. Extremely patient with answering questions. Great sense of humor. Helped my choices with Wharfedale and Rotel products. Will be dealing with Dante soon for more help. Thankyou Dante for your patience and help. Talk soon.

Scott A., January 3

Dante was very helpful a patient with all the questions I had regarding the purchase of a new receiver. I was having trouble letting go of my 16-year-old Yamaha receiver, but Dante provided some compelling reasons for upgrading. He was not pushy, just very knowledgeable and informative. Thanks to his helpfulness, I decided to make the purchase while we were on the phone. He was able to put the order together and include credits I had from a prior purchase. It was a great experience working with Dante!

Rich Z., December 17

Very glad Dante answered my call this morning! I had a few questions about some specifics for my vehicle and comparing and contrasting different options, and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. I have never bought from Crutchfield before, but like someone else here has said, he is an asset to this place because he made a customer out of me and left a great impression over a single phone call before I've even purchased a product. Thank you, Dante and great job!

Jake B., November 8

I was certain I needed to replace my amplifier; however, thanks to Dante's troubleshooting, a very simple fix did the trick. He was patient, knowledgeable, and a really cool guy to chat with.

Jeff T., June 15

Dante is a true asset to Crutchfield. He helped me with my limited knowledge of this more modern stereo installation. He was patient and very professional. I will highly recommend Crutchfield to anyone, primarily because of Dante. thank you again!!! Sincerely, John S.

John S., June 4

Awesome to work with. Extremely knowledgeable and walked me through the process. Made sure I had everything I needed to complete the project.

Andragoras al'M., May 18

Very patient and helpful. I would definitely give him another call if any other questions come to mind. Intelligent and knowledgeable individual.

Humberto R., April 12

Great guy. Very helpful.

Harvey K. W., October 5

Dante was so helpful answering my questions and made sure that I ordered the correct equipment for my older Toyota Sequoia's sound system make-over. He explained the differences between equipment very easily and plainly and did not push me into buying unnecessarily high-end upgrades. He was also very kind and funny, and made the entire purchase pleasant and easy, and answered all my questions. Thank you again, Dante! I can't wait to terrorise my poor mum with my music! ;)

Heather J., August 4

I've been a Crutchfield customer for over 40 years and Dante is just another reason I still shop here. Dante was very patient and helpful in taking the time to help me and my purchase. I usually don't do reviews, but Dante really went above and beyond what I could have asked. This is why I always buy from Crutchfield because I know they will always be there even after the sale if I have a problem or need technical advice. Thank you Dante and Crutchfield.

Dennis R., July 6

Dante was extremely kind and knowledgeable, he helped me make sure everything I was ordering worked together and gave me recommendations based on what I was looking for. He was a pleasure to talk with during the entire encounter and he answered all my questions and concerns. The next time I come to Crutchfield to make another purchase I will definitely be coming back to him.

Harrison B., June 7

It was a pleasure ordering and talking to Dante.

Dudley C., May 3

This guy rocks, he knows his stuff from front to rear you got a good man there keep him happy as he has a great asset to your company. Thank you again Crutchfield and Dante, you're the man.

Kevin S., February 11

Dante is an honest man with an incredible mind.

Jackson B., January 8

Dante is top notch.

Paul I., November 4

Great working with Dante. He listened then advised, then I ordered. He answered all the questions I had.

David W., August 22

Dante was great. He took the time to look up what changes I'd need to make for a new stereo that I was considering and figured out I wouldn't need to spend money on an adapter. Very professional and kind. He's one of the reasons I'd never go anywhere else for stereo equipment.

Richard G., August 20

Dante was awesome. Very professional and friendly. We discussed my situation and he helped me pick the best product for my needs. Thank you Dante. As usual, Crutchfield customer service is second to none!

Robert C., May 25

Awesome gentleman and true human soul. Mr. Dante or should I say Mr. 32 or is it simply, "Cap" for one special game. You, my friendly are very knowledgeable, down to earth and more than efficient at what you do. I am not the least surprised. This is the Crutchfield norm for all of my personal interactions since the early 90s! Thank you Mr. Dante and thank you Crutchfield. Please keep exceeding our expectations. Stay safe out there!
