Learn more on a 10 minute call asking about center channel speakers than multiple visits to other places in area. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful

I didn't end up buying from Kemela, because they don't carry Devore and Hegel. That said, I can't imagine a better, more knowledgeable dealer for excellent equipment than Chris. I wanted to repay his generosity with his time and knowledge with this review. He carries great stuff, and you can't go wrong with his advice.

Chris went above and beyond my expectations even though he knew I would be within the lower scale of his offerings. It was a treat to hear Chris talk about his passion for HI-FI and to learn from him. I will definitely be back for future upgrades and highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience talking to Chris. He is the rare mixture of incredibly knowledgeable and personable. He really takes the time to explain things deeply. I was on the fence about buying a power conditioner and he explained to me very thoroughly, not only why they are effective but why they have a bad reputation of squashing dynamics. I ended up buying an Isotek power conditioner and it's a great improvement. Also, I have the peace of mind knowing that my equipment is protected. I live across the country from Kemela but I want to give Chris my business because I trust him and I feel he has my best interest at heart

I have dealt with Mr. Chris Amos at Kemela only by phone. Over two years ago, I was shopping for a better system and found Kemela Audio on line. I took a chance and called. On the phone, I met Chris Amos and I asked 100s of questions and he took the time to answer all of them. He gave me advices and suggested a few equipment and cables and I listened to his advices and suggestions. I have ordered integrated amplifier, cables of all kinds, power conditioners, etc., and as of today, I am super happy and amazed with everything that Chris Amos recommended. I lived in D.C., Panama City and now in Stuttgart, Germany. My last order was the Primare I32 that he recommended by phone, I bought it, received last week and I am stoked with the sound. Superb! Chris Amos earned my trust and I will continue to buy from him. I highly recommend Chris Amos to anyone looking for the right answer or advice and to purchase the next hi-fi equipment. A five stars customer rep and 5 stars for knowledge and trustworthy.

Earlier this year, I contacted Kemela, and expressed interest in some of Chord Electronics' digital components. Chris Amos proved to be an outstanding resource. He listened well, respected my personal preferences, and provided a wealth of experience and shared musical appreciation. There are no high-end audio stores near where I live. So I make online purchases typically based on forum posts and online reviews. But this was a significant purchase for me, and I wanted a relationship with a trusted dealer, authorized to provide a warranty, and able to provide support down the road. Chris and Kemela have a long relationship with Chord, as well as other brands, and a long history in the business, ensuring that they will still be there in the future for support and future purchases. It also helped that the prices Chris offered me are competitive, and that Kemela carries a complete selection of high-performance audio products, by respected manufacturers, with a range of prices. While other dealers I spoke with left me feeling they just wanted to sell me, Chris made me feel that I was more important than the sale. In an online world, Chris is a rarity of old-world service and professionalism. If you are considering an investment in quality audio gear, I highly recommend speaking with Chris Amos at Kemela.

I read about the Cyrus SoundKey USB DAC (rave review at What HiFi). It's a British company with no official dealers in the US, but they referred me to Chris Amos at Kemela Audio. Chris was quick to respond to my inquiry, and ordered a SoundKey for me, which I received 4 days ago. It is an amazing upgrade from the Audioquest Dragonfly 1.2 I was using. The sound is clear, musical, and involving. Bass is deeper and tighter. In comparison, the Dragonfly sound muddled and confused. I strongly recommend the SoundKey, and Chris is great to work with. I recommend both of them very highly!

Chris at Kemela Contemporary Audio is one of the most knowledgable hi-fi gurus in the south. He took the time to help me pick out and put together a beautifully matched audio system for my listening room. His insight of both worlds, analog and digital, were immensely helpful. He set up my turntable, as well as my streamer and now I'm hearing things from my own music collection I'd never heard before. Service and advice far superior to any big box or web dealer. Pricing extremely competitive too, I ended up with a far better deal (and better system!) than I would have had I picked out my gear online. Hearing in person really made the difference. Highly recommended.

Chris Jones at Kemela is the ideal audio dealer. He's very smart, personable, honest, patient, available, and very highly sophisticated about contemporary high-end trends and products. Plus he carries excellent gear.
