I first met Steve in 1981. At that time, he and another fellow opened a store on El Cajon Blvd. The store did well and moved to Sports Arena Blvd. Steve decided to do his own thing an opened a small store on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. I loved visiting that store and seeing the latest stuff. Steve was patient and never pushy. The store expanded as time went on. But Steve never changed.

Eventually, Stereo Design moved across the street. I remember purchasing my first Wilson Watt Puppies at this location. Things went well, and Steve moved down the street to the present location. Home theatre was the rage and Steve adapted with custom installations.

When the home theatre fad faded, Stereo Design concentrated on high end for the audio enthusiast.

I feel the Internet took its toll on the business. People wanted deals and were unwilling to shoulder the costs of demoing all this equipment.

I will miss Stereo Design.
