W HATS NEW?
The ShowHome is now open and available by appointment ! Our unique ShowHome in Killearn Lakes is filled with some of the coolest , newest products available anywhere. We have four demonstration rooms, all set-up with surround sound, remote controlled lighting, automated home theatre control, and some of the best high-performance audio anywhere and we’re really having a great time with it ! If you’re thinking about upgrading your present system or just want to experience the latest Dolby Digital surround, or maybe you haven’t seen the incredible picture from a DVD player, then you need to get out here I’m telling you it’s awesome !

Digital Satellite Systems went to Dolby Digital back in July on a limited basis and HDTV started its first over the air transmissions in the ten major TV markets on November 1st ! It’s finally here. Expensive, limited, and very confusing right now, but here nonetheless. We are ushering in a new age of television and it’s going to ultimately change the way we look at TV. I can’t wait to have it, but I will and so should you. Stay tuned for more details !


D ID YOU KNOW?
We are so fortunate to be in partnership with some of the best companies anywhere—companies that are so highly respected for what they do that their products are in demand all over the world. . .and we have them ! In fact, we’re pretty special to them and they take care of us so we can take care of you; we’re the little guys that made it. So whenever you’re thinking about anything related to home electronics, give us a call. You’ll be surprised how quickly we can respond and how competitive we are. The fact is we’re waiting for you to call ; we try harder, we work harder, and we know more about what we’re doing than just about anyone. You might save a few bucks somewhere else, but you’ll never be as happy or as appreciated as you will be with us. In fact, you wont even be someone anywhere else­just a number on an invoice. With us you will always be the reason we can be who we are. We’ll never intentionally let you down; we’ll never forget who you are, and we’ll try to never ever say “No, we can’t do that or that’s not our problem.” We all hear that too much these days. If for some reason we lose you to the big guys from out of town, then maybe someday we’ll get another chance when you can’t get something done. After all, service isn’t expensive, it’s priceless. I believe we can continue to live up to our expectations—thanks for listening and thanks always for your business.

Don’t forget about our 90-day, 100% trade-up on all products and if you happen to find the same item locally for less please let me know—I’ll be happy to get as close or match what ever you find. Just give us a call.

Just in time for the holidays—Sony Electronics is offering 3 free DVD’s with the purchase of a DVP-S500D DVD Player or two free DVD’s with the purchase of a DVP-S300 DVD Player now through January 31, 1999! Call us for more details.


B ULLETIN BOARD
Current Rep I got back from New Orleans and the CEDIA EXPO ‘98 and what a great show. Some of the stand-outs were Mitsubishi’s flat-panel HDTV (unreal looking), Sony’s new flat-display picture tube in their reference XBR line, and Martin-Logan’s new Script hybrid electrostatic speaker at under $1,500 a pair! B&W introduced their new line of Kevlar in-wall speakers that should put the competition in a panic—these in-walls are unbelievable sounding! Finally, Polk Audio has teamed up with Cinepro to create a 12-piece, 7,000 watt (that’s right, 7,000 watts!) ultimate Signature Reference Theatre speaker system. The experience I had twice (I had to go back and hear it again) left me exhausted! I’ve never heard anything like this before—it simply is the most kick *!@, heart pounding, visceral experience I’ve heard. If I can afford to set it up at the ShowHome when it becomes available, I will, and you’re all invited to stop by and get a taste of it. It will leave you breathless—literally. I can’t say enough about it—until I hear it again!

I’m proud to say that Jim Gray Designs is the new Martin-Logan Loudspeaker dealer. I have been to Lawrence, Kansas for a terrific 3 day training session to learn about every last detail of this amazing company. Single-handedly, Martin-Logan has redefined the art of loudspeaker design and performance. From their reference loudspeaker, the Statement, to their newest addition the Script, they have earned a place among the very best speakers in the world.

Thanks to Gayle, Don, Brent, Dennis, Mandy and the whole Martin-Logan family !


S PECIAL EVENTS AND THANK YOUS
I would like to dedicate this issue of WIRENUTS to some of the friends we lost this year. To our friends, Carolyn Fernandez, Roger Augustine, Nick Leslie, Mark Vogter, Mrs. Ben Willis, Evelyn Block, and Brenda Hevia—We will miss you all.

I would like to say thank you and good luck to Carl Parker who decided to take a separate path earlier this year. It was a lot of fun having Carl on the team and we miss him at lunches ! Carl is still out there competing with us and in spite of my disappointment, we wish him well. If you’re ever looking for someone who can do home automation and computer networking, Carl’s the man. I hope you’ll support his work and thanks again Carl for the two good years!

We’re getting close to completing our new Web page...David Lowe with WebYoda is at the reins and we are very excited about David’s ideas and talents. You can already find us under construction at www.jimgraydesigns.com.

The fall Mitsubishi Three Diamond Promotion ® is going on now until December 14,1998. This is a no down payment, no monthly payments, and no interest offer on the Mitsubishi Three Diamond card until January 2000 ! The promotion is for Mistsubihi products and is available to qualified applicants. Give us a call if you’re interested.

N UT OF THE MONTH
Again, this is where our best deals will be featured in each issue. You must mention that you are a WIRENUT or a friend of one to participate (just to make sure you’re paying attention.)

Now through January 3rd, brought to you from our friends at Polk Audio, we are giving away a free CS101 center channel speaker ($149 value) with the purchase of $400 worth of Polk Audio home speakers, or a free CS225 center channel speaker ($219 value) with the purchase of $600 worth of Polk Audio home speakers !

In fact, Polk Audio has been building some of the most critically acclaimed loudspeakers for the home since 1972. Unlike the other companies you may have heard of, Polk Audio has been quietly building a better engineered , better sounding speaker for 26 years. Their commitment to making affordable, high-performance sound has earned them the trademark The Speaker Specialist ®. From their floor- standing, bookshelf and in-wall speakers, to their Signature Reference Theatre speaker system, Polk Audio has demonstrated an ongoing pursuit to create the best sounding speakers for the money and we’re proud to be a part of their exclusive family of dealers.

 
Thanks Always,
Jim Gray Signature
