The company represents an elite selection of electronics and loudspeakers from leading manufacturers across North America and Europe, and is frequently recognized as Dealer of the Year for prestigious brands such as Burmester, D'Agostino, Linn, McIntosh, Sonus faber, and Wilson Audio. LMC is driven by a passion for crafting exceptional music and home cinema systems tailored to each client's unique vision. Its dedicated listening rooms feature some of the finest audio systems in the world, allowing clients to experience everything from entry-level high-performance speakers like the Wilson Audio TuneTot to the extraordinary Wilson Audio WAMM Master Chronosonic, ranging from around $10,000 to nearly $900,000. Notably, LMC is the only showroom in the world to display the Wilson Audio WAMM. The company was co-founded 25 years ago by Mike Ware, whose lifelong passion for audio began early. From building speaker kits as a youth to operating a small audio business while serving in the Navy, Ware's path has always been rooted in sound. After returning to civilian life—including time as a service director at a Mercedes-Benz dealership—he partnered with Leslie and Mike McPheeters to establish LMC Home Entertainment. Today, LMC continues to set the standard by offering not only world-class brands but also an environment where those products can truly shine. With more than 15,000 square feet of demonstration space across its showrooms, the company presents complete audio systems ranging from accessible high-end setups to ultra-exclusive installations exceeding seven figures. Among its most remarkable showcases is a system approaching $2 million in value, featuring Wilson Audio WAMM speakers, the dCS Varèse Music System, and flagship electronics such as Dan D'Agostino's Relentless Amplifiers.
