Going to Creative Audio was the easiest choice I had when I wanted to finally upgrade my system. Jeff offered a wealth of knowledge and catered to my needs. Creative Audio has an amazing selection from someone just getting their feet wet (like me) to someone that is a Hi-Fi enthusiast. Can't wait to go back and upgrade the rest.

  • Allan Eppler

I've been shopping Creative Audio since the 90's when it was a couple old houses in the village. I recently moved back to YWG from YYJ and was happy to find Jeff in a new Academy Rd shop. Relaxed, informative atmosphere with some extremely sweet gear to drool over! I am loving my new amp! Thanks, Jeff Allan

  • Steven K. Johnson

Wonderful experience. Knowledgeable, friendly owner and no pressure sales. Explains things simply and straight forward. Breath of fresh air. I spent more than I initially planned, but I would rather have better audio equipment that will last many more years than slightly cheaper stuff from a big box store.

  • David Ronson

Jeff is very knowledgable in the subject of HiFi products. His advice is honest and has your interest soley in mind. I am very happy with the level of purchase I have made and will definitely return whenever I need further purchases. Good luck Jeff in your new location.

When it was time to replace my 39 year old audio system, I reached out to Jeff at Creative Audio. I had done business with the previous owner in the old location in Osborne Village. Upon doing my research, I found that Creative Audio, under

The entire experience from initial visit up to delivery, was an absolute pleasure. Jeff spent close to an hour explaining everything I needed to know to make an informed decision. The sound test session was a pleasure and he never rushed or

Know that feeling of taking in a deep breath of fresh air !?!? That’s how I felt walking into Creative Audio !! I was looking to add some bass to my current Stereo system and seconds into my conversation with Jeff I knew I was in confident

We had a great experience working with Creative Audio. Jeff took the time to answer all of my wife and I's questions and explained in fine detail the pros and cons of the options available to us for our first home audio system. We did not

Was looking to upgrade my home theater so I took the typical internet deep dive. I quickly realized that the online audiophile community is just full of a lot of brand stroking. I knew of Creative Audio but had never visited before. So I

  • Russ

I took an old Maranzce Amp to these guys, it was all Crackle and Hum, still dials poor sound. A few days later it was the kind of stereo that would get you evicted. And they re-coned some old heavy speakers for me also. Best money I ever

Stopped in at Creative recently to look for [or should that be listen for?] new headphones. The shop's owner Jeff gave me all the time I needed to compare various models from the Grado product line, which I'm a fan of. Never felt rushed,

Had a great experience, Jeff really knows his stuff, I was impressed with how he dealt with the customer ahead of me who was a bit of a newbie; he happily explained wiring basics and no upselling at all. Got a pair of Focal speakers from

  • Monika Cloutier

A BIG BIG thank you to Jeff for resolving the issue that I had with my turntable. Within 48 hours I had the turntable back in its spot where the records were playing and my feet were dancing. Thank you so much for the efficient service.

Highly recommend Creative Audio. Jeff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and will guide you through a proper demo so you can actually hear the difference between various product lines. He worked with me on a home theater solution to fit my

I stopped in and talked with Jeff about what I was currently using and what we I wanted to replace and he made some recommendations on what would match best with my existing speakers. I brought my speakers into his shop and they sounded

Earlier this year, I was looking to upgrade my home office and had kept an eye on their clearance section for some speakers. I talked to Jeff over email and managed to get my hands on a pair of B&W 686S2. I was planning on going over to

I had a very good experience at Creative Audio yesterday, looking for a music streamer. Jeff helped me decide what product is the best for my needs, and provided a lot of interesting and useful information, without trying to up-sell me.

  • Daniel Flather

Creative Audio, what can you say? They are Winnipeg's venerable audio store. I have been shopping/visiting here since 1991 when they were located in the village. I purchased my very fist hi-fi set up at the old location, an NAD 701 and

Jeff was great to work with. He gave me the sale price plus the addition manufacturer discount that other dealers had negleted to mention. He made a special trip to the office on his day off, after spending the two previous days moving

Always a pleasure talking to Jeff. I was looking to replace an aging Arcam 350 I had purchased from the old Osbourne store many years ago. My needs have changed over the years and Jeff got me into a new receiver which does what I need

It was my first time shopping at Creative Audio and I was targeted in my selection. Jeff had the Rogue Audio Sphinx connected and running when I arrived. Very fair price and great service, I look forward to my next visit.

Jeff was so helpful and kind! Quick to answer my email asking about components and set everything aside for me even though he was busy with moving the business location. Will 100% purchase from them in the future

We are enormously pleased with Creative Audio. The equipment works great and was even carried to my husband's car for the ride home! The installation referral was equally great.
