The Good
Enormous selection of quality speakers from some of the best brands and almost everything is in stock. Free shipping on most purchases over $99. Online customer service as well as best price guarantee.
The Bad
Geared more towards recording professionals, musicians, and at home recording enthusiasts. There are limited consumer models available.
The Verdict
If you are a musician or a music lover, this site has something of real value to offer. The shipping and return policy is very fair and favorable. They have a lot of in stock and customer service is very responsive and knowledgeable about the products they sell.
While best known as the leading retailer of instruments, Musician's Friend is a great place to look for speakers. The product selection is substantial even though it is geared more toward the recording professional, musician, or individual looking for studio equipment. There is a significant list of brands that Musician's Friend carries including Sony, JBL, Yamaha, and Celestion Speakers.
The website itself, while cluttered with pictures and text, is not difficult to figure out. The search button comes in handy while browsing and serves as a beneficial tool when needing to find something specific. When we searched for the Yamaha BR15 via brand and model number the first result matched the speaker we were looking for and it was marked down close to a hundred dollars in addition to free shipping. Musician's Friend provides customer service in multiple ways including a 24/7 live chat where customers can log on and ask for help and advice. Musician's Friend offers a 45 day best price guarantee as well as a 45-Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
Musician's Friend has proven to be a useful tool for musicians and music fans alike. The broad selection of speakers as well as other audio technology is plentiful and the online customer service feature is a large bonus.
