President 

Thank You for your Strata Mini purchase

Dear Home Entertainment Enthusiast,

At AV123, our absolute highest priority begins and ends with 

you, the customer. As our valued customer, you can rest 

assured that if you’re not 100% satisfied with your purchase 

within 30 days from your original receipt date, you may return 

your product(s) for a prompt refund in full (excluding shipping 

charges) with no explanation necessary. Coupled with the 

expert advice on our website and through our trained advisors, 

there is simply not a safer way or place to buy today.

We make every effort to make sure your home entertainment needs are met with the 

great products and unbeatable service we offer every single day. Not only do we give 

you the tools and the resources to fully evaluate your purchase before your order is 

placed, we back this up after the fact by allowing you a full month to audition our 

products in your own home before your final decision is made. AV123 simply does not 

engage in misleading and high-pressure sales tactics. In the long run, we know it’s not 

the way either one of us wants to do business. We want customers for a lifetime.

The Strata Mini is a dream come true. The hybrid design will astound you with its 

ability to be utterly delicate yet deliver visceral impact when asked. This is thanks to its 

combination of planar magnetic drivers operating in concert with “selected” cone drivers. 

The planar magnetic midrange and tweeter are custom built to our specifications along 

with the French-designed and renowned Atohm 5.25” mid-bass coupler located in it’s 

own critically damped chamber. We hand this off to a custom damped and treated paper 

cone 8” woofer - powered by an internal class A/B 350 watt amplifier.

 

 

We want you to know that The Strata Mini is exquisite in every measure and meaning 

of the word. The Strata Mini is designed for intimate settings – not cathedrals. What 

you can expect is an emotionally engaging and utterly immersive experience on an 

intimate level. The elegantly designed cabinet with real Rosewood veneers, narrow width 

(minimizes visual impact) and sloped baffle will be sure to carry an elegant feel to your 

room and extend itself gracefully to the visual realm even at rest. 

We’ve done our best to provide you with products and services meeting or exceeding 

your expectations. However as good as our products are, they do not match our 

dedication to each and every sale. Should you 

need any further assistance in the future with your 

A/V system, you can bet that AV123 will be there 

supporting and assisting you as you make your way 

to your next level of audio/visual enjoyment.

Mark with his pride and 

joy, Granddaughter Gracie 

after her performance in 

The Nutcracker
