Why NuVo
There are many options for home audio systems available to you. Many show homes are built with expensive high-end home audio systems pre-installed. There are also less expensive options, but generally speaking, those are limited in their capabilities and don’t deliver the same quality sound of the high-end systems. Today, there’s NuVo-an affordable option for superior home audio.
The answer is simple. Only NuVo brings the elegance, style, power, and superior sound of expensive customizable systems into a price range that makes it easy for your family to enjoy.
NuVo brings the advanced technology of superior home sound together with the simplicity of user-friendly design, all at a price that is easy to live with. That’s why we like to say NuVo is The Sound of LiVing.
NuVo Timeline
Turn of the decade, 1990
Jack Hanser and Rick Kukulies, esteemed Kustom Engineer, took attention to a makeshift solution to home audio: a car amplifier supplying speakers throughout the home with one source of audio. It was a low power, improvised design that left a lot to be desired. Thus began their vision of a custom system that would supply audio in multiple areas plus offer a selection of sources, simultaneously in different zones – all in one simple system.
