Dealer Spotlight: Excel Audio

By Mike Marko

Excel Audio is a Nordost Supreme Reference dealer.  There are few places in the world where you can experience the best, leading edge cables connected to some of the finest loudspeakers and electronics available anywhere, in an atmosphere of kindness and expertise hosted by Mike Rose.

Mike opened Excel Audio in Newport Beach, California, out of his deep love for vinyl and superb music reproduction. Excel is a classic gathering place, the kind of intimate retail experience that has become all too rare in the digital age. Mike’s clients love to stop by Excel, whether to peruse his vast collection of records, to listen to the latest high-end audio equipment, or just for a friendly chat. It’s a great place to enjoy Wilson Audio’s latest flagship, the Chronosonic XVX, which is now on display at Excel.

It’s also a gathering place for the Orange County Los Angeles Audio Society, LAOCAS.  As can be seen in the pictures from their last event, Mike sure knows how to throw a party!
