Because of its successful track record and hard-earned reputation for quality, The Sound Room was selected to provide home entertainment systems for the Crescent, Maryland Walk, the Plaza in Clayton and, most recently, Clayton on the Park. It also has designed installations for major commercial building projects, including schools, museums and corporate board rooms. Kenneth Rubin, CPA and partner at RubinBrown, has known Young since they were classmates at Ladue High School. “David has developed a really nice niche in the home entertainment market,” said Rubin. “Over the years, I’ve seen him fight off the competition and the Big Box retailers with millions in advertising behind them. He’s succeeded because of his focus on quality and service. Customers appreciate the expertise and attention The Sound Room employees provide. Unlike other retailers, The Sound Room stays with the customers after the sale. David and his team want you to be a customer for life.” Similarly, RubinBrown has been providing The Sound Room with accounting and business consulting services since its inception. “I don’t like to make a major business decision without talking to RubinBrown,” says Young. “They’ve been my trusted business advisors for 25 years. Ken has been by my side in every major business move.” Young is invigorated by the constant infusion of new technologies and approaches to the home entertainment industry. He sees The Sound Room continuing to grow with additional locations and services and, of course, new technologies. “When I started this business in 1983, I had no idea that we’d be able to offer systems that do all they do. Who knows what magical media may be down the road?” When asked if he likes what he does, Young replied, “You must be kidding. I have the most fun job of anyone in the world. I’m surrounded by the latest gadgets and toys and quality entertainment and sound systems. I’d want to do this even if I wasn’t getting paid.”
