This location offers homeowners, interior designers, architects, and builders an immersive, hands-on environment to explore the pinnacle of smart living, home entertainment, and design-integrated automation.

"This Wayne location isn't your typical showroom—it's a curated experience center where homeowners, architects, designers, and builders can see, hear, and feel what's possible," Andrew Davis, who took the reins as Managing Partner of World Wide Stereo when the company strategically partnered with Maryland-based Gramophone last year, said. "With nearly a century of combined expertise from World Wide Stereo and Gramophone, we’ve created something unmatched in the tri-state area. Bob Cole built something extraordinary, and we’re proudly building on that legacy and taking it to the next level."

The Wayne showroom will showcase some seriously sneaky tech—speakers invisibly embedded in walls, subwoofers disguised as garden decorations, and TVs that vanish into artwork when not in use.

Smart home systems offer intuitive control over lighting, temperature, security, and entertainment, plus AI-enhanced security cameras that distinguish between your teenager coming home late and an actual intruder.

Inside the Wayne Experience Center, guests will discover:

  • A cinematic home theater with a powerful 9.4.4 surround sound system
  • An acoustically perfected two-channel listening suite with high-fidelity music
  • Architectural-grade invisible speakers, garden décor subwoofers, and televisions that transform into framed art when not in use
  • Seamlessly integrated smart home systems for lighting, security, climate, and entertainment
  • AI-enhanced surveillance and advanced security solutions
  • Designer-grade tunable white and RGBW LED lighting
  • Complete low-voltage AV and high-voltage electrical services, all under one roof

Visible from Lancaster Avenue, a dramatic 150-inch video wall anchors the building's facade—a bold architectural statement and a new Main Line landmark. The Wayne Experience Center stands as the region's only integrated showroom and service provider, uniting advanced smart technology, complete AV design, and licensed electrical services under one roof.

"As the industry evolves, we remain rooted by our belief that technology should enhance how people live—beautifully, seamlessly, and with soul," Emily Cole, Chief Marketing Officer at World Wide Stereo, said. "Our clients aren't just looking for electronics; they're looking for elevated experiences tailored to their lives and homes. That's where we shine."

The Experience Center will also host a vibrant calendar of events for public and industry partners, including:

  • Bring Your Own Vinyl (BYOV):Monthly gatherings for music lovers
  • Cars & Coffee: Weekend meetups featuring luxury vehicles and tech demos
  • Happy Hours and Open Houses: Social events with live demos, guest speakers, and exclusive promotions
  • Seasonal Showcases: Timed to holidays and lifestyle moments, spotlighting the latest in smart living
