Gateway Sound grew from a 40 year love affair with music, as well as an audiophile obsession spanning the last 30 years. Paul Van Name, managing partner, has constantly sought high-fidelity sound as a solace from the stress of being a business owner in the industrial components industry. As opportunity knocked on Paul’s door, a passionate hobby grew into entrepreneurial adventure and Gateway Sound was born.

In business since 2006, Paul has created a relaxed and fun atmosphere within Gateway Sound that celebrates the diversity of music and those that love to listen to it. Our valued customers come to us from all walks of life. From truck drivers to doctors, teachers to insurance salesmen and everyone in between, we share something in common with them all – a pure unadulterated love of music and the desire to create and enjoy high-fidelity sound in our homes.

We believe that our business is not about the equipment per se, but about the music and your ultimate enjoyment of it. In fact, at Gateway Sound we pride ourselves on one secret component… our ears. This means we support products that are high-quality and produce an exceptional sound, not the most expensive audiophile flavor of the month. Our goal is to find equipment that sounds good to your ears and ours, equipment that illicits sound which speaks to you on whatever level is most important – whether it be your ears, your heart, or your dream of a private Beatles concert in your living room.
