There’s always that one person who seems impossible to buy for every holiday season—your sports-fan sister, your movie-buff father, your tech-wizard brother, your cost-conscious spouse. What do they all have in common? Electronics are integral to their passions—but they can be incredibly hard to shop for.

With Alamo Electronics, finding the perfect gift has never been easier. Tim May, Director of Integrated Solutions, and Shawn Amann, Store Manager, know the perfect presents to “wow!” everyone on your list.

For The Ultimate Entertainment Experience:
1. Sony 77" XR77A95L OLED Television
2. Sony HT-A7000 Soundbar 

“The Sony 77 is Sony’s best television,” Shawn shares. “It’s their flagship piece and has the best picture on the market—it’s something that drives the newer technology and is high-performing. This is for someone who really values state-of-the-art video performance—it’s top-of-the-line. There are some really good reviews about how it’s the greatest TV ever made … Sony’s newest generation of TVs have all the best technology, performance and picture.”

For the Best Sound Quality: 
1. KEF LS50 Meta Bookshelf Speakers
2. Marantz Model 40 Integrated Amp

“KEF is a British company that has sold speakers for 60 years,” Shawn explains. “They range in price from hundreds to hundreds of thousands because these speakers are that high performance—it’s high-quality for the audio enthusiast. Audio is an integral part to any electronic experience because it plays such a role in aiding emotional engagement, and these speakers are very precise. There’s a lot of diversity to choose from.”

For the Cost-Conscious:
1. Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC Turntable
2. Sonos Move 2 Portable Speaker

“Both of these pieces are reasonably priced for someone who wants to upgrade their original systems or add to them—but the turntable comes in many colors and is about the least expensive turntable we sell,” Shawn says. “I’ve sold these as gifts—this particular turntable has a lot of value for the money ... these aren’t chintzy little Bluetooth speakers. Clients (and their kids) are getting back into them. We’re really blessed that there are so many record stores around here.”
