About Us

 

Ron Lapporte has been interested in high end audio for many years. He opened Great Lakes Audio in East Lansing, Michigan in the mid-1980's while attending graduate school. Having settled into life as a clinical psychologist, husband and father of twins, he decided to re-enter the world of high-end audio by co-creating Ultimate Audio Video with his brother, Rob.

Ron is recognized by many of his colleagues in the audio field as a true audiophile with a good ear for music and a tireless seeker of perfection in music reproduction. Customers and colleagues find him to be highly knowledgable and well versed with regard to audio equipment, as well as genuinely passionate about music and the machines used to recreate it.

Ron lives by the saying: "Obsession is the lazy man's word for dedication."

Rob Lapporte's interests in music and cinema surfaced at an early age.  His fascination grew with time and was sustained throughout the completion of his medical doctorate and certification in emergency medicine.  By co-founding Ultimate Audio Video, Rob has achieved his goal of integrating his passion for audio/video into everyday life.

Those who know Rob recognize his willingness and ability to immerse himself completely in any task he undertakes.  His insatiable curiosities provide the inspiration for the end product:  the best audio and video experience available.

Rob is grateful for the opportunity to meet his ultimate goal:  to make the word "work" synonymous with "play".
