Chris Gilray, AHA Distributing president said, “There are tremendous benefits in being able to share ideas with the many Catalyst AV member-companies around the country and bring these great lines and educational programs to our dealers; it also takes our Aim High Audio “Big Show” to an entirely new level. We’re all very excited.”
