Our History

Valentino Home Entertainment started business as Audio Resource in Metairie in 1996. We soon became one of the Gulf South’s largest retailers and installers of high-quality audio and video components, attracting legendary elite brands such as B&W, McIntosh, MartinLogan, and Runco. We had long considered opening a location in Baton Rouge, and in 2005, the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina finally pushed us to move our operations north. In 2007, we changed our name to Valentino Home Entertainment and opened our spacious, stylish Baton Rouge showroom.


Our Philosophy

We want you to be 100% satisfied with every purchase from us, every system we design for you, and every component we install for you. That’s why we personally review and test these products in our own home theaters before we bring them into the store. This way, we can assure that every product delivers the performance you want—and that we know every product backward and forward before it ever enters a customer’s home. Visit our showroom and experience the unique synergy of the world’s finest audio/video components with the region’s most knowledgeable and passionate home entertainment experts.
