About Us

Does it sound superb? Does it foster beautiful aesthetics? Are the performance and functionality superior? These three fundamental questions inspired Chris LaPlante to establish Mount Rose Music. A lifelong audiophile, Chris is no hi-fi neophyte. With over 30 years of expertise in sound decibels, acoustics, and vibration treatment, he is recognized within the industry as the “Cynosure of Sound.”

After selling Excalibur Engineering, the successful business he founded, Chris pursued his passion for premier entertainment systems. He introduced elite products and unique brands to those who seek distinction in sight and sound. Every system at Mount Rose Music is carefully selected by a panel of experts to enhance life, home, and office.

Chris believes entertainment should honor clarity, beauty, and ease. His philosophy led to the simple yet sterling idea: to design entertainment systems that “look good, sound good, and work good.” Too often, he has encountered systems that lack quality, require constant upgrades, and fail to deliver a superior experience. A former United States Marine, Chris understands excellence. “I know the difference when it comes to distinction. When an entertainment system is designed for an individual from conception to completion, it’s magic meshing with science,” he states.
