 The Paragon Story

Paragon Video and Stereo was founded by Steve and Mary Puntillo in 1988 (although Steve has owned Hi-Fi stores since 1973).

They built Paragon out of a passion for offering quality audio and video products that are a cut above. Steve has always had a passion for vintage electronics, which drives him to repair many older pieces which would otherwise be thrown away. That same passion helps Paragon choose products which are built to last, and not to be disposable.

Steve also loves teaching people about the history of electronics, and that is what motivated him to start his museum project.

Mary is a pioneer in Madison, offering Custom Installation and Home Theater systems when few had heard of the terms. She has a long list of clients who have smiles on their faces because she found solutions nobody else was able to think of.

Client Testimonials


Hi Mary,

I know we said we didn't need
full-house audio, but we were wrong!
We're so grateful you took the time to show us how we could do it easily
and affordably using wiring we didn't even know was here.

There isn't a day goes by that we don't appreciate everything you
did to give us excellent sound throughout our new place.

You have to come back for a visit
--it was great fun having you here
for the install and we would love
for you to see (um, hear)
the results of your great work.

Molly Rose and Michael




Mary K.:
Just a note to tell you my system is working well.
You did such a great job of designing it..."



Hi Steve,
Just to let you know that I built a dovetailed cabinet for on top of my son’s dresser to house the MC250, preamp and tuner. It’s all set up now and he’s one happy person with the whole setup. He’s hearing sounds from his records he never heard before.
Thanks for all your help in solving my challenge and at a reasonable price.

Hi Steve,
Just a note to say thank you for helping me with the Marantz TT-15 turntable purchase, and for taking the time to discuss different audio solutions with me!
Thanks again. I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Brian



Hi Mary,
The install went without a hitch thanks to your advice and direction. I like the new unit better than the old because it is easier to program station presets.
I really appreciate your help with the replacement unit. Good job!
Take care.

Dear Steve and Mary,
Are we having a ball with our home theatre! We've enjoyed it for just over two months. We appreciate your patience and we never would have "popped" for our system without your professional, low-key approach."



Dear Mary: I'm writing to let you know how much
I continue to enjoy my home theatre/surround sound system...
How nice that all this pleasure has also introduced me to great people-more "friends" than salespeople. Thanks for all your help and support!"
