Always a great service

Always a great service. Did a click and collect and they were quick and efficient and carried the item to the car for me. I’ll always come here for my AV stuff if I can.

Listening room

Friendly and helpful staff. Had to wait a while as other staff were sorting boxes in the listening room. Once they were gone, staff took down from display and set up the two amplifiers that I wanted to compare. The staff were very knowledgeable about the amps (although they preferred the Arcam 5). I was given a soft drink and they left me to listen to the cds I brought with me. Not rushed, probably there for an hour altogether.
I chose the Audiolab 6000 amp, was given a good price and it was delivered two days later. All good.

Very impressed!

Couldn't have wished for a better experience. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, great range of products and competitive pricing. I recently purchased a TV from them and won't be going anywhere else when I upgrade my sound system.

Trav did a wonderful job

Trav did a wonderful job. Called prior to let me know he was coming. Was kind enough to ask if we wanted him to remove his shoes. Very polite and courteous. Talked us through any aftercare enquiries and was quick to deliver.

I LOVE 4K

Decided to retire my twenty year old panny plasma, it was only 720p. Moved to a 65 inch TCL c8k and the picture is insane.
