Well, we are now in our Residential Hi-Fi Facility and very pleasant it is too. No more struggling through the traffic and ducking the Traffic Wardens in St.Albans, our customers park right outside and watch the Ducks on the pond. So much more relaxing. And a big thank you to all our old customers who have taken the trouble to visit us. You are always welcome.

Harbeth speakers have rapidly established themselves as our number one best selling speaker. BBC heritage, superb build and stunning sound make a very persuasive package and the prices are very reasonable too. Their latest little miracle is the tiny P3ESR, a two-way mini monitor with a huge sound guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Such is the popularity of this mighty little box that there is now a short waiting list but it's worth it. We have all the domestic Harbeth's on permanent demonstration. The very best stands to put your Harbeth speakers on are made by Something Solid. Hand made to order from your dimensions, they are constructed from 1/2 inch section steel bar. Unobtrusive and elegant, they are by far the best speaker stands I know of. Whatever your speaker, we can have stands made to suit.

Rega has literally stunned us with their top of the range Osiris integrated amp. Fabulous build, beautiful, elegant styling, top-notch reference quality sound and power aplenty for the most difficult speakers are what distinguishes this amazing machine apart from practically anything else you care to name. Of course, such sophistication and quality can't come cheap but at a gnat's under £6K, it is actually good value.

And now we have just received the very first Rega Isis CD player  -  the Tube version. Yes, tubes in a Rega CD player !!! It had to happen as Rega's chief designer, Terry Bateman, is a tube Wiz and has been building tube amps for 30 years or so. His tubed CD player is a natural progression. The Rega Isis (tubed) is the best CD player I have heard and at £6998 is not out of reach. For more information please click here.

Croft Acoustics are back with the start of a very exciting new range of tube/hybrid amplifiers. For those with a long memory, we have the Micro 25 pre-amp, featuring an excellent MM phono stage and their trademark dual volume controls. The hybrid Series 7 power-amp is around 45 watts with drive aplenty for difficult loads. I was expecting great things from this combo but they have exceeded my expectations by being amongst the very best amps I have used and at £700 apiece, what more can I add? Except that Croft now have a Micro Basic pre which includes a truly excellent MM phono stage all for £350. Incredible !!! How does he do it ? Why does he do it ? I've heard many far worse pre's at £2K and above. The bargain of the decade.

Not exactly new but new to us - we are proud to present the Tannoy Prestige range of speakers. All feature the wonderful Tannoy Dual Concentric driver at their hearts and craftsman built cabinets in a range of traditional styles. These fantastic speakers need to be heard if you are looking for unsurpassed dynamics, prescence, ease and lifesize music.

Ever heard of Black Ravioli ? Well you will. It's not an exotic, pasta based food but an isolation/coupling device like no other and I say this because it actually works really wel and doesn't cost a fortune. You can use it with any equipment on any existing shelf or rack and it definitely improves the sound dramatically. We have Black Ravioli on demonstration now.

We now have the pretty little Neat Elite SX floor standing speaker on demonstration. Huge tactile sounds from a petite, beautifully finished dare I say it ?) neat cabinet at just £1975. This one bridges the gap between Motive and Momentum ranges.
