Hi Guys,

You're certianly not wrong, this really is going to be intersting to say the least, good to see that we are getting noticed though, thanks Rega excellent!

I know I haven't got the most comprehensive list of different brands but my whole thinking behind HiFi lounge is to offer something a little different, so I have spent the last 4 months kitting out a converted granary and I really only want to stock the brands that I believe in personally, brands I'm passionate about, that way hopefully I can offer advice gained from personal experience from owning the products I'm selling.

We may not have the biggest portfolio, sorry, no Linn at the moment, but the brands that we are stocking I intend to carry a very large range of demo stock, which isn't easy when you have to chose from naims range of products I have to say ohhh sure  so we have from the PMC 21's upto the MB2i's, pretty much the whole Rega and Bryston range on demo as well as a large range from Naim.

It's a huge gamble to be honest, and I do wonder if I really am slightly mad but if I can make it work then it will be the best job going so fingers crossed.

So if anyone is curious please feel free to come along to our open weekend at the end of October and join us in a glass of bubbly to celebrate our Grand Opening beauty, eh

Just been checking your website out - not bad!  I will have to come along, wouldn't mind checking out the Oppos and the HiFi racks.

Are you going to have TVs or projectors hooked up?

 

Cheers.

Good luck with the venture.Beautiful surroundings/location. Not that far away in Leighton Buzzard and I'd like to hear the "higher end" and see if my ears can tell the difference.Not sure I can make the opening,though I'd like to,but I will visit.

 

Please feel free to come over whenever you can, for me the fun part is always playing with the kit  Smile

Yes I've got a JVC X30 hooked up at the moment with a 110" screen, I have to say I'm amazed at the quality of the X30, for an entry level JVC the image is stunning, the trouble is though that I've only watched one film on it and already the new models are coming out so I'm going to have to sell it, I guess someone will get a good deal, then I'm hoping to replace it with a X55 with eShift-2  Smile

 

Feel free to come along whenver you can gel.

I love the Hifi Racks, not cheap but look better than anything on the market! 

Would be interested to know what system you have at home Paul considering you will probably listen to hifi all day long - my idea of the ultimate job - seeing people listen to hifi and be blown away!

 

For me there was no other choice than HiFi Racks when looking for a HiFi rack company, I've used them at home for a few years now and they look gorgeous, can be custom built to any size and above all are really nice people to deal with.

Unfortunately my hifi system at home isn't what it once was, I used to have a reasonable Bryston/PMC system but that is now situated in HiFi lounge and all I'm left with is this, beatiful as it is, it isn't quite the same ohhh sure  -

I know, times are hard.

 

Perhaps try Richer Sounds for a good deal ...

 

... they may even take the old wooden box away for you if you ask them nicely. Gives you a bit of much needed room for the micro.
