RE: Sevenoaks Sound and vision

What do you mean by "loads of stores"? Sevenoaks & Audio T merger have resulted in a few stores closing if they're covering the same area, like Bolton & Lancaster:

They're financially strong.

Sevenoaks are well respected retailers & it's perfectly safe to buy from them, either in store or online. I got my stuff from Sevenoaks.

Yes, you should be fine to buy from Sevenoaks. They're a reputable retailer and carry a wide range of stock. The store closures are part of a restructuring programme following the merger with Audio T.

Aren't Sevenoaks stores independently owned franchises?
