Monday 26th March
We get the working week underway with a local install in Hull. After coming in to listen to several options in our demonstration room, our customer opted for the Roksan Caspian amplifier and matching CD Player with KEF R700 speakers. He also invested in Chord Epic speaker cable and a Chord Epic RCA interconnect.
Tuesday 27th March
Tuesday is a slightly different day for us. We’ve got the chaps from REL Acoustics popping in to pay us a visit, We’ll make sure the we have a mug of the finest Yorkshire tea ready! It’s always great to see members of the industry pop in, it allows us to turn our focus to a particular brand, serving as a nice refresher course and to possibly learn about any new products on the horizon.
Wednesday 28th March
Day three of our working week sees us hit the road, this time to Southport on Merseyside. This person approached us looking to part exchange their ProAc D28 speakers against the Monitor Audio PL200 II, although they did want to hear the PL200 II before purchasing them. This isn’t a problem for us and have offered a home audition. We’ll set off Wednesday morning and look to get to Southport for around midday, then we can unbox and set up the speakers, making it a hassle free experience.
Thursday 29th March
Thursday our good friends PMC Speakers are coming to pay us a visit. As mentioned earlier its always great to see members of the industry, especially ones we work so closely with like PMC. A brew and a lowdown on all the latest PMC Speakers, AVM Audio and Bryston news is on the cards.
Friday 30th March
We’ve got a demonstration booked on Good Friday, our customer has made their mind up on what speakers they want to purchase, the Dali Epicon 2 standmounts, but now needs to decide on want amplification to use. The demo will pit two fantastic integrated amps against each other, a choice between either the Sugden A21SE or the Musical Fidelity M6Si. A demonstration we’re looking forward to hearing the results of.
Saturday 31st March
Our working week and March ends with two Hull based home auditions. First up we are setting up the Leema Agena phono stage in a customer’s house, who is looking to upgrade his phono stage.
After that we’ll move onto our second home audition which is a power amplifier shoot out. The customer currently uses PMC Twenty5 23 Speakers and Linn pre amplifier, but is looking to move from their Cyrus X200 mono power amplifiers to either the Chord Electronics SPM1200 MKII stereo power amplifier or two Bryston 7B3 mono power amps.
