Another vote for Stan Beresford, nothings too much trouble for Stan service by email and texts throughout my purchase a couple of weeks ago.
Due to my remote location deep in Cornwall and lack of many HiFi outlets in the County, I've used Superfi and had excellent service with next day delivery.

I would like to add Doug Brady Hifi in warrington to this list if I may. They've been looking after me for the last 5/6 years or so, always very welcoming, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. There is no hard sell from them, they only want to sell you products that they would be happy to use themselves. Back up from them has been great too. I have 3 hifi shops in the city where I live but I am more than happy to travel the 25 miles to use these guys.
Bump for Stan. Great service all round. Lovely experience, got exactly what I was after

Praise for the gents at Elite Audio,
Usual good welcome with time for a bit of banter and to see some of the nice products on display. Didn't even carry my speakers out of the car and new speakers plus stands carried to the car. As always 1st class. Loving the new speakers as well. Pair of Wharfedale Linton Heritage. Performing as we speak with amazing clarity and sound stage. And the wife loves them as well. Was actually in the audience last night listening to Dan Fogelberg at Carnegie.
Will be visiting them again methinks.
Colin
Regards
Robin

I travel a fair bit anyway, live in central Glasgow during the week and was originally brought up in east. So was at Leuchars for a supercar race day a present for my son and it seemed only manners that I go and see the team at Elite . Have dealt with Mark and Gary for many years and always good service and deals. Speakers are just what I needed great performance for the money. Problem is I saw some nice shiny toys in the store so will have to return. I can recommend a visit.
