What’s On Demonstration
Real systems, set up and ready to hear in our Shrewsbury listening room. What’s playing changes as new equipment arrives and different combinations are prepared — here’s what’s on demonstration right now.
Arrange a Demonstration
This page is the honest answer to “what can I actually hear if I visit?” Below is the equipment currently set up in the listening room, along with a few things we keep in stock that can be connected with a little notice. We’re authorised dealers for every brand we stock, so everything you hear comes with a full manufacturer warranty and genuine UK support.
You can read more about how our demonstrations work, or arrange a listening appointment and tell us what you’d like to hear.
Not everything we supply is permanently on demonstration. Demonstration systems change as new products arrive and different combinations are prepared. If there’s a particular product or comparison you’re interested in, let us know before your visit and we’ll prepare the right system.
Green items are connected up and playing now; amber items are in the showroom and can be wired in for your visit.
Amplification
The heart of the system. We’ll happily swap amplifiers over while you listen, so you can hear how each one shapes the same loudspeakers. Wondering about valves? Our valve vs transistor guide explains the differences.

Hear It in Your Own Room
For more substantial systems, or where the room is likely to play a particularly important part, we can arrange a home demonstration across Shropshire once we’ve narrowed the options together.
Moving on from equipment you already own? We welcome trade-ins against your next system, and our in-house workshop can look after the equipment you keep.
Quick questions
Do I need an appointment to hear something?
Visits work best arranged in advance — it gives us time to have the right equipment connected and warmed through. Arrange a demonstration and tell us what you’d like to hear.
Can I hear something that is not on this page?
Usually, yes. We can often arrange equipment from the brands we stock with a little notice, including special orders — just ask before your visit.
What does “available to demo” mean?
It means we hold the product but it is not currently wired into a system. Tell us before your visit and we’ll have it connected and ready when you arrive.
Can I trade in my current equipment?
Yes — we welcome trade-ins against anything you hear here. Bring your equipment or tell us about it and we’ll value it towards your next system.
Tell Us What You’d Like to Hear
Get in touch before your visit and we’ll have the right equipment set up and warmed through when you arrive — or call us on 01743 234945 to talk it through first.
