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.

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.
