Can’t say it was particularly GREAT

Can’t say it was particularly GREAT. I said what I wanted (a CD deck). A number of alternatives were shown to me OnLine and I chose one of them. RS didn’t have it in stock so I had to wait a few days for delivery.
The one problem with the product I received is that it didn’t have the curved top edge shown in the OnLine photograph I was shown but life is too short to pursue a quibble.
This note is not meant as a serious criticism.

Still giving a great service after all these years

When visiting Richard sounds I knew I was interested in the Cambridge evo but had no idea whether it would be the right product for me and what speakers I would want . I dealt with Peter first then Elliot both were really helpful and nothing was too much effort . I was steered towards any products or pressured to purchase anything . Do te decision at the end was all mine I was just given helpful advice . When I finally purchased I found Steve really helpful and I was made to feel I would of gotten the same service wether I spent 100s or 1000s so thanks again for your help and I’m really happy with my choice.

Great phone advice on what (to me at least) was a complicated connection issue. Friendly service. And the advice worked!

First class service from Richer Sounds

As always, first class service from Richer Sounds staff at Holborn.
Wharfedale 9.0 speakers arrived very quickly, even though I did not pay for an expedited order.
They are such quality speakers for such a bargain price.
Folk might like larger speakers and pay more, as I have for another room, but these small Wharfedales are something all of their own - diminutive and unfussy; providing a detailed and lovely listening experience. Nothing to compete with them at all.

I was truly sorry to read your feedback, further your purchase of one of the clearance models from our website. These should feature all essential accessories, such as the stand so I will of course investigate with the service team as to why this didn't happen with your purchase.

It's also disappointing to read of the handling of the matter, which I will also investigate, as which is well below what we would expect. Whilst obviously things do go wrong from time to time we should always bend over backwards to rectify issues like this as a priority.

I will arrange for one of the team to contact you to put this right asap and either get the parts to you urgently or replace the item with another.

I always come to Riches Sounds to buy my serious hifi purchases. The advice and warmth and customer service is second-to-none. It's one thing to look at something online and wonder if it's good as the reviews say it is. It's another to go to Richer Sounds and know that what you're being recommended is worth it.

Majority dvd player

Bought a Majority dvd player which is excellent which seems to transpose audio into text which is brilliant.
Also if you register with Majority get a three year warranty.
