LOL. All hi-fi dealers HATE Julian Richer! It reveals their ridiculous
margin! I don't mind paying more for good advice and service, but
Sevenoaks just don't cut it there.
On the other hand Richer are getting better and no-longer *just* shift
boxes. That actually know a fair bit in some stores. Julian's Audio
Partnership Group now also owns a fair few manufactures:

Cambridge Audio
Eltax
Mordant Short
Opus (Multi Room Systems)
Sherwood

And those are the ones I can remember!

Many thanks

Rob Mouser
