James was very helpful and efficient. From boxes being sent from sound affair for me to pack up large items, to uplift and payment being made the process was seamless. Great company to deal with and would happily recommend

brought some Beolab 3's with the stand that sound affair made them self. I don't know if James is the only one in the company, but he's the only one I doubt with. The Beolab 3's are in mint condition and look really nice with the stands. He also brought my Beoplay V1 and that went smoothly. and as I was local he delivered the speakers and collected the tv at the same time.
Thank you James Five stars

5* Service and Products

James and the Team provide 5* Customer Service, and the B&O Gear they sell is like new. Excellent Quality, Service and super friendly and personal help if something turns not out as it should be. My highest recommendation! Super happy with my Beosound9000 Mk2 and the fantastic stand.

A1 Service

It would be fair to say that I was a little uneasy about selling my system by completing a form and conducting everything by email and mobile phone. I’ve never done anything quite like this before but I’d do it again if I was dealing with James.

Everything was so simple and James went out of his way to help, even to the point of contacting me by phone rather than email to make sure I fully understand.

Great service fronted by one fantastic guy. Thanks James for all your help and your fantastic service.

Outstanding service.

From the start to the end of the transaction James was professional, courteous and efficient. I was looking to sell my B&O equipment when I contacted sound-affair and was immediately impressed with the response from James. We negotiated a fair price and a date and time of pick up and received email confirmation of the arrangement. All went as planned and it was so refreshing to receive such excellent, stress free, service which is all the more commendable given the challenging times we are living through.
I would unreservedly recommend sound-affair and would have no hesitation in using them again in the future.

Bang and Olufsen still the best!

I've loved and owned Bang and Olufsen equipment for years and I found James extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. It was such a relief to find a company where I could find a replacement for my old Beocentre and I purchased a 3200 unit with a pair of 6000 speakers a few days ago. The equipment arrived very well packed and the sound is outstanding as expected. James replied to any queries I had quickly and professionally. Great service. Thank you so much. Lisa

Really fast and friendly service

Really fast and friendly service. James from Sound-Affair emailed me within a day of my web enquiry requesting a few more details. Within 2 days we’d agreed a price and he’d arrived to pick up the kit. Payment was made there and then by bank transfer. Excellent service, highly recommended.

Excellent Service

I sold my Penta speakers to James, he arrived on time and also kindly took my Beocentre and Beogram to his repair technician for a service on his way back. I would not hesitate to strongly recommend James.
