Great advice resulting in an informed choice

I went in looking at a specific TV, which was made available to me to look at. However, Dan asked me a number of questions to understand what I was really looking for and offered some alternatives, ultimately resulting in me changing my mind. Combined with a refurbished model being available I ended up with a better TV than I was looking for originally and at a lower price. Now that the TV has been delivered and installed, I'm very happy with the performance. No issues at all with the service.

Excellent service at Richer Sounds.

Steve at Richer Sounds was very attentive and quickly identified our needs and budget. As a result, we bought our new 55" OLED LG TV from them and have not looked back since! It has MARVELLOUS picture and sound quality. All thanks to Steve!

Great advice and service

Steve was helpful on my first prospective first visit - providing expert advice about how I might add on to the equipment I already own; and the second when I returned to buy. Great service.

A Philips TV update went wrong and bricked it. The five year warranty paid out, so why would I buy from anywhere else? Richer Sounds is brilliant.

Dan from the Oxford Road store has been a great help for me every time I have been in contact.

After asking questions outside of store hours, I was called within the hour of opening the next day 2 out of 2 times. Helped me source and deliver stock from another store to my address and gave fantastic and preemptive advice. Awesome stuff!

Getting exactly what I wanted... Thank you!

Clear understanding of what I was looking for in terms of sound, environment and connectivity for a speaker and streaming system. Great to have the enclosed demo experience which helped us fully understand the range of speakers we were initially interested in. And we felt we made our own choices with great consistent advice on any topic or any question. Really commend Matt and James for their patience and professionalism. We really enjoy the new LG OLED and look forward to the Dali Omnicons, Arcam SA35 and Chord cable installation soon. Many thanks all. Will certainly recommend RS Reading.

Invaluable advice, great products, great price.

Went in with an open mind for a specific requirement. As usual the guys in Reading had several great options, and their advice and personal experience (matching my home setup) was so much more useful than buying over the internet. Ended up buying something I would have never considered, and they sound superb. The specific colour of speakers I wanted weren’t in stock, but they arrived at my house the next morning!

Thank you for your review, although huge apologies for the delay which was entirely avoidable. We have since spoken to the colleague who initially took the details, and arranged the relevant refresher training.

I do hope all is well with the system, although if I can be of any more help to you do get in touch..

Great as always

Great as always. I've been a customer of Richer Sounds for many years. I have always purchased my home TV & home cinema products from them. The staff are always very polite and helpful. Their knowledge of the products are exceptional. You can even have a trial experience of home cinema. Nothing is too much trouble and great backup service as well.
