Really happy with the advice we…

Really happy with the advice we received from Heather and Lloyd. We bought 3 TVs on our second visit to the Watford shop. No pressure sales. Also the recommendation to get Jason to check out our property for a TV aerial was great. We need more kit and will go back to the Watford branch before considering going anywhere else.

They just get it

One minute I’m looking for a new integrated amp, but I am looking for a very specific one, AND it has been replaced by a new model. I bet Richer Sounds has an ex-demo one in great condition. I emailed and two days later it’s plugged in to my system. Lloyd was very helpful when answering my questions. This is a company I enjoy giving money to, because you guys are sound!!

Thank you to an extremely helpful and understanding team

We went to Richer Sounds to get advice and help with a soundbar for my husband who is hard of hearing. They were super helpful allowing a return and assisting us in the shop to find an alternative. Their recommendation of a Geemarc Sonarya is now being followedup. Thank you to an extremely helpful and understanding team. Superb service!

Hifi shopping at its best!…

The guy helping me pick an entry level turntable system was amazing, set it up so I could hear it in the listening room, advised on features possibly other options, knew everything I needed to know and more! Super-helpful, polite, friendly, welcoming. Hifi shopping at its best. All price-matched to Amazon too!! Well done Richer Sounds and the Watford staff are brilliant!!!

A great HiFi experience

I contacted Richer Sounds in Watford - I received great advice from Sammy and then went down to have a demo of the amp I wanted with the speakers I intended to purchase. I was made so welcome. Parking is a problem on a Saturday so I had to park outside in a loading area - the staff kept an eye out for any traffic wardens!
The demo went well and Sammy addressed all my questions. As a result, I purchased an Arcam 5 amp.
Great experience for somebody getting back into HiFi!!

The service was good but unfortunately…

The service was good but unfortunately I did have to call the store and query what I was charged as I was overcharged by £36. I’m not sure why this wasn’t picked up by the salesman that carried out the transaction

Of course if you would like to discuss this further do get in touch via..

Advice and collection

Rang up for advice re deliveries and got excellent guidance. Then rang again for packaging dimensions to see if the boxed TV would fit in my car which the readily gave me. The collection and loading into the car was all very smooth. TV is now installed and in full use.

Nice service from Lloyd at Watford RH

Nice service from Lloyd at Watford RH. Lined up the testing of the Naim Atom v Nova. Patient and enthusiastic, never rush. Brilliant speed with delivery and kept informed throughout.

The maintenance of the highest standards.

As always the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, & Chris in particular, went above & beyond by dismantling my dead CD player in order to extricate the CD that was playing when it died.
It wouldn’t cross my mind to by from anyone else for audio & TV products. The consistency of their delightfully huge levels of proper customer service over so many years is a massive credit to R/S. If only other organisations would follow their example, life would be so much easier for us all.

"Quick off the mark"

I rang Richer Sounds Watford on 23 Dec with a last minute idea for a Christmas present. Did they have a DACmagic200M? No they didn't. But they did get one in by the following day ! I was amazed. I know from past experience that Richer Sounds is a first choice for this type of hardware and you always get good advice to go with it.

My warfedale speakers from Watford richer sounds

Great advice on hi-fi that I am interested in even better customer service for the speakers I bought. Carried out and placed in my car by a nice guy who managed to get them in my car and get the boot shut safely and they were big boxes.
