What best describes your relationship with audio equipment?
I'm passionate about building the perfect audio system piece by piece
How did you first discover Hi-Fi Centre?
Looking for a particular speaker, which Hi-Fi Centre had.
What was your situation before purchasing from us?
I had a pair of 30 year old Missions on stands that I loved but even the addition of a subwoofer didn't give me the lower midrange that I really needed. I bought numerous pairs of other speakers, but ended up selling them because they just didn't have the sound I was looking for.
What specific product(s) did you purchase from Hi-Fi Centre?
Bowers and Wilkins 602 S3
What was the main reason you chose Hi-Fi Centre over other retailers?
Competitive pricing, Product selection, Reputation/reviews
Describe your shopping experience with us
Exceptionally helpful. I needed a pair in white, which they had on the floor. They had to be sent to Ontario, and the staff did an excellent job of packing them up and shipping them. I spent a number of years in the audio business, so I was particular about their condition. They were superb.
How has your new audio setup changed your daily life?
As expected, the extension into the lower midrange/upper bass filled out an area of sound that was missing. The biggest difference, however, is the fullness of range at lower listening levels.
What's your favourite thing about your new system?
I can now sit and listen for hours, enjoying the great soundstage and frequency response. Unfortunately, I get much less done around the house because I'd rather just sit and listen.
Would you recommend Hi-Fi Centre to others? Why?
Absolutely, and I already have. Selection, product knowledge, care of equipment and shipping experience are all outstanding.
What would you tell someone who's considering Hi-Fi Centre?
You won't be disappointed.
Is there anything else about your experience you'd like to share?
Because of these speakers, I ended up buying an older pair of used 600 series for my home theatre.
