We believe we are the best Hi-Fi shop we know for many reasons. We are truly independent and able to select and curate our stock from almost all of the available brands. We offer you the opportunity to try out products in a well designed fully acoustically treated room. This means you will be able to make an informed decision as the differences and unique characteristics of each piece will be far more apparent. We also offer home demonstrations so you can test out system synergy in your own Hi-Fi and listening environment. Add in over 30 years of product knowledge and experience and you have a Hi-Fi shop like any other. So why do we recommend the brands that we do? Read on to find out.
So which brands do we stock and why?
McIntosh – We chose to be a McIntosh dealer in Bath as there are few other brands with such a rich history, distinct brand identity and consistent musical performance across a such a wide range of products. Whatever you are looking for you can be sure that McIntosh will have you covered. McIntosh make everything from headphone amplifiers like the MHA200, DACs, amplifiers, streamers, speakers and cables and in each category you rest assured that the performance will be world class.
McIntosh products tend to be very versatile, stylish and ‘complete’. By this we mean they tend to have every connection you could ever want such as power triggers, headphone sockets, lots of inputs and outputs, great displays, great ergonomics and ease of use and world class performance and reliability.
McIntosh tends to have a very agreeable and popular house sound that audiophiles and music lovers are drawn to and captivated by. Once a McIntosh owner, always a McIntosh owner.
McIntosh build quality is second to none, it falls in to what we describe as heir loom quality. You don’t just buy McIntosh, you invest in McIntosh, you pass McIntosh down through the generations. Like a fine watch you could say you don’t ever own McIntosh, you are simply custodian of it until you hand it on to the next generation.
The brand image, heritage and story adds another dimension to the ownership. Once you know the history, every time you see the iconic blue/green meters and lights it will conjure images of Woodstock and The Grateful Dead in a similar way that the Harley Davidson logo makes you think of bearded guys in leather jackets.
There are few if any other brands that have such all encompassing depth and breadth. This ensures pride of ownership is high and that is a fact.
The Gryphon – If McIntosh is the Harley Davidson or Bentley of the Hi-Fi world The Gryphon is a Formula 1 car. Outright brutal performance, flawless ‘function first’ industrial design. You will have to compromise on size and weight constraints if you want to own gryphon, but if you let it in to your life you will not be disappointed. In comparison to McIntosh you sacrifice things like 12v triggers and universal remotes, but you gain focused outright performance. Its akin to the difference between GT Bentley with air conditioning and land speed record car or dragster!
Visually it is as striking as anything else out there and wears its’ ‘Darth Vader’ looks with pride. Build quality is impeccable, indestructible and unapologetically purposeful. Sound quality is rich, detailed and engrossing. Every Gryphon product is undeniably world class and it is for this reason we are proud to call ourselves a Gryphon dealer in Bath.
Mola Mola – We are proud to be a Mola Mola Hi-Fi dealer in Bath, their innovative approach to audio design and a streamlined portfolio that delivers exceptional sound without fail. The Mola Mola brand has gained recognition for its dedication to pushing the boundaries of sound engineering.
