“I purchased the Matrix Audio Mini-i power amp that was on a greatly reduced price as ex display. Speedy delivery and excellent communications. The amplifier has given my KEF LS50's the kick they sorely needed. Highly recommend this company.”

“Elite Audio have done it again. The whole team was fantastic, I auditioned several different speakers and had a chat about them with David as we did the trials. Eventually i found my match, which funnily enough are the ones i heard last year when i was trying out different amplifiers. collection date arrived, i'm only a few minutes drive from them, but i couldn't fit the speakers in my car. To avoid two trips Martyn helped me drive one of the boxes home. Rachel’s attention to detail was also impeccable (as previously with the amplifier) and all the documentation was ready for me. Much impressed by your company’s service and equally happy with my new speakers. ou have really showed me what true hi-fi is and sounds like!”

“First contact with Elite Audio was with Mark around 2 years ago when I had a tentative enquiry about the Boenicke w8 speakers. Mark was very enthusiastic and suggested I tried a pair on a 30 day home trial with absolutely no obligation to buy. He ordered me new a pair in my chosen finish and a few weeks later they were delivered and immediately provided a upgrade to my existing (and costlier) speakers. I accepted a very generous part exchange and am still enjoying the Boenicke's. Fast forward 12 months and a high quality integrated amp was on the agenda to partner my Innuos Zenith SE streamer. This time I was dealing with David and he suggested a listen to the Perreaux 255i with internal dac, this duly arrived the following day and immediately provided the effortless, unforced sound I was looking for with substantial bass. I decided to trade in my "French bathroom scales" and was provided with another very generous px. After a couple of weeks I thought the internal dac could be improved and David suggested trying a Aqua dac. He sent down the La Voce and La Scala and after a brief audition it was soon evident that "you get what you pay for" and the La Scala is now happily residing in my system. I can only commend all the team at Elite Audio for enabling me to achieve fantastic sounds at home, with minimum fuss and maximum consideration. While I spent more than originally anticipated I consider it money well spent and Elite are definitely my dealer of choice.”

“I have bought a number of hi fi items from Elite in the past couple of years, and the service is always excellent. Elite takes the time to understand what I'm trying to achieve either with my system as a whole, or a specific component, and provides clear, unbiased and very well-informed advice on what my options are. The logistical side of things is dealt with very well too, in terms of shipping new equipment to me, and collecting anything which I might be part-exchanging. One important thing which is worth mentioning is the excellent after sales service: a new pair of speakers turned out to be faulty (a manufacturer error, and nothing to do with Elite), and Elite quickly worked with the manufacturer to have the speakers replaced with new ones (which were perfectly fine). All in all Elite is the first place I think of when deciding to make a change to my audio system: I'm a very happy customer.”

“Hi Martyn, Dave and Crew, I wanted to email you all to say a sincere thank you! Your service from purchasing to delivery, and advice on set up has been excellent. I will happily recommend your business to friends and family! Special thanks to: Rachael: Good, speedy email replies and invoicing at purchase stage. Martyn: Excellent packing and communication during transport. Dave: Great technical knowledge and enthusiasm to help re set up. Delivery driver (name unknown): He arrived at 9am, when I was at work, leaving my girlfriend as the only person at home. He was very friendly and professional and carried the amp in all by himself (45kg - back breaking), saving my girlfriend the strain of helping to! A real gentleman! In all a 5 Star ⭐️ service! I’ll be back in 2 years (or sooner) to buy a preamplifier. All the very best and kind regards, Craig and Casey”

“Purchased an Octave V40SE on Mark's advice, having been thinking of moving more in the valve direction and wanting to down-size to an integrated. Elite allowed me a very generous month+ home trial, and listening over this period I found it fulfilled my requirements superbly once run-in: richness and musicality of valves combined with some solid-state-like heft, control and PRAT - a very desirable and attractive combination for the range of music I listen to. The Octave is incredibly well built, and easy to operate; it has an innovative eco-mode system which saves on power whilst prolonging valve life and speeding-up warm-up time. The 40 watts output seems to me very understated - I've had 100+ watt amplifiers which provided less power; it has marvellous soundstage, depth, focus, and is totally non-fatiguing to listen to for long periods - a great integrated amplifier which performs as well as or better than several high-end separates that I've previously used. Elite/Mark were absolutely spot-on with this recommendation - and a completely un-pressurised sale. Thank you!”

“I live in the U.S. and wanted to purchase my first set of "Audiophile" quality speakers. I fell in love with the Triangle Australe EZ. Scouring the internet for a good deal I found a set that was used as a demo by Elite Audio. I immediately sent in the money. The system didn't recognize that I was outside the UK ans grossly underestimated the shipping. The next morning I received an email explaining that the shipping would be much more as they wanted to ship air freight with the speakers on a pallet for protection. They apologized for the miscalculated shipping and offered to send me a brand new pair of the speakers instead of the demo's. Of course I agreed, sent in the money for extra shipping. When they contacted me to say that the speakers were ready to ship, they mentioned that I would need to hire a customs broker to help the speakers clear through customs. I did not expect this and was very frightened of the process. A quick google search found me even more frustrated after hearing about peoples horror stories of having their goods destroyed or confiscated at the port because the customs clearance paperwork was not done correctly. I emailed back and said I was not told about this and asked if I could have a refund instead as the whole customs thing sounded too difficult to pull off. I received an email back from Elite Audio's logistics manager Martyn. He calmed me down and assured they would help me throughout the whole process. They pointed me toward a customs broker, played intermediary between myself and the courier. I was simply blown away at the level of professionalism and customer service. Martyn could have taken the easy path and issued me a refund and found a buyer in the U.K. Instead he helped me through every part of the journey. My speakers arrived a few short days later and I am blown away with the quality. I am so glad that I decided to stick it out through the process instead of getting a refund. These speakers are near impossible to come by in the U.S. and they are worth every penny. I work for the Lexus Corporate offices here in the U.S, and part of our motto for customer service is " Treat every customer as you would a guest in your home." This is exactly the kind of treatment I was given by all the people at Elite Audio. I felt like more than just a "dollar sign." Cannot recommend this company enough! You will not be disappointed!”

“I contacted Elite Audio's David about a vinyl record cleaning machine and we settled on a Pro-Ject VC-S Mark II. The cleaner has made a marked improvement to the sound quality of my vinyl replay, removing the veiling dirt from the grooves and allowing the music to come through. It's very simple to use. It's design protects the record label from cleaning fluid and, through the platter-less construction, avoids cleaned vinyl surfaces being re-contaminated. So I am a happy customer made so through a combination of an excellent product combined with outstanding customer service. Thank you.”

“In short: It would be awesome if every single company provided such high-quality service! In few more words now... My journey with Elite Audio has been quite a long now... We started a couple of years ago. We went through 3 pairs of speakers and two pair of cables and matching jumpers, 1 turntable and phono stage, rounds of deliveries, negotiations, etc. They have been extremely patient, and carefully listened to my point of view and concerns, always trying to find a solution that would be a win-win. I can trust they would NEVER leave me unhappy. Elite Audio was always trying to accommodate for my needs, provided professional and accurate advice, was able to pinpoint exactly to their best belief what would be the right solution for what I need to hear. And it’s not always easy to explain your listening perception, or understand that of another human. I can trust, they are very professional in what they do and can answer your needs. I think what impressed me the most, was that at every single step, they worked as a team, were very knowledgeable, keen on RESOLVING my requests, accurate in posting and deliveries, very precise in all the information like pricing, conditions, arrangements. Extremely trustworthy. Of course, mistakes do happen, and sometimes something was not right, but they always excelled at resolving every single issue. Altogether, my history with Elite Audio went through: - Testing two pair of speakers (unfortunately, one pair was damaged by the courier, another pair was sent by mistake being after demo, not new – both issues were taken care of by EA quickly and professionally). Eventually, I bought 1 of the pair. - Selecting and buying speaker cables and jumpers - After 1y, working to improve the speaker set. EA was kind enough to allow me to test a pair of speakers for 1 month. We then negotiated the conditions of the sale, EA accepted a trade in of the previously bought speakers and made a great deal on the new pair of speakers, going the extra mile to understand my concerns and arranging a true win-win deal. - EA allowed me to test a hi-end turntable with a hi-end phono stage. I haven’t decided to buy the set. Vinyl turned out to be not my world. - When asked for help, EA helped me to select a better matching pair of speaker cables and jumpers, making a great offer, and again, accepting a trade-in of the previously purchased cables and jumpers. I am truly grateful for all the help, time and effort on their part. I am not an easy customer, to say the least. But now, can’t imagine working with any other audio equipment studio.”

“Just a quick note to say another big thank you for your great advise and time . I am totally delighted with the Zennith. It was ridiculously easy to set up with Roon and Wow I didn’t realise how good Roon is! It’s a powerful bit of software and works a treat on the Zennith. It sounds fab. Quite a step up from the IMac! Roons new release also allows squeeze box integration to enable memory play. Nice touch. One very happy customer here again as a third time customer from Down South!”

“Many thanks to Mark and the team and a special mention for Rachael . I was interested in a part exchange and thought that mine being a high value item might hinder any deal . I was wrong . Elite contacted me the next day and told me that they would be back with an offer in two days . True to their word thats exactly what happened. I thought about it and took them up on their offer a couple of days later . Elite took care of all the logistics and a few days later my new amp had arrived. Exemplary and informative service all round every step of the way . Recommended”

“Elite audio...How do I rate the company? Well, I have dealt with them over quite a few years now and have received nothing but highly professional, honest and most importantly friendly relationship with them, they don’t care if you’re looking to spend £5 or £5000 the service you receive is exactly the same. I have just purchased a stunning Gato DIA-250s and I’m absolutely over the moon with it...Many thanks and well done as usual Mark & Co...

“Absolutely delighted with Elite Audio Ltd. I purchased a new stereo amplifier from them and David and the team were very supportive with my requirements. From the first visit, the service, human attention to customers and no hard-sale attitude is just impeccable. Many people will find the experience of approaching a high-end HiFi business daunting, and although it can be (from my experience of other outlets), this wasn't the case with Elite Audio Ltd and I am sure i will be going back in years to come till I purchase my whole system. The photo is from the listening area I sat at to listen to the amp.”

“Gosh, what can I say! Made a second 400 mile trip upto Elite Audio to see Mark, David, Grant and the gang to to really solidify the system we started and improve my education in music reproduction. It was a great morning of demoing and having conversations around what we really wanted out of our music. David showed us a fantastic example of what was "hifi" and what was "music". We moved forward with our system with the purchase of a few items that really gets to the heart of the music and what we want out of our system. David and Mark were excellent and the whole team looked after us, as usual. Beautiful relaxed atmosphere that we love. Again, well worth the trip up Herts and am planning another venue in Marchish. Again, many thanks, you make the owning and purchasing a hifi a joy. Shari and Liz”
