What to expect
Loudspeakers, amplification, sources and connections need to be compatible.
A good place to start
Describe the room and existing equipment and ask for a relevant demonstration. Check home-trial, setup and returns arrangements before committing to a sound heard only in a showroom.
What to compare
- System compatibility
- Useful demonstration
- Installation and trial terms
Make the visit count
