Getting back into playing vinyl? Doug Brady Hi-Fi has the answers!

Demand for the latest Rega RP1 and RP3 turntables has seen Cheshire-based Hi-Fi retailer Doug Brady Hi-Fi dedicate a Rega Expert within the team to deal with the increasing volume of enquiries about the award winning British turntables. With both the Rega RP1 and Rega RP3 winning What Hi-Fi Best Turntable awards today, it looks like it is going to be a busy time for the new appointment!

Doug Brady Hi-Fi is one of the UK's top Hi-Fi experts and specialists and they are frequently consulted for advice on all Hi-Fi systems, from a budget turntable purchase to get back into vinyl, to large scale custom installations for homes and businesses. Doug Brady are turntable specialists with over 50 years of experience in the business, and have earned their reputation as one of the foremost authorities on home audio systems. Turntable enquiries are on the increase again, and the latest Rega RP3 turntables one of the most talked models.

The new Doug Brady Hi-Fi appointment has been dealing with enquiries about the latest lines of Rega RP1 and RP3 decks. "He's a great character and a great guy, and lives and breathes turntables. If there is something he doesn't know about the Rega RP1 and RP3, it's probably not worth knowing" says Doug Brady Hi-Fi MD Charles Clowes

It has been a good year for the British turntable manufacturer, with two What Hi-Fi Best Buy awards just received today. The brand had already won a best buy award in the 2010 reviews for the impressive Rega RP1, and it has retained its title in this year's awards, being the best turntables up to £400 by some margin. 

The upgrade to the Planar 3 turntable series; the new Rega RP3, has similarly won an award clinching the best turntable in the £400-£1000+ category. The attractive sleek designs of Rega RP1 and RP3 turntables has certainly added to the brands appeal, but it is the quality of the components which has set the brand ahead of the competition. " You get a lot of turntable for your money with Rega," points out Clowes

Vinyl may have had its ups and downs; however it is enjoying something of a revival as people are discovering old record collections, and celebrity DJs are inspiring a new generation to the sound quality and fun which can be had with records. With dedicated staff now on hand, Doug Brady can provide extra help to customers just starting out or when upgrading a new system, to get the most out of the latest Rega turntables and to incorporate them into an existing Hi-Fi set up.

Monitor Audio bring Exceptional Value and Unbeatable Sound as Sales Soar

Every now and again a product is released which offers such tremendous value for money and performance that it becomes the benchmark by which all other manufacturers are judged.

The latest speakers from Monitor Audio are one such product, with the Monitor Audio Bronze BX2 one of the best loudspeaker products to reach the market in recent years. Whilst the quality of sound is first rate and matches that of many high end speakers, what sets these speakers aside from the competition is the price, with the Monitor Audio BX2 speakers available for under £300, and even as low as £225 a pair at Cheshire based Doug Brady HiFi.

“The Monitor Audio Bronze BX2 5.1 makes for a breathtaking audio visual experience as part of a home cinema system, and reproduces sound with exceptional realism. They are a real budget blockbuster” says a proud Stephen Oakes, Product Manager at Doug Brady HiFi.

The Monitor Audio Bronze BX2 packs in the technology, and features numerous tweaks to the winning design to further improve performance. The updates include a 65mm C-CAM® bass mid range driver and HiVe®II port technology to increase the transit of air from the cabinet for a more dynamic bass. The Monitor Audio BX 2 also uses a new 25mm (1") C-CAM® tweeter, which provides an extended frequency response up to 30KHz.

In contrast to previous Monitor Audio models, the mid base driver is bolted to the back of the cabinet leaving the front uncluttered for a crisp and clean look, best appreciated without the magnetic grille. However the aesthetics of the design are secondary to the improvement in performance which the new design offers, as the absence of extra screws helps to reduce vibrations to produce an ultra crisp and clear sound across the full range of frequencies.

The Monitor Audio BX2 series has improved crossover, and is capable of providing an excellent stereo image even in a room of limited space. The loudspeakers function perfectly well up against a wall or on a bookshelf, although for the full effect it pays to give the speakers a little room to breathe and mount them on high quality stands. It is the flexibility that the speakers offer which is part of the appeal, making them suitable for most home audio setups, even when space is limited.

For anyone working to a tight budget, there is little comparison for under £300, something which has not been lost on Doug Brady HiFi customers, with sales of the Monitor Audio Bronze BX2 soaring both online and at their flagship Cheshire store.

“We believe the Monitor Audio Bronze BX2 is the best buy under £300, but we like to put our money where our mouth is, and offer our customers the chance to find out for themselves in our Hi-Fi demonstration rooms. We are sure that after hearing the quality of the sound few will argue that the Monitor Audio Bronze BX2 price is nothing short of exceptional for the quality provided.” says Oakes

DoubBrady HiFi has increased stocks of its Black, Walnut, Rosemah and Natural Oak vinyl wood-finish speakers to cope with current demand, with the speakers now available direct from its website with free UK delivery.
