I'm a repeat customer of Superfi Birmingham. Fine shop with friendly staff and usuaally good advice without a hard-sell approach! Popped in on saturday just been out of interest to see if i could try out the NAD Viso 5. Was served by a very friendly indian girl who set the system up and then (after one aborted attempt- dvd of spiderman was rejected by the system) stuck Gladiator in to demo the box. My word the system was noisy. In fact, I've heard tractors that are quieter than the racket this box was making. With a quizzical look on her face I sent her out to see if the noise was 'normal'....... "it's just the fan" apparently..... I mean, this thing was like an earthquake! Anyway, after trying out a CD and getting the same result it was obvious that this was not 'just the fan' as she'd been told by her colleague. After asking a second colleague it turns out the box was faulty and it wasn't the fan after all. Quite a surreal experience all-in.... A bit like Fawlty Towers but in a hifi shop. lovely girl though!
Yeah, I got served by the same girl. She did the demo and to be honest didn't have a clue about any of the kit. I wouldn't have minded seeing as it was mid-day on a Saturday and they were rushed off there feet but I was a bit miffed when I saw the manager working the till
