Optoma Photon Pk52 Projector

I purchased a Optoma Photon Pk52 Projector after a great discussion with Richard Pells, the sales advisor. Great service and advice. Would highly recommend.

The shop service was excellent

The shop service was excellent, I did have a problem with the delivery, they left it by my front door but didn't ring the bell or knock the door, I only found it after an email saying it had been delivered.

All good

All good. Seb at the Leicester shop really helpful in helping me sort out a new turntable as the Denon had an audible buzz when playing through the speakers.

After researching amplifiers and speakers, I turned to Richer Sounds for a sound test of my top selections. Levi was exceptionally helpful, making my listening experience truly enjoyable. I encourage you to check them out; their prices are among the best, and you'll have the chance to listen before making a purchase. It's a decision you won't regret!

Made many Hi Fi purchases from this company since 1990s, always good value and the 6 year warranty is a must.
My latest buy was the Ben Q MacBook monitor, what a good screen it is, easy to set up and works a dream.

Why I've been a customer for 35 years!

I recently upgraded my speakers and amplifier to an Onkyo and Martin Logan package following advice from Paul at Richer Sounds Leicester. He took the time to listen to my requirements, devising the best solution for my budget, and was extremely patient when I encountered connection issues. All sorted now though - Paul delivered the expected RS mix of experience and passion for audio in spades!

Excellent service

After researching different tv’s, Richer sounds was recommended by friends. I was served by Paul, who was patient and talked through everything. All the staff have been great when I have had further questions. Excellent service, friendly and sincere.

New turntable and more.

Called into Leicester branch, as my elderly turntable gave up.All staff exceptional, going above and beyond, without pressure to sell me something that was above my capabilities or budget. Found me the items I wanted, expecting in a week, all but one came in less 24hrs. The item that was difficult to put time frame, not before mid August expecting, came today, that's less than a week, from ordering to delivery. Well done, Seb and Paul.

I'm a big fan of Richer Sounds and like their business philosophy and support of their work colleagues. I also like staffs' welcoming demeanour and service. Recently I went to the Leicester branch for some speaker cable and was served by Paul. He was very obliging and gave me the 24 metres of quality cable as requested for a reasonable price. I have now cut the cable in half to create two cables, fitted connectors to each end and the cables now form an important part of my Bang & Olufsen 5000 system that I recently acquired for my special Birthday present. Just a small point though, having got home and measured the speaker cable length it was roughly 1 metre short and only 23 metres long. It's not an issue as I had allowed extra but I had also paid for 24 metres and was sold short 😢. Anyway, the B&O system sounds great through the Redline 60s that I have owned for about 30 years and recently refurbished the auxiliary bass reflex panels. So if anyone is looking for a reliable aftermarket method of rebuilding a pair of RL60 ABRs please get in touch. BH

Thank you for the feedback and the kind words about the business and the team at the branch. We're really sorry for the oversight with the cable however and will of course ask the store to make sure they are more careful going forward.

Kind regards
