Outstanding Service and Great Prices at Expressive Audio

I had an absolutely excellent experience with Expressive Audio! I found their website while searching for an Emotiva XPA amplifier, which they offered at an unbeatable price—about 15% cheaper than anywhere else. This led me to purchase a couple more items, and I couldn’t be happier. Expressive Audio has that wonderful small, independent business vibe, with incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff who take the time to speak directly with every client. Their customer service is truly top-notch, and it’s clear they’re passionate about the audio equipment they sell. Highly recommend this gem of a company for anyone looking for quality audio gear and exceptional service!

Top Marks for Top Service

John Nelson, who manages the operation from Moorby, is my first choice for hifi and for good reason.

In my experience John has the customer at the heart of his operation - there is no hard sell, just good honest advice and that is what keeps me coming back (as well as some excellent products). This time, the shopping was for a pair of speakers to replace my venerable Castle Harlechs which have been with me for a long, long time.

John arranged a demo of some ATC SCM 40s and a pair of Harbeth stand mounted speakers, leaving both with me for some considerable time. In the end, the ATCs won out and I complimented them with Gaia III isolation feet and a Chord Shawline mains cable into the Cyrus Pre XR.

The sound is superb and the service was exemplary. It’s just a shame that it is too hot to sit inside and listen to my music!

Will I be back to John? Absolutely

Absolutely fabulous service

Absolutely fabulous service, John constantly goes way above and beyond the call of duty, and nothing is ever too much trouble, I personally think Expressive Audio should be your first and only choice for your HiFi needs, thanks John.

A highly personal experience

A highly personal experience.

Expressive Audio is an excellent example of a small business that gives a bespoke and personal experience. John cares a lot about his customers and music, which is a perfect combination for an audio shop.

Highly recommended.

Long Distance Customer

I am located in the United States and John was willing to ship my product to me, great communication and if I lived in the UK I would do more business with them. Thank you again for going above and beyond.

John was fantastic at guiding me…

John was fantastic at guiding me through putting together the right hifi setup for my space. Everything arrived well packaged and as expected, and he was happy to guide me through various technical setup issues along the way.

A great Rega turntable and first class service from John Nelson

John Nelson was helpful from the start when we said we were looking for a premium turntable, gave friendly advice without being pushy and provided demonstrations on a couple of possible options.
In the end we chose the Rega Planar 6 with the ND7 cartridge and were very pleased with the end result. Well done John!

Audiolab 9000A

Audiolab 9000A amplifier chosen as an upgrade after several discussions with the helpful and knowledgeable John at Expressive with respect to the options available and the vagaries of our listening room and existing equipment. This is proving a satisfying choice given its suite of required inputs (DAC, MM & Line In) and notable clarity & definition and improved speaker control. Ordering and delivery was timely taking little over a week with John helpfully delivering it to our house and aiding with installation. Expressive Audio have my recommendation as a dealer for anyone located in Eastern England.
