Guildford Audio is a specialist high-end hi-fi dealership. We have spent many years helping people build systems they will keep for decades — not by selling boxes, but by listening carefully, demonstrating properly and being honest about what will actually make a difference.
Genuinely independent advice
We are not tied to shifting a particular brand. We carry over forty of the world's finest manufacturers precisely so that the recommendation can follow the room, the music and the budget — rather than the other way around.
Demonstration done properly
Every demonstration is by appointment, so the room is yours and there is no queue behind you. We are also nationwide home demonstration specialists: hearing equipment in your own room, with your own music, tells you far more than any showroom ever can.
Support that outlasts the sale
Systems are installed and set up correctly, and we remain available long afterwards. All new products carry the full manufacturer's warranty, and for used or ex-demonstration items we tell you exactly what warranty remains before you commit.
Expertise you can hear
High-end audio rewards experience. The difference between a system that impresses for a week and one that keeps you listening for years is rarely the headline component — it is system matching, careful setup, sensible cabling and proper attention to power and support. That judgement only comes from decades of doing it, and from actually living with this equipment rather than reading about it.
We deal in turntables, tonearms and cartridges, CD and SACD players, transports and clocks, DACs, streaming and music servers, valve and solid-state amplification, phono stages, headphones, loudspeakers from standmount to full-range, and the cables, supports and mains conditioning that let all of it perform. Alongside new equipment we carry a regularly changing selection of used and ex-demonstration stock, which is often the shrewdest way into a serious system.
The brands we represent
Our portfolio is chosen rather than accumulated. It includes Wilson Audio, Magico, Harbeth, Perlisten, Martin Logan, Franco Serblin and Falcon Acoustics for loudspeakers; dCS, Weiss Engineering, Metronome Technologie, Antipodes and Computer Audio Design for digital; SME, TechDAS, Graham Engineering, Ortofon, DS Audio, Shelter, Sumiko and Audio Origami for vinyl; and Dan D'Agostino, Constellation Audio, darTZeel, Krell, Audio Research, Jadis, BAT, PrimaLuna, Copland, LFD and Lavardin for amplification — supported by Transparent Audio, Crystal Cables, Shunyata Research, Network Acoustics, Artesania Audio, Quadraspire, IsoAcoustics and Stax.
Beyond the showroom
We host an annual audio event bringing together customers, manufacturers and distributors around properly set-up systems, and we are long-standing sponsors of the Festival Chamber Orchestra. Both come from the same place: a genuine interest in music, not just in equipment.
