From our workshop on the edge of the Lake District, we breathe new life into vintage audio alongside crafting our own custom-engineered flagship loudspeakers.
See our restoration projectsWe are a father-and-son operation deeply focused on sourcing, repairing, and reconditioning classic HiFi speakers. With a combined 40 years of experience in the IT industry, Ben and Paul bring extensive circuit knowledge, technical diagnostic skills, and years of sonic refinement to every build and restoration.
To us, this isn't just technical labor—it's an act of musical resurrection. We turn over projects constantly, offering them exclusively through our eBay store to find them a new home.
From complex crossover recapping to delicate woofer refoaming, every component is rigorously serviced.
No guessing. Backed by decades of IT circuit expertise, rigorous bench testing and critical listening ensure every unit strictly produces exceptional sound.
We channel our completed projects into an active, trusted eBay hub for audio hobbyists across the UK.
Our own custom-designed speaker builds inherit the best lessons learned from generations of HiFi design.
"Bought some vintage bookshelf speakers and they have been incredibly well refurbished. You can tell that the seller has a lot of passion for what they do. The seller also answered questions about setup when I was having a couple of problems - they helped me troubleshoot and were really knowledgeable and responded extremely quickly. Very happy with my purchase - they arrived within a few days and were packaged really well. Would recommend this seller if you're looking to buy audio equipment."
