John Lewis Arcam & B&W kit

Don't know if this is Bristol Only or across the UK

JL are stopping selling separates so all Arcam & B&W gear they have is heavily discounted - e.g A85+ £500, CD72T £300, 601 S3 £180.Quite a lot of stuff in Bristol so if you're looking for any of this it may be worth a phone call

What I saw was

Arcam Diva
Tuner
A65+ amp
A85+ Amp
CD72T (which I bought 'cos it was a real bargain)

B&W
303
601
602
603

Denon
Tuners & CD players c£100 down from £180

Onkyo, Marantz Av amps 1/3ish off

I'm sure there's more but I was too excirted by the CD72T to not really pay that much attention

I doubt that JL were FMJ approved dealers so the chance of cheap P7 / AV8 / DV27 is slim to none ...

But 33% off the DIVA range would still make some very nice kit, esp with B&W speakers ... my old Alpha 10/600 series was soooo sweet :-)

Bristol still had stuff (inc speakers) left on Sunday - it's all approx 1/3 off list. You can always give them a call & ask if they'll ship it to you (I did that with an x display table from the Reading store)

Thanks for the heads up Wilbur.

Got a CD72T (£299) and a pair of Ex-display 602 S3' (£175) from JL Kingston. They didn't have much left though. Display CD72, T61 was all that I saw.

BARGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
