Thanks, please keep us posted
. Epson too if possible, if they have any new models knocking about for release.
Epsom are harder, but i think still possible.
New Prices INCOMMING, and most of them are not pretty.
Unfortunately (but not un-expectedly) most manufacturers are having to increase pricing and those price increases are starting to filter through to us, either with a 4th Quarter or Q1 2022 date.
None of us are really surprised if we are honest with ourselves, with stories of 500% increases in container shipping to components in the IT World going from $0.70 each to $5 oh and you cant have your usual 3000, you can have 300!
In one case, I have heard of a speaker manufacturer moving product lines from the Far East to Canada, production is more expensive but shipping costs fall through the floor.
It had to happen, I was in distribution and importing this sort of stuff 20 years ago and I said it then, as the Far East become more worldly, understand their value in manufacturing, they demand a better standard of living and production costs go up. Then whilst manufacturing costs may still be relatively low, by the time you have added in the whole cost to get it to America or Europe the product becomes to expensive.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but someone had to do it and it is effecting us all.

It is what it is isnt it. Hopefully it wont affect you too much business wise..i think uk sourced equipment may become the norm soon
The challenge with be finding truly UK manufactured kit and even then the component and shipping costs with still have an effect.
People with still want kit, it will be a little more considered and thought through and there will certainly be some short-term winners who have volume stock in Europe already (cough-monoprice)
But it will even out, become the norm and we will settle in to the new normal again.

WELL, THEY ARE IN EUROPE - And we will have them by the end of the Jan.
What are 'They'? - 'They' are the amazing Monolith by Monoprice Encore 6 Series Speakers! Designed by a serious big hitter in terms of speaker design
AVS in the US, said 'What they are through is better than most speakers in their category and a good deal of the speakers priced just above them'
Joe'n'Tell and a few other reviewers have had them as well and seem to be a little in love with them as well. We can not wait to get a 5.0 speaker pack in to AVF for a review as well. Google them for YT reviews.
Price-wise - Actually far better than expected!! Which is a very very pleasant surprise in the current climate
Encore Bookshelf B6 - £179.99
Encore Centre C6 - £229.99
Encore Tower T6 - £379.99
5.0 Bookshelf Package (4 x B6 & 1 x C6) - Use 'EncoreB' to pay £889.95 (Save £60.00)
5.0 Tower Package (2 x T6, 2 x B6 & 1 x C6) - Use 'EncoreT' to pay £1249.95 (Save £100.00)
That is a cracking price!

Ladys and Gentlemen.................
Please welcome two great manufacturers back to our shores.
AC-Infinity - Small initial stock holding has arrived, with more on a boat and we will be expanding the range slowly. Let us know if there is anything specific you would like.
OSD Black - AVS Love these 8" Angled, In-Ceiling speakers, making them ideal for both Atmos and a discrete 5.0 systems, we also have the 6.5" flavour for smaller rooms. Arriving later this month will be the standard R83, R63 In-Ceilings, some unique Bluetooth In-Garden systems and the rather nice looking Square Trims if you need them to match any square light fittings.
Message me here for packages and combos.

Monolith 13" THX Subs now available and the 16"ers are due into Europe late May.
The Dual Subs are not officially coming to Europe, but I have the chance to order from my contact at Monoprice USA and ship in for customers here.
I need to work on pricing, but any interest here?

I'd be curious to know ballpark figures on the Duals. The M-212 & M-210 especially.
On it, for you and others
Agreed….i see they are on sale..what about the 215….

Ideally, I'd be after a pair and I suspect a couple of those would be over my budget.
Whack a couple of these under sofas on….Monoprice SSW-12 12in 150-Watt Powered Slim Subwoofer - Monoprice.com
Unfortunately the Dollar has really strengthened over the last month and it is making the Duals look sillily expencive at the moment.
Even is we were where back around 1.3 $/£ the weight of them means we can only get 2 or 3 on a pallet. Which hoofs the price up again.
I have final figures and i'll drop them here later.

Don't give me any ideas mate!
...The appeal of this particular idea: I could sneak a couple of these in without my OH even noticing!....
At least until I play Edge Of Tomorrow!
