Good evening AVF
Yorkshire AV are an independent HiFi and Home Cinema store based in a quiet village in North Yorkshire.
Our retail operation is now 18 months old (we started literally weeks before the pandemic was announced.... the joys!) and our showroom officially opened in December last year, with our first visitor arriving once lockdown had come to an end.
A husband, wife and enthusiastic/qualified friends (our average age is 32!) run our business day to day - we're only a small team but we're passionate, knowledgeable and bring something a little different to HiFi and AV.
Our showroom / demo rooms are based in a cool 350 year old barn based on a farming industrial estate. We're surrounded by a luxury car dealer, tractors and beautiful Yorkshire fields.
We currently have somewhere in the region of 30+ quality brands that we are retailers/installers of but this list is slowly growing as we plough every bit of profit back into new products, stock and establishing ourselves better in the area. Coming to AVF was a big commitment for us (financially) but we're delighted to be here and looking forward to showcasing some of our solutions for our customers, our rack builds (i.e. what are we playing with this week), passing on product knowledge, advice and sales support if required.
We do offer installation (it's our background) including custom install (we are an ELAN agent, Monitor Audio, Lithe Audio, DALI etc) but often undertake design work (product, placement, configuration) on behalf of customers that need that extra bit of support.
We rarely get people just walking in given our location - most appointments we make last 2-3 hours where we go through soup-to-nuts the setups and options and spend a lot of time analysing the difference components make in systems. I like to feel like we bring some education (in a friendly way), a lot of hands on time and confidence to our customers.
Our cinema showroom currently features a DALI Phantom 16 channel cinema room, complete with SONY native 4K projection, 130" screen and an ELAN control system. It's powered by an Emotiva XMC-2 and an XPA-11 Gen3 and soon a new model DR3.
In this room we have a number of subs to try out from SVS (SB1000Pro, SB3000, SB3000 Micro, SB4000m PB2000), REL (T/x range, S/510, S/812, Carbon Special, HT/1508), Monitor Audio Silver W10 and Gold W12. Each sub setup has it's own DIRAC configuration so we can demonstrate the best it can be.
Our 2 channel demo space currently has a HiFi Racks LTD (we LOVE their stuff) podium reference rack that's forever changing. Currently it's got a HiFi Rose RS150b, Primare I35 and CD35 Prisma in there running with ELAC VELA floor standers but given we have approx 30 pairs of speakers out on display, this can quickly be modified to suit!
We're just in the process of building another room within the space, to be a multi-functional area. Namely it's going hopefully be a JBL Synthesis room, AT materials, light rejection and perhaps UST (with a drop down 120" screen) and then a 2 channel space for the rest of the time.
We are stockists of (and in brackets - what's out and available to demo) of the below as our main products.
We do stock items such as the HiFi Racks Podium Reference racks (Oak and Walnut - 4 tiers with isolation plinths, headphone stands and turntable wall mounts etc) as the lead time for those products is long at the moment (8-10 weeks). Again - everything is out on display - we actively encourage coming and having a play so that you're comfortable with what you're buying and validate/challenge reviews that you've read etc
We do have bundle packages but like most hifi stores, if there's a bundle you want, just let us know and we'll work you out a package price.
We use DPD for deliveries across the UK but often send out staff in the van to deliver and help setup if required.
We'll update this thread with offers, discount codes (new users to our site get a 5% discount once signing up to our monthly newsletter), bundles, supplier offers, deals etc etc but please do DM us with queries and we'll happily come back to you.

Until next time - stay safe and look forward to speaking with you soon!
