Been a Richer Sounds customer since…
Been a Richer Sounds customer since 90’s.Always got great service,low prices and good customer care.Only down side to this visit is the lack of parking at Bournemouth Branch,but suppose it is what it is.
Great staff
From my first email to my visit to the Bournemouth branch the staff were helpful, knowledgeable and advised me to buy cheaper speakers than the ones I enquired about. He felt that the Fyne 300i would suit my Stereo and my musical tastes better than the Wharfedale 12.1i that I first emailed about. The £50 difference had nothing to do with the decision, he just said that I would be happy with the Fyne. And I am, and £50 better off, means I could buy 2 more LPs. The speakers that came with my Denon are a total load of rubbish compared to the Fyne 300i. I did wonder about the Fyne 301i,but again, Jamie felt I won't need them until I upgrade the system. Great guys in the Bournemouth shop. Thank you fellas.

Knowledgeable & Really Helpful Personal Service
Personal help and thought through advice / discussion of factors surrounding my proposed purchase from Aaron. Very helpful and not at all pushy.
He knew much more than sales people at John Lewis where I had started my search.
Also RS were able to get both Denon unit and Warfedale speakers within 24 hrs - brilliant

Richer Sounds are the best!
Have always used Richer Sounds for major purchases. Spent 2hours with Dan at Bournemouth RS and he was excellent. Willing to go through my likely shopping list in detail, all the possibles, all the might be’s, all the suggestions, alternatives, pretty much everything. Made spending and saving money very easy and never pushing to buy something more expensive - unlike other stores I could mention. Ended up with all items delivered very quickly by a decent courier who knew care had to be taken. As always, RS are the absolute best in the field, why anybody goes to other ‘chain’ suppliers is beyond me. Why?

Staff in store and on phone really personable and helpful. Products excellent as always.
Just be aware that if collecting in Boscombe, parking is a real challenge. Delivery is probably a better option.

Trusted them.
Trusted the advice. They didn't try to sell you whatever would make them a profit. They sold you what you wanted.
