Book a Demo SessionTry It Before You Decide
This page is the live list of what’s in our Shrewsbury showroom: most of it connected and running, the rest out on display to handle and compare. Filter by category below, then come and try the things that interest you.
Photographs can’t tell you how a Control4 keypad feels under your finger, how properly installed speakers really sound, how easy a smart home system is to live with day to day, or what a calibrated cinema is like from the middle seat. That’s what a demonstration showroom is for: everything here is installed as it would be in your home, so you can see, hear and handle the quality before you commit to anything.
This list isn’t exhaustive either. It changes as ranges evolve, and if you’d like to experience something that isn’t shown, just ask: we can often order additional equipment in to demonstrate. A demonstration works both ways, too: we get to know you and how you’ll use the system, which makes whatever we design for you afterwards a better fit. Book a demo session and we’ll have everything ready when you arrive, or read about the showroom first. And if two-channel listening is your thing, our sister hi-fi shop SMC Hi-Fi keeps its own what’s-on-demonstration list in the same building.
Not everything we supply is permanently on demonstration. Demonstration systems change as new products arrive and different combinations are prepared, so the categories below are a snapshot rather than a fixed list. If there’s a specific product or comparison you want to hear, mention it when you book.
