We have used Sound-Affair twice now

We have used Sound-Affair twice now. James gives a first class service he is polite and fair. He gave honest feed back on our B&O’s and a great price. Both systems were over 20 years old in good condition but now unused. James paid by credit transfer and the payment was instant. They will now go to other people and homes and once again be loved as B&O should be. Thank you James for all your help.

Service and quality of products/customers

I can honestly say that it was a pleasure dealing with this company and of course the brilliant James. The quality of the products are excellent and they arrived in superb condition with everything included that I needed to set it up. As for James - he is also brilliant and obviously care for his products and customers equally - nothing was too much. I dealt with them by email and also a phone call and nothing was too much trouble. I would choose them again in a heartbeat.

Very Happy Smooth transaction.

It was time for my Beovision and beolab28 speakers to move on. Sound affair made me a good offer for the lot.
I took into account that it was a simple transaction, that they would drive 12hours to pick it up pack it etc. That they would service it, take good quality photos, take time to display it sell it with a warranty, Pack it and delivery to the new owners and make a fair profit on it. It was a good offer and i was very happy to accept it.
On the day James arrived on time, was very friendly and cheerful. Was happy with the kit and quickly paid the full amount into my bank account.
Very happy, everything went smoothly and will deal with them again.

Very friendly and professional, excellent service.

Had several pre-loved Bang & Olufsen items to sell, all of which were over 20 years old. Received the best offer from Sound-Affair, so arranged to sell to them and deliver the items to them which I did this morning. I would rate my whole experience as 5 star plus. From my first contact with James, till this mornings delivery, everything was done in a very friendly and professional way. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Honestly brilliant

Honestly brilliant - AI suggested this company might be interested in my old B&O cd player that had been under a blanket in my garage for about 5yrs! Finally, we’re doing a big reorg and decided to “rehome” it. I contacted them with they requested photos, the response was quick, clear and positive. James sent me a generous valuation, i accepted - he drove to collect the equipment a few days later and made a bank transfer to me for the agreed amount. Couldn’t have been a smoother or easier process. Highly recommend.

Purchase of Beosound Theatre

I recently purchased a Beosound Theatre from James at Sound-Affair and had an excellent experience. James was outstanding in his communication—he responded to all my emails and questions quickly and thoroughly. He guided me through the process of international shipping and ensured that my equipment arrived promptly and in perfect condition.

The product was exactly as described on their website, and it both looks and sounds fantastic. I am very happy with my purchase. I would definitely work with James again and highly recommend Sound-Affair to anyone considering a B&O purchase.

Purchase of BeoCenter 2300

From the initial contact, I received very professional advice and customer service.
I ordered a BeoCenter 2300 and when it arrived in Perth, Western Australia, I sent the following email to Sound Affair-
'I received the BeoCenter 2300 today and I wanted to thank you for the excellent customer service, the way it was packed and the DIN to RCA connector.
The player is in superb condition.'
I have no hesitation in recommending Sound Affair to anyone wishing to purchase preowned Bang and Olufsen equipment.

Happy ending

I wanted to replace a defunct BeoSound 3000 with a secondhand one which could connect to my B&O speakers. Lots are offered for sale, but I opted to pay a bit more in order to have the 1-year warranty provided by Sound-Affair. This turned out to be a good decision.
The BeoSound that they supplied (actually a 3200 not 3000) malfunctioned - the sliding doors didn't work properly. James advised helpfully over the phone how I might fix this, but without success, so I re-packed the BeoSound, and James arranged for it to be collected from my home and couriered back to their workshop.
After some delay over New Year, the machine was eventually returned to me, and so far it all works perfectly. Everything done under warranty was free of charge.
So although my dealing with Sound-Affair was a bit long-drawn-out, it was very satisfactory in the end. James is friendly, conscientious, patient and knowledgeable, and he gave me some useful technical guidance. Sound-Affair are not cheap but in my experience they are good.

Customer service at it's best

Customer service at it's best. James was very helpful and dealt with an issue in a prompt and professional manner. The 12 month warranty is definitely why I bought from him.
I would recommend S/A to anyone looking for good quality used B&O equipment.

Great advice and service

Really pleased with the service and advice. I have an old B&O Beocentre from 1986 and needed to get a new stylus. I was really worried where and how to get a replacement. I phoned them and their advice was really good and had a new cartridge delivered within 7 days and its fitted and sounds brilliant - really pleased with their service and can thoroughly recommend them.

2x PowerLink mark 2s

Ordered two PowerLink mark 2s for my B&O stereo £20.40 each not too bad as paid more in the past. Was charged £24.99 for postage.
When they arrived I noticed on the postage they paid £6.59 so what happened to the additional money I paid. I have emailed sales email twice since I received them 4th dec and no reply no apology, not even an offer of a refund for being over charged.
I probably wouldn’t buy again from here postage cost more than one lead alone, could understand if if cane wrapped special but didn’t.

Very happy with Sound-Affair

Very happy with Sound-Affair. I contacted them to see if they were interested in buying my 20 y/o B&O Beosound 3200 Hi-Fi. James looked at my photos and offered a fair price. He arranged collection and I was paid in full by bank transfer the next day. Very easy and professionally managed. Highly recommended.

Selling B&O

We contacted Sound-Affair about selling our B&O equipment. I was amazed at how simple and straightforward James made it.
I emailed the details and some photos. James responded within a few hours and we agreed a fair price. He called in person to collect everything and transferred the money there and then. I cannot praise him highly enough and recommend him without any hesitation. Thanks, James!

Outstanding customer service

Outstanding customer service. Such a simple process.
I had some B&O items that I was keen to sell. I contacted Sound Affair and was asked to send through some photos of the items for sale - which I did.
James came back to me extremely promptly, asked for a bit more information, which I sent through, and he offered a price for all the items there and then. The offer was fair and so we arranged for the items to be picked up. James arrived on time, made a bank transfer on the spot and took the items away.

I don't think you could have made the process any simpler or more professional.
I would highly recommend Sound Affair for all your B&O needs.
