Top Quality Audio Solutions in New Zealand

I bought my first set of components from Graham at the Hifi Source back in Whakatane when I was 19 years old – 31 years ago. Thinking about it now I realise that I have bought most of my gear from Graham. Time flies and much has changed but one thing is still the same, Graham sells great products and always gives solid advice and I have come to trust his opinion. No matter your budget you will leave the store with something that is going to enhance your music and your life. My most recent purchase was for some bookshelf speakers for my shed and I am really enjoying my Monitor Audio Bronze speakers. Cheers mate!

Hi, just want to say was a pleasure in dealing with you guys, got a mean set up with my new massive Polk rtai7,s, monitor fx surrounds and monitor 8" ceiling speakers. My Dolby atoms set up will be awesome. Can't wait to hook it all up. Great service and advice, and fitted my budget perfectly. I'll be back to upgrade my front speaker and subs in the near future.

I never thought my next piece of HT kit would come out of Whakatane, but a great deal knows no boundaries. Cheers.

Hi Graham,

The T/9x is mostly broken in now.  100% happy with the upgrade.

It's interesting how the sub "opens up" as it breaks in.  After going from the T/7x and ending it while broken in, it was a stark contrast when first turning on the new T/9x.

It goes from not timing particularly well with the main speakers, sounding a bit stifled with not the extension you're expecting to blending and matching the main speakers seamlessly with awesomely controlled extension.

Very impressed how musical it is - you really can't "hear" it being separate from the mains.

It's one of those products that actually lives up to the marketing and all the reviews I've seen online.  It's often the same story with the reviews, been into HI-FI for decades, tried subs on and off and always ended up going without because they never matched the main speakers until they tried the Rel T series.

Thanks for the fantastic service - it's been a great experience.

Cheers,

Chris

REL T9X Sub bass system

Hi Graham, Just letting you know I found the sound from the little amp was AWESOME. It turned up on my doorstep at 7.30 the next morning, and I had it going by about 7.32!!! Tighter bass and much more detailed high end than both the Denon and Onkyo amps I had used. It was a real pleasure to talk to you on the phone and get some good honest advice. (and a good chat too.) Can you let me know if you have any second hand, or reasonably cheap tuners, as I will never use Trade Me again after the great deal and service from you, so will have to bug you when I need something.

Hi from Mounty County.. The staff and service from Eastern hifi are second to none. A cannot rate these people high enough... I recently purchased a Yamaha cd player from Eastern hifi. I had been looking for months in Australia. But have had no luck I emailed Eastern hifi, they responded that same day. We corresponded with each other for two days. Which included they sale of my item. Within a week of my first email. I was at home annoying my son with all of my 90's hip hop. I can't thank the team at Eastern hifi enough..

Hi Graham, She's a big unit! The difference between the systems is like winter and summer. The clarity and pureness of the music .. yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, just makes you grin. Even on low low volume it doesn't lose any definition. I'm hanging for the weekend so I can see what it's capable of on high volume. The CD, amp combo bring out the full potential of my speakers, they dance. .. and I haven't even connected the slinky links yet. I have to make a rack because the Slinkylinks won't reach …

Man I’m pleased I bought that Sangean receiver. I’ve had it for two weeks and it lifts my spirits just looking at it. It is beautiful. The reception, clarity and volume are perfect. Mind you for a $190, 22cm by 14cm AM/FM receiver (only) with a 7cm speaker I expected some degree of satisfaction.

The quality of the case, the generosity of the features such as the two alarm choices, five preset station options, the perfectly delineated clock section within the rectangular digital display, have bought and brought me affection. I’ve had the company of a bedside radio since I was six, 68 years ago. I’ve had a Sangean Digitor, made for Dick Smith I believe, for at least 14 years as a bedside radio that turns on every morning at 6.59. (display light still works).

The PR-D4 replaces a $50 Panasonic with a 10cm speaker that did an excellent job for the bathroom, gardening, or holidaying but being analogue needed considered tuning. I would like those hand wringers who say we have become dupes of consumerism to have a PR-D4 beside their beds for two weeks then have the other for two weeks.

Good Morning Graham Thank you for your help last week with my decision to upgrade my home theatre amp, along with the price and the new sub after my one decided to give up and die. My wife and I are really impressed with the features and the sound the new system puts out from streaming Spotify to watching basic TV, Netflix or a Blu Ray, the bass from the sub is a lot better than my previous one.
