Re: The state of the UK Hi-Fi Industry...and what might be done

Regarding NVA marketing would it be pertinent to emphasise one of the benefits of low volume, low stock level, products is the price is not inflated to subsidise old stock models being sold off at highly discounted prices in the future. Nobody appreciates finding the product they bought last month i...

Re: NVA Blog

I didn't expect a response that quick - thanks.

Re: NVA Blog

I'm guessing this is the right place to glean some information on the suitability of Cubes/cubettes for my room After having my NVA starter system for nearly a year I've got the itch to try NVA speakers. I understand, however, that they are somewhat room dependent for success. My listening room is a...
