It seems the final debate as to which type is better is really left up to the buyer, because when you see how well both work on the showroom floor of Toshiba/Lenovo you'll be hard-pressed for a decision. The best deal I found was for a 42" Hitachi at only £450. Other brand names readily available include Sony and Samsung. The rest of the goods comprise a range of high-tech laptops and cameras with all the relevant accessories you might need.

This store although smaller than some of the other Sony stores I have visited, seems to have all…read morethe stuff you could need. I love Sony stuff so I really lap up this shop. There are many TVs in the back to choose from and most of them are the new Bravia type. I had my eye on a 40" which had been reduced by 200 pounds. In fact most of the stuff in this shop was on sale when I visited. They had a really neat ipod mixing deck for 400.00 which was playing the music that you hear when you enter the store. They also sell the Vaio computers which you can try out in the store. All in all, everything Sony!

Seeing as this place sells items of the kitchen and electrical genre the S&A might stand for Stereos and Adapters or maybe Stand and Admire. My roommate and I went into here looking for the strange electrical species called a Scart cable. Heretofore unknown to either of us, we easily managed to find the unusual species which we sought. Long and skinny like a snake, with prickles on either end like a porcupine. We thought buying one to keep our DVD player and TV company because sometimes they get lonely and bark and wake us up. The scart cables ranged between 13 and 18 pounds. I've since seen them for 3-6 pounds. They looked like very nice scarts, but the selection was so overwhelming (about 4) that we decided it best to ask the advice of our flatmates. The store had a myriad of stuff from alarm clocks to ovens, from adapters to kettles, from Gilgamesh memorabilia to talking office chairs with big, soft teeth. It's convenient, but nothing out of the ordinary of a normal store of this genre. The staff let us browse tranquilly and we had our fill and left.

I've used the Ealing branch a few times and always found them knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. You can test-drive equipment to ensure you're getting what you want, plus they are always willing to suggest other options, not necessarily more expensive ones either. Only gripe is shop is quite small so stock held is limited. That said, if an item isn't in stock, ordering always seems to be quick. Probably because of being part of a large chain.

I took it back after a couple of days of purchase and explained the problem and the member of staff told me to leave the phone with him and he would speak to the manager about refunding me and that he would call me when he had done so. Three weeks went by without a call. I called the store and the staff member said he had forgotten all about it but he would speak to the manager later that day and call back tomorrow. No apology. Still no call so I went into the store and the staff member said he had again forgotten to ask the manager but he would do so the next day (again no apology). Still he did not call so I called the store and he had yet again forgotten to ask the manager but he said he was due in within the hour and he would speak to him and call me back. Several hours passed without a call so I called the store and the staff member said that unfortunately the manager would not refund me because there was nothing wrong with the phone and it was not their fault it did not work with fibre optic. After all the money I have spent in that store I would have expected a lot better service. They are nice to you when they want to sell you something but no help at all if anything goes wrong. I will never shop at any B&O again and could certainly not recommend them.

He brought it over, the unit was scratched and had gunk stuck to the bottom of the speaker. I said to him that it is a used item - but TS Mike said it is a service model. Which meant that it had been sitting in their office being used for the last however long. I didn't buy it, but I had wasted 30 minutes travel each way. No apology forthcoming.

Not so here! Now, I must say I've DJed for many years so have a decent understanding of sound equipment and some of the technical aspects and what I like and don't like, but those guys didn't know that. Prepared for the worst, I visited with a friend who worked here many years ago. I was in the market for a new wifi stereo amp and speakers, and the staff was polite without being demeaning, and answered my endless questions. The listening lounge was busy and as I wanted to test out some speakers, they were gracious enough to hook up 2 or 3 different sets for me to hear ....none of which I got in the end as I didn't like them. Nonetheless, I did purchase an awesome Marantz amp. Overall I found the prices to be fair , some things were on the high side but they have regular deals/sales. I'm in the market now for a 'smart' TV and will probably return there to buy it.

In my…read moreexperience the staff are very knowledgable, and quite importantly to me, they have on onsite repair service. I had a speaker (a powered subwoofer, purchased elsewhere) that developed an electronic problem in the amplifier. It was just out of warranty, so I looked around for repair options. After speaking with the staff at Bartlett's, I felt comfortable that they'd address the problem for me, but I was concerned about the price, since the products they sell are quite top of the range. I was pleased to receive a fair price for the repair, and they finished before the estimated time. After bringing it home, it turned out that there was an additional problem not addressed initially, but since the repair was guaranteed, they asked me to bring it back, and all seems to be fine now. (This is a review of the repair service, rather than an experience of purchasing a product there. However, once I can afford it, I would gladly return there for an upgrade in equipment.)
