Since I retired 10 years ago much of equipment has been purchased second hand from the Internet. However when we bought a replacement CDP for our second system we purchased a new Rega Apollo-R from Jon at MAX (delighted with it). When visiting Jon we heard a pair of Chario bookshelf speakers which were ex dem at much less than half the RRP of 2000 euro. We were blown away by them. We took measurements and although significantly bigger than our Dali bookshelf speakers in the kitchen they would fit. It is a very difficult audio environment and speaker siting situation, but Jon said we were welcome to try them. They work brilliantly and have happily purchased them. We would not own them without Jon's intervention. It reminded me that a good dealer can still provide a great, good value service.
