Can anyone tell me if Westwood & Mason are still in business?
Back in October 1994, I wound up in Oxford with wife and younger daughter in tow. After what had been a solid week of visiting museums and art galleries I had reached saturation point with all the culture and, after giving wife a map of Oxford, I went my separate way in search of audio dealers in Oxford.
Ducking down one side street, I encountered Westwood & Mason and popped in for a chat after spotting a pair of Tannoy D700s in their demo area.
The upshot of the chat was that W&M were in something of a bind and needed to flog the D700s to pacify their bank manager and I wound up paying their cost plus shipping to facilitate the emigration of two D700s to South Africa in January of 1995.
Now, 16 years later, the D700s still occupy pride of place in the listening room and I regularly remember with great fondness that wee shop on a side street in Oxford and a very pleasant gentleman who made me an offer I couldn't understand.
I would really like to renew contact - if only to say thanks again.
