Richer Sounds

mcaul · 2008-06-06 09:22:14

Just noticed richer sounds in Belfast are heavily selling into the south at their sterling prices. Delivery charges of £10 - £50 apply, but their prices for TV's / HiFi seem to be extremely good. Phillips 42" LCD £549, Sony Bravi 32" £449 etc etc. www.richersounds.ie Always were a decent crowd to deal with when they had a…

Got a lesson or 2 in TV jargon yesterday:D but is Dolby Digital Sound Better than Surround Sound??

Bit of a dillema Plasma cheaper with surround sound, LCD more expensive with Dolby Digital - I thought Plasma were unaffordable?? (for the likes of me anyway!!):p

Thanks for advising..........

I know, I know...........pay more you get better........but I'm a single mum to 2 kids, not easy financially...........The second one would take me a year to pay back on top of all other bills..............

Hiya

The second option, i.e. full 1080p HD is €1,208.95 online at Powercity.ie with the non HD model retailing at €743.95 (this is €700 on Richersounds.ie website). Big difference there so it depends on whether you have better uses for the additional €500 that it would cost you to get the full hd model.

You can also get a 47 in lcd through Richersounds for €1,049.99 which while its not full hd is a big tv for the money.

You could also check komplett.ie who have several options (Sony & Samsung) for between €950 - €1,100 for 40in full hd lcd tvs.

Personally I would not pay an additional 500 for full HD - 720p is fine!
Although shop around for any bargains on full-hd
47 might be too big depending on the size of your living room, but you would need a big living room for that tv to look right
Just my opinion!

My sitting room (as the wife calls it - to me its my cinema room ) is 26ft x 16ft and I've just ordered a 46in Samsung 1080p LCD. Now I'm wondering if its big enough. I guess it always comes down to size....;):p:D:D:D

Prosperous Dave,

26ftx16ft ? Lucky boy............. Full HD projector and 8ft screen FTW ! It'll also resolve your room-naming dilemma.

Just wanted to say what a great experience we had with this store.

We traveled from Dublin to collect a Sony Bravia, but following a mix up it later turned out that that tv was on hold for a different customer.

Jayson (manager), couldn't have been more apologetic, bought us both lunch and gave us a great discount on a 42" LG 1080p HD TV.

Once again would highly recommend this store to anyone.

Rugby fan - Thanks a milion for your kind words and apologies for the screw up with the Sony - however please be happy in the kowledge that the deal Jay cut you on the LG completely cleaned out any potential profit we made for the whole day!!!!! :rolleyes:

Glad you had a good time and as ever drop me a line if I can be of any assistance,

Thanks again,

Boardies,

Just a quick note - if any of you guys are travelling to Belfast this weekend to see Ireland's finest Hi-fi/TV store (Ok I am gilding the lily just a touch - the place is a shambles completely full of kit!) ....

PLEASE DON'T!!!!! PLEASE DON'T!!!!!PLEASE DON'T!!!!!

As we are closing from tonight (Thursday) reopening next Wednesday for a full shopfit.

Now for any of you guys who have ever visited a Richer Sounds Store before you will be shocked at the thought of a Richer Sounds having a shopfit as we are famous for always spending less than a tenner on our stores* - but Belfast is now 13 years old and very tired and needs a clean-up. (but don't expect carpets and soft lighting!!)

We will be on the phones and on-line over the whole weekend if anyone needs advice or has a pressing desire to spend money and as usual our mail order/online dept/ will be despatching kit every day...

As ever drop me a line if I can assist and normality (Richer MAD normality) should resume next WEDNESDAY!

Thanks as ever,

John Mc
* a tenner in either Euro or Sterling - whatever's worth less at the time....

John, I hope you guys are doing a refit of your Website at the same time. Its looking a little dated.

If you guys payed a tenner for it you were ripped off

Fishfoodie, w epaid for the website so long ago that we cannot have even paid a tenner for it -

I agree its awful - we have a new really sexy one ready to go since about last August but its just a matter of getting it stuffed and finding the time is a disaster at the moment - this September is now our revised launch date and apologies in the meantime for the shocking state of our current site - no defence!

You can always use the .com one and we will always sort Boardies out with those deals - but we are working on a dedicated .ie site and as abobe we hope to get it up in the next 2 months (ish..):o

Thanks as ever and if I can help in any way just drop me a line,

Thanks,

John McDonald

The Philips 32" LCD's are back up on the site for £299 (389 euros) - thats an outstanding deal for a brand name 32" LCD. I had mine hooked up to the laptop yesterday via hdmi and it was stunning as a monitor.

If it was allowed I'd like to post some coupons for boards users for discounts on my site, I wonder what the mods would think of this?

Hi Tony,
I saw your post offering boards.ie coupons. I used the link provided last night to look at your website.
And I was talking to you on the phone. I was just wondering has the coupon now run out of date or will you honour the link.
