The Great British Sound Off : An Extra Slice

We’re bringing two very different but equally compelling systems together for a proper in-store listening event. Whether you’re drawn to full-width flagship engineering or beautifully executed compact design, this is a chance to hear what modern British hi-fi thinking can really deliver. Across the day we’ll be running structured demonstrations and informal listening sessions, with carefully matched loudspeakers and plenty of time for questions. If you’re considering an upgrade — or simply enjoy hearing well-matched systems performing at their best — this is a relaxed, no-pressure opportunity to sit down and properly listen.

Audiolab 9000 range

Join us for an in-store demonstration of the outstanding Audiolab 9000 Series, built around the exceptional Audiolab 9000A quite simply the finest integrated amplifier Audiolab has ever produced. Forty years on from the original 8000A, the 9000A represents the brand at its most refined: powerful, composed and beautifully transparent, yet still musically engaging and effortless to live with.

Partnered with the dedicated Audiolab 9000CDT, CD playback is handled with remarkable precision. Its high-end transport mechanism and read-ahead buffer technology ensure superb stability and the ability to extract maximum performance from even well-loved discs.

Audiolab and Mission Event

Completing the system, the Audiolab 9000N delivers high-resolution streaming with impressive stability over both wired and wireless connections. Developed over three years, it’s a serious digital source designed to match the authority and finesse of the 9000A.

We’ll be partnering the electronics with carefully matched loudspeakers to showcase just how capable this range truly is. If you’re considering a genuine step-up system — or simply want to hear what Audiolab’s flagship series can really do — this is an event worth attending.

Audiolab and Mission Event

Mission 778 range

Alongside Audiolab, we’ll also be showcasing the superbly compact and characterful Mission 778 Series — a modern take on a much-loved classic. At the heart of the system is the Mission 778X, inspired by the original 778 concept: simple to use, generously specified and far more capable than its size suggests.

Delivering a genuine 65 watts into 4 ohms, the 778X combines large tactile controls and ‘80s-inspired styling with thoroughly modern engineering. With MM phono stage, Bluetooth aptX, USB, multiple digital inputs and pre-out connectivity, it’s equally at home in a vinyl-focused system or as the centre of a compact streaming setup.

Audiolab and Mission Event

We’ll also be demonstrating the dedicated Mission 778CDT, featuring a precision optical mechanism, CD text display and wide file compatibility, and the new Mission 778S — Mission’s first standalone wireless streamer. Designed to partner the 778X perfectly, it offers intuitive app control and high-quality digital playback in the same elegant half-width chassis.

Partnered with carefully matched loudspeakers, this system proves that serious hi-fi performance doesn’t require full-width boxes or a rack full of separates. If you appreciate proper engineering with a touch of retro charm, this is well worth a listen.

Audiolab and Mission Event

We’ll have refreshments available throughout the event, along with exclusive on-the-day offers, giving you the ideal chance to experience this superb system and consider your next hi-fi upgrade. Whether you’re a seasoned audiophile or simply enjoy great music played properly, this special event is set to be a listening session to remember.
