The Original House of Hi-Fi
brianandtrevors in Greater Manchester is your audio centre of excellence for reference demonstrations, sales, installation, service, upgrades, advice and aftercare.
Better than any hi-fi shop, we are an audio consultancy. Our music demonstration rooms are inside a house, in real living rooms and real living spaces, so you can discover how we make music sound real in your home.
Just Listen
We always remember our first experiences as hi-fi enthusiasts and as customers, comparing different brands of audio systems before discovering the thrill of hearing favourite recordings through great hi-fi.
Recorded music became alive, realistic, truly involving and moving. That memory still shapes the way we demonstrate systems, explain differences and help clients choose with confidence.
Our passion for music goes way back. Brian studied violin and guitar, Trevor played drums, and Brian’s sons grew up with Linn music systems in the family home.
Today, that same love of music sits behind everything we do, from first conversation to personal demonstration, installation and aftercare.
Real Home Demonstrations
brianandtrevors is situated in a large, comfortable Victorian home with systems installed without compromise for personalised demonstrations in the four principal living rooms.
Unlike conventional shop dem rooms, our systems are installed in real rooms and real living spaces. This gives you a much clearer idea of how a carefully chosen music system can perform in your own home.
From music in one room to whole-home audio, the listening experience at brianandtrevors is relaxed, personal and often so involving that demonstrations can last for hours.
What We Do
We offer individual, personalised demonstrations so you can hear a range of performance options and decide for yourself.
We help you improve your system with straightforward, professional expertise across analogue, digital, stereo and home cinema.
We install and register your purchase to ensure the ultimate and continued performance of any component or system.
Systems & Solutions
We specialise in best demonstration, sales and best-practice installation of analogue and digital components, stereo music systems, multi-channel music systems, home cinema systems and networked multi-room music systems.
We offer a range of components and systems specifically chosen for top performance with music. Our role is to help you, your partners, family and friends feel more at home with simply better sound for music and movies.
Our relaxing home environment is ideal for meeting, discussing your requirements and listening properly. We are a pressure-free zone, giving you time to compare, understand and enjoy the differences that matter.
Our History
Trevor joined Linn Products in 1989 after working in audio retailing, selling Linn and other quality brands.
Brian joined Linn Products in 1990, working across marketing, PR, press relations and product presentation.
House of Linn was established as an appointment-only consultancy specialising exclusively in Linn systems and upgrades.
brianandtrevors was created to offer a broader range of carefully chosen components and music system solutions.
Together, Brian and Trevor combine decades of specialist audio experience, system setup and customer support.
Since beginning the consultancy journey, it has been our pleasure to welcome clients from both the UK and overseas.
Linn Heritage
Working for Linn Products appealed to us as hi-fi enthusiasts because it involved every aspect of product understanding, demonstration and system installation.
The knowledge and experience gained at Linn prepared us for the two audio consultancies we now own and run: House of Linn and brianandtrevors.
Brian & Trevor
Brian studied violin and guitar before working in marketing, advertising and research. At Linn, his work included PR, marketing, press relations, product reviews, audio shows and system installations.
Trevor worked in audio retailing before joining Linn. His role included retailer support, LP12 setup training, product launches, dealer development and system demonstrations in the UK and overseas.
Source First
Our passion for Linn began as customers and became lengthy careers as Linn employees. We took that passion, product expertise and obsession for accurate setup into our own consultancies.
We understand and practise Source First for building and upgrading Linn systems, and we know the Linn source and electronics hierarchy for improving performance.
Our business model is to look after clients from first conversations, dedicated personal appointments and home demonstrations through to installation and aftercare.
Appointments Only
We see clients by appointment, one client at a time, so every visit is focused, relaxed and tailored to your system goals.
Personal service. Appointments only. Monday to Saturday, 10AM - 8PM, with the last appointment at 6PM. Sundays by prior arrangement.
