Strawberry's Neil Young, with head honcho's Phil Ward and Mike Pearce

South Island hi-fi chain Strawberry Sound opened their first North Island Store in December. Located at 23 Williamson Avenue, Grey Lynn, the store enters the Auckland market at a time of great volatility, with the demise of Eastern Hi-Fi.

The new store is fronted by two long-term hi-fi industry members. Neil Young is one of Auckland’s best-known hi-fi retailers, coming from five years at Eastern Hi-Fi’s Newmarket store. Brendon Davies-Patrick previously worked for Christchurch’s The Top Hi-Fi Shop over the previous five years.

It’s a “nice showroom, not a dark cave!” says Neil Young. Williamson Avenue is both in a central location but far enough away from city madness. Parking is available behind the shop.

Brands include Denon, Niles, Plinius, Sugden, Yarland, Stello, JM Reynaud, Tannoy, Living Voice, PSB, Sonus Faber, ProJect, Tangent, Soul to Sole, Tara Labs, Kondo, Eichmann, DNM, Bello, Norstone, Bose multimedia, Loewe, Sennheiser and AKG.
