We have just moved into our all new store at 9, Silver Street in the middle of Yeovil after 24 years in our previous premises.
This Grade 2 Listed building used to be the 'Kings Arms' pub.
Now the only things 'on tap' are great sounds with fantastic home cinema and, of course, multi-room systems.

We have tried to make your experience as pleasant as possible with surroundings more in line with the your own home...i.e. 'real life', not just a shop filled with shelves and shelves of black boxes.
Great equipment demonstrated in realistic surroundings by knowledgeable staff who really care about the end result.....a happy customer!

Mike opened his first shop in Yeovil over 24 years ago, stocking and demonstrating a range of quality hi-fi products not before available outside of the larger towns.

Mike's enthusiasm for music, especially live concerts, led him along the road in search of a realistic and enjoyable sound system for the home. On his quest Mike admits that he made many mistakes, often being seduced by 'flavour of the month' magazine reviews and cosmetic appeal. The pressure of the commission based salesman also took it's toll.

In an endeavour to fulfil his desire, Mike decided to make a career change, leaving the security of a family based business, to work in a reputable hi-fi shop for over twelve years before branching out on his own.

The staff at both of the Mike Manning Audio stores are all music and home cinema enthusiasts, NOT commission based salesmen. Between them they have amassed over 50 years experience of demonstrating, selling and installing 'quality' audio and video equipment. Their customer's have learned to trust their judgement and expertise.

Over the last few years Mike Manning have also become much more involved with 'custom install' of 'multi-room' systems both in domestic as well as commercial environments.

Demonstrations, of both Hi-fi and Home Cinema, are carried out in a relaxed and un-pressured manner, making it a more pleasurable experience choosing your heart's (and Ears) desire.

Mike Manning Audio is an independant company NOT a franchise!
The product range that we demonstrate and sell is carefully chosen
by us for it's performance. not review or commercially led.


Remember... Experience Counts

SPEAKER STANDS

 

Atacama        Atacama Nexus Series

(Full range available to order)


Range Guide Prices from £75.00


The award winning Atacama Nexus 5i speaker stands are manufactured from heavy gauge steel and the assembly is made using upgraded high tensile fixings to maintain optimum rigidity.

The new Nexus i Series features isolation gel pads; these are designed to sit between your speakers and the stand's top plate. The pads are manufactured from polyeurathane elastomer which, as well as being non-slip and non-scratch give excellent sound and vibration resistance - they will isolate the speakers from the stand and enhance the sonic performance.

For improved performance, the centre column is designed to be mass loaded with Atabites, a specialist aggregate manufactured by Atacama. Carpet spikes are supplied as standard. An alternative option that can be used in conjunction with the Atabites is the heavyweight mass-loading plate - this bolts to the underside of the base and increases stability and reduces ringing. Please select the relevant box if required.

The Atacama Nexus 5i speaker stands are supplied in pairs and are available in Silver metallic, Graphite metallic or Standard Black finishes - please indicate your preference by ticking the relevant box on the right.

Available options include an alternatively sized top plate (either 130mm width x 200mm depth or 130mm width x 130mm depth) for slim yet deep or small speakers; Atabites aggregate for mass-loading the stands; and spike shoes to prevent the carpet spikes damaging laminate or parquet flooring.

STZ Soundstyle Z Series

(Full range available to order)


Range Guide Prices from £70.00


The award winning 'Improved' Soundstyle Z Series speaker stands are regarded by many as one of the best ways to enhance both sonic performance and the visual appeal of your hi-fi or audio-visual loudspeakers below £150

The stands are manufactured from high-grade steel and feature Rigid Column Construction which both ensure excellent torsional rigidity. Damping within the column reduces 'ringing' and enhances sound. Adjustable floor-spikes (now with 'Improved' Top-Adjust) allow you to easily level the stands whilst improving grounding and preventing flattening of carpet - the adjustable top spikes further increase isolation and therefore sonic performance.

QX6    Quadraspire QX600/600L

Guide Prices from £250.00

Developed from Quadraspire’s acrylic Q4 Reference Tables, QX600/600L Speaker Stands are designed and manufactured from low-mass inert acrylic for resonance-free isolation support. The unique Quadraspire curve ensures minimal contact, de-coupling and freeing audio components from their environment.

Developed specifically for stand mounted speakers, the QX600/600L ensures state of the art support. Listen to your speakers not your stands !

I think that ity would be fair to say that these are our favourite stands with regards absolute sound quality.
