Welcome to the Frank Harvey Hi-Fi Blog.
This info page is run independently to our main sales website, hifix.co.uk, and is used to provide you with a place to visit to find out more about us and be informed of new models, events, special offers, and other hugely interesting ‘stuff’.
In the About Us section you’ll find details and history as well as photos of Frank Harvey Hi-Fi and our Coventry showroom.
In the HiFix.co.uk tab you’ll find more detail about our website, which will be added to over the coming weeks.
The On Demo section gives you a full listing of manufacturers and products we have available for demo in our three storey showroom, along with a few photos.
Forums tend to be a place of valuable information for many people, and we felt that our customers, and our customers-to-be could do with a friendly forum where they can ask any questions they need answered, as well as join in day to day discussions about anything and everything. As well as sections for hi-fi and audio/visual, there is a trading section where you can sell your old equipment and post wants, read about upcoming shows and events, new products, as well as discussing movies and music. There’s even a section for your very own blog, where you can tell us what you’re doing, what your listening to, or just tell everyone about your day if you so wish. So pop over to www.peoplesrepublicofhifi.co.uk and sign up, say hello, and join in!
