Willy Hifi were extremely helpful from the get go. I had an issue with a rare subwoofer and their knowledge of the product was very impressive. With the foam surround long perished and spare parts unavailable, I had to source a new driver for my subwoofer. The one put in by the company I had purchased the unit from was awful.
They were extremely helpful in advising the best product for my system. It arrived the next day and when I installed it, the difference was night and day. The system concerned is a crossover with an active sub for the Rogers JR149 cylindrical speakers. The sub now performs better that it would have out the factory and this SB 10" 8ohm unit matches perfectly. It integrates beautifully and disappears into the mix. Very well matched. Advice given was spot on!
The driver was well priced and I was pleasantly surprised at just how well this unit was built which far exceeded my expectations for the price.
All I can say is that this is a great company who put the customer first and their knowledge is very impressive. I will be using them again for any speaker needs.
Thank you from a very happy customer (currently listening to the new speaker)!
Thankyou for your review Dan!

Been looking for a supplier of replacement drivers for some years.
Willy's HiFi had just the parts at a good price and they arrived in a couple of days.
Excellent service. Even a personal thank you hand written on the invoice.
A quick delivery and the tweeters are perfect on my mission 753 freedom speakers. Easy to fit . Highly recommend.
I’m no expert when it comes to speakers, but after some research (and a strong recommendation from ChatGPT), I went with the SB Acoustics SB65WBAC25-4 as a reference full-range speaker in this size range.
Having now tested them, I can confidently say they’re probably the best speakers I’ve ever owned. The clarity is outstanding—every detail comes through with incredible precision. The bass is surprisingly full and punchy for a speaker this size, and they handle power impressively well. For anyone looking for a high-performance compact full-range driver, these are hard to beat.
Item as described and arrived quickly - and did the job. However, I suggested that anyone replacing speaker foam makes sure they have a very large pair of sharp dressmaking scissors as it was not easy cutting to size without producing a ragged edge (which I managed to hide short of a close inspection)!
