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!

Replaced faulty Studio 0.5 drivers with these. Had a wobble about the fit so called to confirm details and had superb advice. Recommend both the drivers and Willy's!
I've been repairing a set of vintage speakers (Rogers JR149's) and honestly, I wouldn't have been able to do it without components and parts from Willy's Hi-fi! Thanks for the help and advice as well!
Quick shipping and high quality cloth. Very easy to work with and sticks well with contact adhesive. Very pleased with the final look!
Thanks to Will for advising on a replacement for these classic Arcam speakers from the early 90s. Good value and quick shipping. This was a small restoration project on this sealed box design - these now sound punchy, crisp and clear and really fill the room. Tweeters seem to still be breaking in as the detail and imaging just keeps getting better! Looking forward to coming back for parts for the next project!
I needed to renew the foam fabric around my JR149 loudspeakers. Age and UV light had caused them to start disintegrating - not helped when one of our cats decided to assist with her own paws!!
Googled and up came Willy's details. I confirmed that I needed two of the "large" sheets and paid by Paypal. Order promptly dispatched and JR149s cosmetically restored!
