House move HiFi set up or moving service?

Posted by: srichards on 01 March 2017

Do naim or linn dealers generally offer a post house move set up/ optimisation service?  I have a possible house move coming up and the main speakers are Isobariks so they're heavy and picky about where they should go. Ideally I'd like a competent person to pack it all up and then a competent person to unpack and set up at the other end.  It's all naim/old linn stuff.

Are any of the house movers trustable with hifi equipment and now how to lift and pack speakers without caving the drive units in?

I've seen how they move everything else and they don't take much care at all. Normally the hifi comes in the car and isn't touched by the movers but the Isobariks are too big.

Safest bet might be to rent a small van for a day and move all your electronics, records, CDs, TV's and other valuables yourself. If you have a good relationship with a Naim dealer they may be willing to pitch in. Have no idea if any charge for this type of service post sale. You may need to enlist a mate to help with the Isobariks of course.

I've known dealers who have come and either packed up the system, moved the system, or set it up - or indeed, all three.  You would, of course, need to pay them for their time, but if you're worried then it' well worth finding out whether a good dealer can help out.

Due to time/distance a separate journey in a van isn't an option really.

Are there any good dealers around Ayr, Dumfries or Glasgow?  It's going to be a trek for whichever one though.

Loud & Clear in Glasgow? Delivered and  installed my S600 when I had them.

Great service,

Looks like they also do installations that include home cinema so hopefully they will be able to sort that side of things as well
