Sometimes you'll come across people (or journalists) discussing loudspeakers, and they'll throw around terms like "sensitivity" and "efficiency", sometimes with some numbers and units flung in. But what does this actually mean, and how much does it practically matter?When people discuss the efficiency or sensitivity of a speaker, they're really trying to come up with a way to describe how loud it will go, for their amplifier. More technically, what they're really asking is how to reason about the relationship between acoustic power output and electrical power input.If we deliver the same amount of electrical power into a very sensitive speaker, that speaker will move a lot of air, and our ears will detect that air pressure change, and it will sound "loud". If we have a very inefficient speaker, the same amount of power applied will result in less air

Transducers are the most remarkable components of any hifi system - at either end - the loudspeaker or the cartridge, it's here that science and art are mostly closely working together. We provide an extensive range of cartridges, from very affordable moving magnets to the most exotic of moving coils, for any budget, and appropriate to your arm, turntable, and musical preferences. Cartridges are a very personal thing - come and have a listen and a chat, and we'll help you fall in love. Read our founder, Stephen's blog about upgrading your cartridge here!

Learning a language, or multiple languages, is often something we do for academic or professional purposes, but it can also be a great hobby. Apps such as Duolingo and Babbel have made it far easier and more rewarding to make language learning a part of your daily life. There are many different techniques for all kinds of learning, not all of which will work for everyone, but one big thing that can help you on your language learning journey is listening to music. We’ve all experienced the earworm phenomenon: having the words of a catchy song stuck in our head no matter what we do to try and get rid of it. Could music be a helpful tool for learning a language?   Generalising based on the experience of learning English as your mother tongue, I’m sure we can all remember

Furniture is one part of a HiFi system that is often overlooked, but can be crucial in getting the best out of your equipment. At Expressive Audio we believe that the importance of high-quality speaker stands, HiFi racks and AV stands cannot be emphasised enough, which is why we have curated a collection of our favourite and best performing pieces of HiFi Furniture from over 20 years experience.  We have a number of these pieces on display at our Lincolnshire HiFi Showroom, so why not pop round for a personal demo? 

At Expressive Audio we understand the importance of good record care equipment, and the difference a clean and well kept record can have on your listening experience.  Your music is only as good as the media from which the music is extracted!  For vinyl lovers, this means it's as important to look after the media as it is to have an excellent turntable. The fact of the matter is simply that dirt and dust will block the stylus from reaching the most detailed part of the record groove, obscuring parts of the music that the artist wanted you to hear. We have heard astonishing results when listening to a record we thought was clean, and then listening to it after a clean with a record cleaning machine. The whole soundstage opened up, and we were hearing detail we'd never heard before.  As

As streaming has become more and more popular - both of music, with apps like Spotify and Tidal, and with video too, with Netflix and Disney Plus, one of the challenges we sometimes face when helping our customers to get the best our of their music and movies is that the weak spot in their system is actually their home network, and especially their wireless setup. This has been made worse with so many people now working from home, and a plethora of always on “internet of things” intelligent devices vying for bandwidth in the home. We even see problems when working with architects and builders for extensions, new houses, or refits - it’s not unusual for the network and wireless to be afterthoughts, or to see people spec-ing system with several “wireless extenders” or a number of generic domestic
