The Rapallo Experience Rooms
Imagine a place where you can come and listen to the speakers and turntables, view projectors and screens you are dreaming of. That’s exactly what The Rapallo Experience Rooms are for.
Not in a look-but-don’t-touch retail store environment, but some real experience rooms for headphones, soundbars, HiFi components, speakers of all sizes and types as well as home theatre projectors. We have 7 experience rooms that focus on all parts of the HiFi, Home Theatre or Head-Fi market products.
The best bit is you can book these rooms for your own product demo and they are all setup correctly, so you get a true HiFi or AV experience.
