McIntosh Laboratory has appointed leading London audio dealer KJ West One, as a key retailer for the capital.

McIntosh Laboratory, along with its UK distributor Jordan Acoustics, has joined forces with exclusive central London audio dealer, KJ West One, to bring flagship models from the iconic New York marque’s range to the capital. KJ West One will now become the capital’s biggest McIntosh dealer, offering the widest range of demonstrable product.

Located just off London’s exclusive Marylebone High Street, KJ West One has been at the leading edge of hifi excellence for over 50 years. The store, which has an enviable clientele, has three purpose-built studios providing world-class demonstration facilities for London as we found out when we visited earlier this year. Spread across two floors and measuring 3,000ft², KJ West One also has a large open showcase area, specially designed to exhibit and demonstrate its luxury audio equipment.

KJ West One now has London’s biggest range of McIntosh equipment, including a number of flagship models, such as the award-winning MA8000 integrated amplifier, MCD550 CD/SACD player and the C1100/MC 1.2KW pre/power amplifier.

Tim Jordan, owner of Jordan Acoustics, McIntosh’s UK distributor said: “I’m delighted to welcome KJ West One on board not only as a McIntosh retailer, but as the largest McIntosh stockist in the capital. KJ’s demonstration facilities are arguably the best in the UK, making the centrally located store the ideal environment in which to experience McIntosh’s class-leading product range.”

Richard Davies of KJ West One added: “There is one reason we take a brand on at KJ and that is the sound. McIntosh has stunning-sounding products: they are very easy to listen to and not fatiguing, with fantastic power and control, plus exceptionally wide soundstaging. McIntosh products really are a joy to listen to.”
