Sound & Image started in the 1980's as an audiophile specialist based at Eastgate in Bedfordview.. The original concept was upmarket and included many esoteric hifi products which were importd directly as the original owners had many agencies.
The company's fortunes waxed and waned and owners changed a few times over the years until the the advent of DVD and the Home Theater phenomenon which precipitated the decline of traditional Hi-Fi outlets.

In 1999 the present owners Joe and Manda Botha took over the premises and staff and implemented the changes to rebuild Sound & Image. The strategy included creating a more open ambience in the store, focussing on Home Theater, retaining the reputation for quality brands. We decided that own imports created a bias which was not in the best interests of our clients so we source all products from officialy appointed local agents.
Product selection was based on performance, build quality, value for money, and supplier service. Today we still still use these edicts when evaluating new brands.
Our second principle of fair dealing with clients and suppliers and staff has led to a high degree of trust with all whom we deal with and we still enjoy the support of all our major suppliers and many original clients to this day.

In late 2001 we expanded to a second store in Menlyn park Shopping center where we were fortunate to enjoy almost instataneous acceptance and once again many of our first customers still support us today
.
The Menlyn store is much larger than Eastgate and besides audioning facilities we have enough space to show an extensive range of support furniture which has been very well recieved. Many systems we sell include the required stand.

The Menlyn store was followed by Sandton two years later and Centurion at the end of 2006 and at the same time we completed refurbishment of the first two stores, so now we have a consistent look for all the stores as well as a new logo.
Exciting developments in consumer electronics have encouraged us, after consultation with clients and suppliers , to expand our product offering to emphasize Plasma and LCD display panels and include audio / video distribution and home control to our Home Theater focus. Technology is converging at a fearsome pace and the lines are blurring between micro processor controlled and traditional Hi-Fi.
The move from analog to digital, and standard to High definition has meant new ways to share and enjoy your music and movies with faster and better access and more choice of where and when, and all in better quality too.
We want to be your first choice in designing supplying and installing the systems that enhance your lifestyle and give you pleasure.
-- That's entertainment folks.
