finally, i managed to pressure these busy guys into giving me a full list of equipment for the blog! a big sorry for those who have been waiting eagerly.

Proprietors Ah Chee and Ah Hin were once the technicians in PE Audio, Ipoh. Not content with just earning a salary, the two enterprising men left PE Audio and started Audio Art in 1999.

A lot of people regard Audio Art’s success today as being in the right place at the right time. Audiophiles in Ipoh are mostly retirees or businessmen who have big savings and to them, buying high-end equipment to listen to music is the best form of entertainment in sleepy town like Ipoh. They are not your corporate professionals or the most refined kind of educated folks but their passion for hifi is immense. Some people say that Ipoh has the most Audio Research users in the entire country and this is not at all a far-fetched claim.

While Ah Hin manages the showroom and does repair work, Ah Chee is the Sales and Marketing man. The dynamic duo complements each other very well.

Audio Art carries many branded 2nd hand stuff such as Krell, Audio Research, Sonus Faber, Meridian etc etc. They also carry their own products which include Revolution (amplification/speakers), Stage III Concepts (cables), Marten Design (speakers) and Audionet (amplication/digital sources).

Pay them a visit, even if you are from other states, and you would then understand why they are big in Ipoh.
