“When approached by Dave and Stephen for The Big Romance, it was clear they weren’t just opening another bar; they were crafting a haven for music lovers. Their vision was to blend a a high-end listening experience with the sociability of a craft beer pub.
My proposal? A hybrid sound system that marries the fidelity of hi-fi with the precision of a studio monitor from the golden era of recording studios. A system that’s not just heard but felt, integrating a bespoke DJ console, record storage and acoustic panels. Offering a nod to Japanese listening bars where the music takes centre stage, this system isn’t just equipment; it’s the heartbeat of the Big Romance.”
