Brands
Here is a list of all our major brands with links (where available) and our opinions of them. All comments are from the staff of
Eastwood Hi Fi therefore are subjective and not necessarily accurate. For a full listing of our product range please see the
products tab of the navigation menu above.
Paradigm
For over 22 years, voted the best
value for money loudspeaker in the
US. Our pricing in Australia is pretty
close so it bodes well for local
consumers. Their flagship speaker,
the Signature S8, was listed in
Stereophile as one of the best 25
mass market speakers available -
although not cheap (RRP $14,000)
they blew away much more
expensive speakers. Eastwood HiFi
is one of the largest Paradigm
dealers in the world outside of
North America and will not be
beaten on any genuine price for in-
stock items. Go to our dedicated
Paradigm page to get more
information.
Yamaha
One of the largest A/V companies
in the world. Yamaha were the first
electronics manufacturer to mass
produce surround sound for the
home. They consistently are
awarded accolades for having the
best A/V receivers available with
receivers ranging from $399 to
$7500. Over the last few years they
have also concentrated on reviving
their musicality and offer superb
stereo components along with
some of the most accurate
speakers (Soavo and 700 Series)
around. They also sell a premium
range of A/V equipment called the
“Aventage” series. This is only
available from specialist stores
such as ourselves and is for the
consumer who wants the best in
both video and audio
reproduction.
Onkyo
Believe it or not, Eastwood HiFi is
probably the one of the oldest
surviving Onkyo dealers in
Australia. We were selling the
product in 1979 when it was
imported by Rank Industries.
Onkyo have had their ups and
downs with quality and design
issues but their current range is
well made and performs above the
norm. Very musical A/V and Stereo
electronic gear, it’s highly regarded
throughout the world and their up-
market products are hard to beat.
Parallel importers spoiled the
market for a while with regards to
this product so ensure you buy off
an authorised dealer.
REL
One of the worlds first designers
and manufacturers of subwoofers
for music enhancement, REL have
been around since 1990 and was
started in Britain by Richard Lord.
The ownership has passed on
since then but the goal of making
one of the most musical
subwoofers available remains.
Varying from the tiny REL Zero at
around $700 up to the massive
$6000 G-1 which can be stacked
(what the...) there’s a subwoofer
for everyone.
Emotiva
Based in Tennessee, Emotiva is the
Poor Mans Audiophile Brand. That’s
not to denigrate the product at all,
it’s just that they manage to
produce Audiophile grade
equipment at prices that most
boutique manufactures can only
dream of. Sure, they have to cut
some corners but the overall
product experience both sonically
and mechanically is far better than
the price would indicate. Emotiva is
a great way to enter the world of
esoterica at a realistic price. Highly
recommended!
Sony
Sony arrived in 1958 (although,
originally existing under other
names since 1946). Sony is one of
the largest and most diverse
electronics companies in the world,
as far as we’re concerned however
their innovative music upsampling
and streaming devices,
Amplification and upmarket
speakers are more of interest to us.
Lately, their Projectors have come
to the fore with the 45ES being one
of the more popular mid-priced
projectors available in Australia.
Optoma
With continental headquarters in
the USA, Europe and Asia, Optoma
is one of the premier Projector
companies in the world today.
Along with Texas Instruments, they
helped pioneer the DLP technology
as used in Home Theater Projectors.
They were also one of the first to
use LED light sources in Home
Theater Projectors (although still a
little expensive). Optoma has won
numerous awards including Best
Home Cinema Projector Brand in
the prestigious UK AV Magazine
(2011)

Cambridge Audio
Recently updated website and
great innovative gear. They started
with good basic stereo
amplification and CD Players but
have now branched out into music
streaming and Sonos killing devices
such as the Minx. They offer some
hard hitting, high power
amplification at reasonable pricing.
Another example of British Design
brilliance with Chinese
manufacturing to get top quality
audio gear at reasonable pricing.
Highly recommended for the
enthusiast.
