Rapallo New Zealand is a 100% New Zealand-owned hi-fi, home theatre and audiovisual specialist, working from 11A Allens Road in East Tāmaki, Auckland. It sells premium audio brands and home theatre products, and it runs Auckland experience rooms where customers can hear and see systems demonstrated before they buy. The business also offers AV installation. Its advice is built around matching the system to the room and the budget, and the company's own example is the turntable cartridge, which it says is the first point of contact between a record and the rest of the system. A good turntable and amplifier can still underperform if the cartridge is wrong, so the team's matching of components is central to what it sells.
The Auckland experience rooms are the place to hear that matching in practice, as the company describes them.
