About Us

 

PQ stands for a Passion for Quality

PQ Imports is a small family owned company formed in1986 by Paul & Joy Quilter, to import specialist audio brands.

Brands are selected for Quality, Design, Style, and of course, musical reality. 

You can see our newest brand - Advance Paris - which, as the name suggests, is designed in France. This exciting range has hybrid amplifiers with a tube preamp stage and solid state outputs. They also make all in one units with CD players and streaming built in. Their Playstream models offer amplifiers with streaming and high quality DACs built in. The design exhibits typical European flair. The cosmetics are unique and visually striking, the sound is superb.

Michell turntables and ProAc speakers from the UK are world famous for quality engineering that stands the test of time, and were among the first brands that we imported. We are very proud that those relationships have endured till today.

Mo-Fi Electronics from the USA have now added a range of speakers to their already impressive range of turntables and phono stages. Stylish & innovative brands such as Multi-Award Winner Ruark, are now world famous for their compact audio systems.

T + A brings German engineeering quality and impeccable build to our line-up. We chose this family owned and operated brand due to their flawless attention to detail in design and construction. We are seeing a growing demand for high quality European designed & built equipment.  Our other high-end, hand built brands such as VTL and PrimaLuna valve amplifiers reflect our passion for top quality. We offer not only the world’s best brands in two-channel stereo audio, but also in Home Theatre and Visual products, such as Audio Control processors, receivers and multi channel amplifiers and Screen Innovations Black Diamond projection screens from the USA.

We thus represent a wide range of brands covering entry level right up to the most extreme of the esoteric.

We have a dedicated demonstration room for High End music systems, where you will find Magneplanar loudspeakers paired with REL subwoofers driven by VTL amplification with a T+A source.

Very popular in Home Theatre systems are the GoldenEar loudspeakers which featuire in-built powered subwoofers.

We are happy to answer questions and give advice - just call or email.
Demonstrations are by appointment or by referral from your local dealer.

Above all else, we select and import brands that have a synergy with each other and produce a sum that is greater than the parts - incredibly lifelike and emotionally satisfying !
It is quite amazing what results we can achieve when components are properly matched with each other, no matter how tight the budget might be.

Our company employs staff who are equally passionate about quality & performance. They share our enthusiasm for the brands that we represent, and have a genuine desire to get the best results for our customers.

This passion for quality extends to the quality of service we give to our customers. PQ Imports aims to exceed customer expectations and support all the brands from our suppliers with exceptional service.
