Strictly Stereo was founded in 2014 by Lee Bevan, whose love of music evolved into a passion for hi-fi during his teenage years. During school holidays, Lee worked in hotels and restaurants, washing pots and waiting tables, and eventually saved enough to buy his first hi-fi system. This was the start of an ongoing journey in pursuit of the best possible sound, one that continues to this day.
After graduating from the University of Manchester in 1992, Lee embarked on a successful career in IT. Over the years, he began to wonder if he could combine his technical skills with his love of hi-fi. This question planted the seed that would eventually grow into Strictly Stereo.
Strictly Stereo started out at the Lock Keeper’s Cottage in Castlefield, a well-known Manchester landmark. The business quickly outgrew this space and moved to Haigh near Wigan. In 2020, it relocated to a beautiful converted barn in High Lane, Stockport, combining spectacular views of the Peak District with easy access to the city and motorway network.
What started as a small venture quickly grew into a trusted destination for audiophiles and movie enthusiasts alike. Combining technical expertise with a love for music and cinema, Lee built Strictly Stereo to offer carefully curated products from world-class brands like Dutch & Dutch, Hegel and Auralic.
