As someone who designs loudspeakers for a living I'm impressed by the research which must have been done to make this sketch as accurate as possible! It definitely adds to the 'pretentious audiophile wanker' which Coogan was going for
Would help if it was on Netflix amazon prime or bbc iplayer. Remembered this series recently so wanted to watch but you have to buy each season, and with only 6 episodes per season, as good as they are, it's just Not worth it and I know how good it is! Needs to be available to stream to get more recognition as many don't even know it ever existed.
Yes, that would have been better; B&O and Wharfdale are not accurate enough for the precision game he is talking. I see him with a very tight Yamaha system, verging on studio monitors, with some mid-range room treatment - he doesn't want to go the whole hog; no point with Mags and Janet flanking him on the sofa, breaking up the audio reflections with their sheer presence.
I reckon someone like him would have ended up with a load of old underwhelming 70's Japanese gear, thinking its the absolute last word in hifi greatness. Definitely someone who lingers at hifi shops picking up brochures, but never buying.
Superb. Can some explain what the psychology/reasoning is behind Saxondale’s hesitation and change of mind over the cable ties? Is it simply an excuse to leave?
I too was wondering about his motive. I think it was an excuse to massage his own ego with a store expert. Clearly, he met his match and got humiliated (“you wouldn’t measure high frequency that way ”)
Hoppy.... If you have to "deconstruct" the humourof the skit, "psychological reasoning" of the character's flaws won't get you the answer.! Being aware that the pretentiousness of the character, portrayed so brilliantly, by Coogan, is all that is needed to understand.
Not sure if you mean the intro to the Saxondale series itself or this particular video? I see the reply for the series has already been given so just in case you were after the intro music to this video, it's actually a song by Matt Berry called Autumn Equinox.

Coogans character acting is first class
Don’t think he’s acting
This is superbly written

nice action. I've got one.
'Audio wankers', up there with the more modern phenomena known as 'Modular synth owners' and 'DAW-less producers'.
Experts at consuming marketing and wasting money.

Coogan's Kung Fu is Good...
Very good.
Cleremy Jarkson is definitely in the room
1:03 that cut to the Shop Assistant
My Ferguson record player and radio cabinet style late 70s probably made .
Had a great sound .
Your Kung Fu is good

I hoped Saxondale would have a quad 34/405.

As many people get this, as don't. you've got to feel sorry for those that don't, so sad.
Thanks Trump
Are you related to Peter?
Glad you feel superior
@@diabl2master Why would that please you?
Would you like an extra chair to contain your massive intellect?
Patronising bastard
Is this why all the hifi shops are closed down?! I imagine a lot of customers are like this
No. It's because people no longer feel the need to like music now.
@@lewj0 Perhaps you'd care to ask a more intelligent question.
@@lewj0 Yes. It's intelligent enough (just about), but it's not pertinent to your original enquiry. What were you trying to say, or indeed ask?
@@banjopink4409 not a lot of good music out there to like
@@eoinreilly3925 Tons of great old music though.
Love the pen toss lol
“Do you want a Dolby with that?”
Hilarious!
Perfect casting

God, this is good!
I wonder if the shop assistant also has a basic grasp of Latin? #askingforafriend

Ancient Greek, Latin is for Currys. And no he's not free for a pint.

Comedian Andrew O'Neill.
Bloody hell, yes. Didn’t recognise him without the eye shadow.
I miss Tandy!

Too bloody expensive.
dont think he really had any intention of buying anything. Just went in to massage his ego.

Toe curling - ha ha.
Anyone know what the intro music is from? Or if it was just composed for the show.
It's by Dutch proggers Focus and the track is House of the King

Equally as cringe worthy as Partridge.
#@&%, is this Gaelic? Welsh? I'm sure it's funny, but most of what he says bounces off my eardrums. How about some English subtitles?

It's English, mate
