“I have known Jeff for quite a few years now and have worked closely with him as we upgraded my audio system. He greatly helped me in many ways with this, but what was most important for me was that he could articulate different possibilities and so I was able clarify my ideas of what I wanted. Over a period of several years, we gradually achieved my system and now it continues surprise me. Its musicality, realism and magical qualities which brings me closer to a feeling of the music that I wish to hear time and time again.
His knowledge on all things related to audio is impressive and he is always available and willing to speak about audio in general or answer specific questions. Jeff is trustworthy and he is able to relate his knowledge to my specific needs. He is well worth talking to.”

Audio philosophy
“Although I represent premium audio equipment, my overall philosophy and role is more as an Audio Consultant where I believe in taking a holistic approach to your entire system. This approach revolves around the synergy of all the components in your system and includes everything from your room and electrical power system as well as your audio components and cable systems.
I also believe in being totally honest with my clients. If I don’t know the answer to your question, I don’t just make something up. I’ll investigate and get back to you with the correct answer. There is a 2-way benefit to taking this approach; you will get an accurate answer to your question and I will learn something which increases my knowledge base and may alter my paradigm.
I like to gain an understanding of your current system, your room, what you like and dislike about your current sound and your audio journey so far.
Various aspects of your listening preferences are very important to me i.e.:
- What genres of music you prefer and how loud you like to play music?
- What aspects of the music are most important to you (e.g. level of detail, soundstage, instrument tonality, rhythm & pace and the impact, dynamics & tactility of the music)?
- Where you sit in relation to your speakers?
These discussions are helpful in giving me a complete understanding of your preferences.
Sometimes, you may want to focus on a single new component, or you may be happy to discuss the potential future of your whole system (your future plan). Either way, I am here to share my experience and guide you to a great result.
My philosophy involves a few key principles, including:
- The synergy of how components work together.
- The role of the room and the listening position.
- The relationship between room size & layout and the choice of suitable speakers for the listening space.
- The correct matching of amplification & speakers.
- Power delivery to the system.
- Having the peace of mind of a long-term plan for your system, based on a sonic presentation that you know you enjoy.”

“I have been dealing with Knox Audio for the last few years and have made two major component purchases from them so far. I plan on buying more of my future equipment upgrades from Knox Audio, based on my experience to date. Jeff Knox is one of the very few in the industry who is not just a businessman, but is a truly passionate audiophile himself, as well as a source of a number of excellent brands at fair prices.
His knowledge and understanding of the goals of an audio system, backed by his strong technical background in electrical design, and a deep understanding of modern equipment brands and their capabilities, makes Knox Audio one of the best places in Australia to buy high end audio equipment. The most telling feedback is that Jeff will even recommend away from a potential purchase of equipment if he feels it is wrong for your needs, despite it potentially costing him a sale.
If you are a serious about needing honest and knowledgeable advice and great equipment and support, then I highly recommend you contact Jeff Knox at Knox Audio and see for yourself.”
“I have known Jeff Knox of ‘Knox Audio’ for more than 25 years. Jeff continues to amaze me with his knowledge and enthusiasm for everyone to enjoy music. Jeff has helped me over the years to upgrade my system from Lo-Fi to an extremely enjoyable High-End system. I have the utmost confidence in Jeff, and I can highly recommend him to anyone wanting to obtain any system.”
“Working in the entertainment business for 43 years I dealt with numerous audio guys. In the last few years, I’ve had the pleasure of liaising with Jeff of Knox Audio. Never before have I come across anyone with so much knowledge of the audio business. I only wish I had found him earlier.”
“After 40 years of working in studios as a professional musician, it was time to upgrade the home stereo system. Following home renovations, I visited a number of well-known Hi-Fi retailers in the Sydney area, and while these people sold quality items, I was constantly being pushed towards floor stock that did not possess the sound I was looking for, ‘dynamic punch’. After further research I discovered Knox Audio in the southern suburbs of Sydney, where I spoke directly to the owner Jeff Knox, who fully understood what I was after. I attended his showroom and auditioned a number of CD Player, Amp and Speaker configurations with my own hard rock CD collection.
Price was not the issue, my ears were! After a short time, I was totally sold on a high-end audio system and I have not looked back. I have nothing but the highest recommendation for Jeff. His range of products and superior audio knowledge made the purchase that much more enjoyable. He fully understood that my purchase was to be placed in a lounge room area not a purpose-built listening room. The sound of the new system I purchased is explosive but controllable. I would totally recommend Knox Audio for anyone interested in quality, knowledge and old-fashioned customer service in High End Audio.”
