CAVD Explains Why Great AV Systems Start With People
We catch up with Jamie and Mel at CAVD Distribution to hear what changed in the last year, what they rebuilt in the showroom, and why the right mix of people and products matters as much as raw specs. We also dig into the shift toward simpler single-room AV systems, plus the big news of CAVD taking on Krix as the new UK distributor.

You can tell a lot about an AV company by what they choose to demo and what they choose to hide. We’re back at CAVD Distribution in Marlow to see what’s changed since last time, and the answer is clear: they’ve rebuilt the showroom around systems that look and behave like real homes, not fantasy installs. Jamie and Mel walk us through how they think about momentum in a tough market, why “people buy from people” still holds, and what separates a good product from a dependable solution for integrators and homeowners.
We get hands-on with the current lineup, including Origin Acoustics for discreet architectural audio and Leon Speakers for design-led home theater sound that actually complements the room. From lighting-friendly speakers to art-style acoustic panels, the conversation keeps circling one idea: leave nothing unfinished. We also talk about the growing shift toward single-room AV solutions, when a simple TV remote can be the right call, and when full control systems still make sense for premium projects.
Then comes the big announcement: CAVD is the new UK distributor for Krix, the Australian cinema speaker brand built for serious home cinema performance behind the screen. We dig into why CAVD chose Krix, what dealers get in terms of testing, stock support, training, and design help, and how they’re streamlining their portfolio so integrators can spec faster with more confidence.
If you’re a custom AV integrator, home cinema designer, or homeowner researching a home theater build, press play, share this with someone planning a project, and subscribe for more. After you listen, what matters more to you: invisible tech or statement design?
