Frank Prowse Hi-Fi history and profile

Hi-Fi Has Always Been About More Than Just Gear

When we opened the doors of our own business back in 1990, The Prowse name had already been doing what we do well for over 20 years, with Frank working for Alberts Hi-Fi from 1968 and David full time at Leslie Leonard Hi-Fi from 1976.

It wasn’t just to sell amplifiers, turntables, speakers, or televisions — it was to share our joy of music and as time rolled on film as well in the very best way it could best be experienced through the decades of change.

For us, Hi-Fi has never been about just chasing specs or stacking boxes high and slapping on a price tag. It’s about those magic moments: hearing your favourite record in such a way that for that moment nothing else matters, gathering the family for a movie night where the sound wraps around the room and for that moment you escape, or simply sitting back with a glass of red and letting a beautiful sonic landscape open up in front of you and escaping into the moment with the music you love.

Over the decades, we’ve seen technologies come and go, but what hasn’t changed is our passion for good sound, honest advice, and service that feels personal. Whether you’re stepping into Hi-Fi for the first time, or upgrading a system you’ve loved for years, our team will guide you through with the same care we’d give our own family.

At Frank Prowse Hi-Fi, you’re not just buying equipment. You’re joining a tradition — of craftsmanship, curiosity, and community — where the Prowse name has been a stable here in Perth for more than 57 years.

Because in the end, it’s not really about watts or pixels.
It’s about us jointly developing a system to your taste, that will provide you, your family and friends with great music and even better memories.
And that’s why we’re still here.
