High End Audio

Authentic is a retailer of high-end audio equipment, in Brussels, Belgium. Here music lovers come together to share their passion for music. At Authentic you can experience your favourite music, in a pure and original way. You’ll learn that the best should not necessarily be the most expensive and certainly not snobbish. Drop by and treat your musical heart to an Authentic experience...

Just Listen

Buying high-end audio equipment without listening to it first is not how we do things at Authentic. Experience the music, that’s what it’s all about. It’s not necessary to know upfront exactly what you want. While you listen, Steve, Mary-Ann and Jules help you find the right match for your desired listening experience.

A High End experience

At Authentic you’ll only find the brands that the owners would like to have themselves. You listen to your favourite Bach, Bernstein, Bacharach or Beck record from your couch while savouring a good glass of wine, whisky or gin and tonic. It’s all about creating the right feeling. For that reason alone, it’s already great to be here, to listen and simply put ... to feel!

Everything you see, taste and hear in the shop is for sale. From Sting wines to the couch, the records and even the art on the walls.

High End Audio with a story

“The thing I love most is sharing my passion for music. Without music I don’t feel well, it’s been like that my entire life. As a toddler in my playpen I was always asking my mum for the “lala”, the radio. In addition to being a passionate music fanatic, I am an enthusiastic improver. Turntables, speakers, amplifiers … I am constantly connecting and reconnecting them in a continual effort to improve the sound. Music should sound in everyone’s living room the way the artist had meant it to. Every musical detail from the studio or from a live performance should be preserved and only high-end equipment can do this. That’s why I’ve been longing to open a shop like this since I was a kid. Letting other music lovers experience the original performance and building on their ideal Hi-Fi installation, well, that’s my ultimate passion!”

Music specialist Steve, entrepreneur at Authentic.
