About Us.

Totally Wired is your independent home audio specialist based in Ōtepoti-Dunedin, with clients throughout Aotearoa New Zealand and the world. Find us here at 669 Waitati Valley Road.

For over 30 years we’ve continually evolved to match new developments in the home audio sphere, developing a carefully curated range of components and brands that combine high value, performance and long term reliability.

While we built Totally Wired’s reputation within the iconic Terrace Houses in Dunedin’s Stuart Street for many years, we moved to a home showroom and on-line model in 2017. This offers you many advantages; Waitati is just 15 minutes from the Dunedin CBD in a tranquil semi rural setting with ample parking, we’re able to lavish time and attention on you while demonstrating components and system within a real home. Great views and friendly animals are a bonus.

Our on line services are epic – we can provide you with in depth reviews and guidance. We’re constantly updating our website and work with our partner suppliers to give you the inside knowledge. Subscribe below to our newsletter and get the latest.

You can rely on our advice. We take the time to understand your personal situation and where you are in your audio journey to carefully select the best options for you, both in systems and individual components.

Quality is everything to us; it dictates every choice we make from the simplest component to the most complex system. So whatever level you feel comfortable with, you’re assured of the highest performance, best value and longest possible life. We offer you a unique proposition with independence, experience plus a proven reputation for delivery.

Our partners. When you have been around as long as us, you see the value in long term relationships with suppliers.

We’re also part of the Denco family; Frank Denson has created a unique reputation, not just in the New Zealand Audio industry but around the globe. The key brands Denco audio represents; Lumin, Sonus faber, Bassocontinuo, Monitor Audio, Well Tempered, Dynavector, Nagaoka, Kimber, Tivoli and more, are all featured at Totally Wired. This is entirely our choice informed by our long experience with all these components.

The people (and animals) behind Totally Wired. John Ransley and Carolijn Guytonbeck are both University of Otago graduates and have chosen to build a life here in Otago. Outside of Totally Wired and music we share a range of interests especially tramping and kayaking in the South Island. We reside on a former farm, on which we have engaged in a revegetation program with the Halo Project and have greatly enjoyed the resurgence of birdlife and improvements in river water quality. Carolijn also works as a specialist tutor at the university and John as director with NZAVS – the New Zealand Antivivisection Society.

When you visit you’ll be able to meet (at present count) Pyewacket the cat who features on our website, 12 pampered Hereford cows, and 18 freeloading muscovy ducks plus a plethora of native birdlife.
