Loewe Compose 52 with optional speakers



This range of TVs I confess has been a humbling experience. They are just so much better than South East Asian devices, the image that greets me on oh so familiar demo material is immediately outstanding. They do that trick of adding depth to a two dimensional image and are seemingly free of all those processing artefacts that one desparately tries to ignore after youve noticed them for the first time. Oh and they look ... just gorgeous.

So this is Rega following along from the fine UK tradition of high performance limited run product ... usually made available by a piece of appropriate high spec componentry being stuck in a carefully tailored and voiced combination ... think Musical Fidelity Tri Vista and Marantz Ken Ishiwata pieces ... so there are only 500 of these being made in the world ... they've got future classic sprawled on them muddily ... they are a nice etching and reek of Lotus ... they've been clocked in the fashion of Yamaha CDX1's by Britisher's in the eighties ... along with super caps on the post DAC amplifiers a la Ishiwata ... We are led to believe that this is a very substantial sonic improvement over the standard Apollo ... serial numbered 001 - 500 ... We have only five of them ... I guess we will wait and see who the purchasers are. This is the link to Rega's home page on their regular Apollo ... they don't appear to have listed the Anniversary ...not enough to go around perhaps ...
