Sometimes a speaker needs to be discreet. That shouldn't mean that it can't sound good however. Take the Krix IC-50 all that's visible in your room is a speaker grille and a vanishing thin bezel...

These were previously the Krix Atmospherix AS. Essentially unchanged, Krix have swapped the name out for a more traditional model number.

Slightly more money for the version with a Black grill ($612)

CD Players are considered an endangered species in the market so it might appear that Rotel are slightly brave to be releasing a new high end model at the moment. However in our part of the market CD layers are alive and thriving as they are purchased by people who have advanced and numerous CD collections that cannot be qualitatively matched by streaming sources. The Rotel 1572 CD Player is a good example of this ... although a plain jane disc spinner product it has intrinsic good sound and build quality that just keeps selling steadily. The DT6000 improves on that engineering for sound and longevity even further and in fact sets a new standard for a Rotel product in this category. The DT6000 is also a state of art Digital to Analogue converter that allows you to use a full range of digital sources as inputs without the redundancy of another external DAC component.

Available for audition in-store, with the Chord DAVE. The Blu MkII is a compact, FPGA-based upsampling CD transport which offers the world’s most advanced filter technology. Used with DAVE, the combination delivers class-leading CD sound quality and technical performance. At the heart of the Blu MkII lies an enormously powerful Xilinx FPGA. Rob Watts’ (Chord’s Digital Design Consultant) has used this to create his exclusive WTA M-Scaler technology, which incorporates the most advanced filter of its kind in the world. The Xilinx FPGA has also enabled a key breakthrough in tap-length (the technical indicator of how complex the interpolation filter is) taking Blu MkII to an unprecedented 1,015,808 taps. Learn More

The brand new passive soundbar by Krix is here. Combining the highest quality sound with the neat look of a Soundbar.

Specialty Krix designed tweeters complete with Wave Guide for extra control and performance. Coupled with paper cone bass drivers, this unit gives you the very best of Krix Home Theatre sound quality.

This is a passive Soundbar that doesn't have an amplifier on board. Krix have deliberately chosen this design because of the sound advantages in a passive design. The amplifiers on board traditional Soundbars are greatly compromised because they need to fit into these small Soundbar chassis. They are generally D-class amps with a thin uninspiring sound.

Keeping the amp separate is the answer to a no-compromise Soundbar.

Available in three standard sizes to fit under 75", 85" & 100" TV screens but also customisable to be made in any size ($5495 for custom size).

The Reavon UBR-X200 is dubbed to be the unit that will replace the Oppo UB205 - a much loved unit that was renowned but now not made anymore. Unlike other units the UBR-X200 can play SACDs Learn More

This is a Very small amplifier that packs a lot into it's small chassis. It's one of those units that walks out the door because it ticks all the boxes!

Will squeeze into this tiny space - yes

Bluetooth - yes

phono input for Turntable - why, of course!

digital inputs - yes, yes!

If you're after a mesmerising HiFi experience, I would point you in another direction but if you're after decent sound, little and functional, this one's perfect.

This unit also forms part of Pro-Ject's Colourful Audio System. You can check that out here

This is a Turntable that sits pride of place in the reference system here at Carlton Audio Visual. To put this first into context, our reference system consists of the Sonus Faber Flagship Aida 2 Speakers, Audio Research 160M Monoblocks & Ref 6 Pre-amp with a matching CD9SE CD player and PH9 phono stage.

Even though we have an extensive range of turntables, we still didn't have the right one for this system. 

It wasn't until Rab went to Munich High-End Hi-Fi show and sat down and listened to the Acoustic Signature's range, that he found THE ONE. He said the Invictus (@ c. $275,000 AUD) was the best turntable he had ever heard BUT this, the Ascona, holds many of the technical details of the Invictus and would also sit perfectly on our ready to go Basso Continuo rack (Invictus was a liiiittle large). 

Most importantly, the Ascona brings to life an analogue recording like nothing we've ever had in store. The 3D image of the music is papable. When we play Adele's 21, I feel like I can take a step and touch the microphone that she's singing into. 

We made sure to have the TA-9000 Tonearm mounted to this beauty.The TA-9000 is in itself an engineering marvel and I'm not the only person to believe that it is simply the very best tonearm money can buy. They make each of these with a Selective Laser Melting Process Machine millimeter by millimeter so that the inner tube is connected to the outer tubing with a precise tree-branch structure that COMPLETELY does away with resonance effects.

We've finished off the set up with a Van den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge.

he Soundsmith Zephyr MkIII enjoys a great history, starting with the well loved VPI Zephyr  original, which evolved into the well known Zephyr MKII. In our effort to bring you even higher definition without increase in cost, we introduce the NEW Zephyr MKIII. It features a newly developed aluminum alloy - the same one we are now using in the Paua MKII, just released. This new metal alloy has unique dualistic properties, providing stiffness in the ranges required as well as damping exactly where its needed - and by the proper amount - in the most critical parts of the sonic spectrum. The result  is a cartridge that will slam your Rock and Roll while providing a new level of linearity and clarity for the most complex classical and jazz passages. 

Attached to our new cantilever material is a tiny new super low mass "High Profile" Contact Line diamond we have developed for the new Zephyr MKIII. This stylus traces more of the groove walls than a standard contact line, but avoids some of the alignment pitfalls that can occur with a high profile contact line design, allowing more azimuth alignment forgiveness than is normally possible with such designs.

What’s in a NAME?
Designing for affordability while preserving top quality poses quite a challenge. Here, our more than 25 years of experience in cable design and production have come to good use. It’s the most imporant ingredient!

The NAME is a 7.3 mm Ø coaxial interconnect cable, comprising:

• Double shield
• Provides your signals excellent protection against unwanted noise and interference from the outside world’s radio frequency and other electromagnetic disturbances.
• Solid core
• A heavy 1.1 mm Ø central conductor provides high frequency bandwidth and low loss signal transfer. The cable’s construction furthermore ensures that the core is virtually unbreakable.
• Pure silver coated OFC
• Both the signal core and shield’s signal return are made of dense silver coated high purity Matched Crystal Oxygen Free Copper (OFC). This high quality composition maintains signal integrity and provides maximum durability. Signal quality that lasts!
• First-rate insulation
  The internal insulation material which separates the conductors, physically takes part in signal transfer and its quality. Not overlooking this, The NAME is equipped with a prime material which supports optimum audio and picture fidelity. The NAME’s internal insulation provides minimized signal losses and a very low 59 pF/m parasitic capacitive load.
• High-grade connectors
  Also the quality of the connectors makes a considerable contribution to a cable’s overall performance. The NAME comes fit with RCA type connectors of the same high quality as found with our up-range cables: Being non-magnetic, having Teflon internal insulation and being layer-plated with copper, silver and finally 24 carat gold, they provide a perfect and durable connection.
• Excellent protection and durability
  Last but not least, The NAME’s dense silver coated conductors, as well as its rugged and hardwearing HULLIFLEX ® jacket provide an optimal protection against chemical (corrosive) attack from the outside world and ensure a very long lifespan.

Whatever your application, The NAME keeps its promise...

Employing durable materials and providing super sound and picture quality at a very affordable price, our The NAME is a true multi-purpose AV interconnect that lives up to its name.
