A stylistic and fantastic sounding set of Headphones. Crispy and detailed with a tight bass.

Great as an all purpose, listenable set of cans. In a train, on a plane, working from home or in the office.

This is fantastic value for a 'naked' body cartridge and is the perfect choice if you like an airy, spacious sound. It doesn't have as much life, dynamics and detail as the Starling and if you have a flexible phono stage, I would recommend the Low Output version of the Songbird.

For those who want an incredible cartridge with a transparency in the sound and don't have a fancy phono stage to match the low output models, this is a beauty.

We have a pair of RA-6000 and DT-6000 Ex-demo to sell Ex-Demo. 

Power corrupts they say, but with an amplifier there is no substitute for current and wattage when it comes to exercising authority over a recalcitrant loudspeaker load. 

With this new Rotel Diamond series subjugation of the fine motions of the transducer to force absolute compliance to the needs of the music signal is the key to its power.

Unlike the brutal human autocrats of our contemporary experience however, the Rotel offers a deeply benign and truthful empowerment of the listening experience. 

Like all Rotel amplifiers this is destined to stay in your family for a generation or more. The internal componentry is made in house and is of quite exceptional quality with longevity as a prime directive.

The much anticipated Meze 109 Pro Headphones have arrived at Carlton Audio Visual. I first heard these in May in Munich and knew they'd be extremely popular. The headphone marketplace is missing a HiFi level headphone at the mid $1K mark and these fill those shoes.

They punch above their pricepoint and are detailed, full sounding, big soundstage type headphone. These aren't a plastic headphone that only sell because they're endorsed by some forgettable celebrity.

Meze are a relatively new (10 years old) Romanian manufacturer of headphones making big waves in the industry. They are a group of young professionals passionate about the products they make and the work they do. Having met a whole bunch of them, I get the impression they all could be off making a lot more money working in Germany or Switzerland for big corporates but they prefer to stay in their home country working with their friends and colleagues on great products.

Now on display at Carlton Audio Visual!

Yes we do sell Sonos. As convenient, low-fi pieces of Audio gear, Sonos is really useful. If you're after proper Hi-Fi then you should look at separates as in an amplifier and a set of speakers. You can always add a Sonos Streamer to a system lie this if you really want to stay in the Sonos sphere.

We don't keep al the Sonos gear in stock but can get it in for you.

This little unit has been designed for portability. Take it on a picnic or have it on your bedside table where it can fit in with the rest of your system as well.

These are simply a good quality, great value set of stands. Very popular and suitable for a range of bookshelf speakers. Their new finish is an elegant Matt Black (this model isn't availble in White)

The use of the term metamorphic in this new products description alludes to both the groundbreaking technology that is applied here and the potential ability of the prodigious bass output making the earth move for you ...

Devialet continues to produce unique and innvotive audio products that set the benchmark for top performance in their categories. This Mania applies the now established Pahantom tech to a portable wireless loudspeaker.

The Mania is available in light grey or black for $1400 or in a gold Opera version including desktop charger for $1700. It has a ten hour battery life, a 95dB output and a unique active microphone sensing system that adjusts the output pattern to match the acoustic environment.

I realy like the idea of having a Mania as an Australian lifestyle crossover device sitting in a charging cradle as an internal speaker then being taken outside when circumastance permits.

The Evolution of the desktop Radio is here! 

While this looks like a good-ol'-fashioned tabletop radio, the R2 Mk4 hides some modern conveniences. Including Bluetooth connectivity, WiFi streaming, Spotify Connect as well as class leading audio quality.

This British made unit has the warmth and styling of Burberry.

The R2 gives more sound and bass than the petite R1 and is perfect for where you'd like a stylish addition to a room that will start a party as well.

The R2 Mk4 has a optional extra remote for $35.

These days it's so hard to find a half decent small monitor TV. The Asian TV brands either simply start at 55 inch or if they have a smaller set, they are horrible things that look bad when they're on and even worse when they're off.

Also the last thing you want when space saving on a small TV is to find that you need a whole extra sound system to go with it because the in-built speakers are firing onto your wall and they're crappy little things anyway.

This is where the Loewe We. SEE 32 is different. It has an on board front firing 80W sound bar that integrates with the monitor looking just as stylish as the monitor itself. They come in a funky range of colours as well as a subtle grey to look the part in any room. Their build quality and picture is well above the competitors in this size of Television.

This unit comes with your streaming apps loaded onto the TV boasting all of the conveniences of a modern Smart Television. Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and Freeview Play are all ready to go and the remote control has easy buttons to navigate straight to them.

Come and see these units at our Lygon st. showroom and have a play on one yourself!

An affordable and stylish TV by iconic German TV manufacturers, Loewe.

The We.SEE range is Loewe's new entry level TV and the 50 inch is their middle-sized offering. It is a full 4K TV unlike the smaller 32 inch version and also boasts the HDR10 rating. This is a brilliant picture for an LCD screen at this price.

It also comes with an integrated 80W soundbar that looks and sounds pretty sleek, all your integrated apps for a modern Smart TV and some nifty well designed cable management to keep that smart aesthetic. 

This is Loewe's newest offering targeting a more entry level buyer than their classic high-end units. 

It's a lot of TV for $2499 though. A classy build and finish that we come to expect from all Loewe products is not missing from the We.SEE range. This TV looks good when it's on and just as good when it's off.

It has an integrated soundbar that is a very capable 80W with a big, clear sound as well as all the smarts like Netflix and Youtube built-in and ready to press play. 

This is a 4K LED Television with HDR10 rating which means it has the tech specs to make a picture look detailed and vibrat.

Come and see them for yourself at our Lygon st. showroom.

Have your cake and eat it with a Yamaha Receiver born again for the third decade of the 21st Century … the RN2000 is going to be very much in demand. In some ways this hearkens back to the Receiver wars of the seventies where the likes of Yamaha Marantz Sansui and Hitachi made increasingly higher powered and more heavily buttoned AM FM receivers that became the battleships of the marketplace. This RN2000 is more of a Heavy Cruiser than a Yamato class product though ... Like the Heavy Cruisers of the Japanese Navy in the early forties, the RN2000 is outstandingly useful and versatile with a remarkable number of functions and high performance in a single chassis. Unlike the mad flagship battleships they proved to be tough and largely survived the awful depredations of the Pacific war until sunk as target practice in 1946.

This RN2000 is really nice though, actually a straightforward combination of the highly acclaimed AS1200 stereo amplifier with a high grade multifunction streaming engine and DAC. Come and listen to it through sweet natured loudspeakers. The FM section by the way is absolutely fantastic, hearkening back to the Yamaha T7 tuner of yore that is considered a reference for analogue broadcast quality.

The HR-200S Reference Tonearm is the next installment of the highly successful Alphason HR range. Built on the foundation of the prestigious HR-100S tonearm, the HR-200S takes the original concept and the knowledge gained, furthering those ideas and improving upon them to create a truly outstanding tonearm. Each HR-200S is meticulously hand assembled, with a titanium one-piece headshell and arm tube along with bespoke bearings, providing the perfect, neutral platform for any high-performance cartridge.

These are available in 9 inch, 10.5 inch and 12 inch versions.

The new range of the Homage series is nearly here and it promises to be everything and more than the extraordinary series it is replacing. 

An even tighter bass allowing for extra detail has been promised as well as a very smart looking Graphite colour-way!

These are the latest iteration of this big no compromise UK design. The outstanding characteristics of this speaker are the immense delicacy of the treble nature along with the massive attack offered by the exceptional bass drivers. The original Platinum 300 is still in use by many of our clients and is really hard to get a positive upgrade of. The third generation retains all those virtues of air and space with thunder but has refined and deepened the musical portrayal.

A speaker to die for ...

The Platinum 300 official site. 

The Platinum 300 review by Stereophile Oct 2023. 

The big version of the Klang mr range by Loewe. This active speaker looks a little different and sounds big and room filling lacking the tinny sound of its younger siblings.

Touch controls on its top panel and easy to multi-room are hallmarks of this unit.

The D9.2 is quite possibly the finest loudspeaker Spendor have ever made. The D9 is a different kind of beast having cutting edge dynamics and resolution that the un-braced cabinet designs of the Classic series do not approach.

We have found this to be the end run for those we call the seeker clients. That is that select group of dedicated audiophile clients who may take literally years to hunt down and find their particular loudspeaker nirvana. This is like that hunt for the holy grail of loudspeaker that gives all the detail and all the emotion. These very dedicated people will take years to find their perfect loudspeaker. Several of them have purchased the Spendor D9.2 ...

An elegant, modern, 3-way loudspeaker, the D9 delivers music with exceptional resolution and a vibrant realism with any genre. Easy to drive and highly efficient, the D9 is also remarkably flexible and can be placed in any living environment.

The Sort Kone is a directly coupled and mechanically tuned resonance control device, using a sophisticated new approach to the problem of supporting sensitive electronics. 

Whereas most equipment supports are referred to as Isolation Devices, this actually completely misunderstands the nature of the problem. The most harmful mechanical energy doesn’t enter the equipment from outside; it’s generated internally by the audio circuits and their power supplies. Transformers, power supply capacitors, even the active devices themselves, all vibrate as they operate – and those vibrations occur right where the fragile signal is, creating timing errors that smear and distort the music. The Sort Kone is designed specifically to deal with this threat to audio fidelity.

Sort Kones provide a “blacker” background to your music. With it comes greater focus, instrumental color, depth, transparency and dynamic range. Your system will sound more natural and more lifelike, your music more lively and engaging, the musicians like better musicians – simply because you’ll finally be able to hear the notes they’re playing, the way they play them and precisely when. So, release the hidden performance that’s lurking in your equipment.

• Three-part construction employs superior materials in a mechanically tuned configuration.
• Bypasses soft feet fitted to equipment to provide a direct mechanical ground path for internal energy.
• Can be used in triplets, quartets or even larger numbers.
• Height: 56mm
• Four levels of price and performance, depending on materials employed:

TC – titanium post and base in combination with an upgraded ceramic coupling ball.

All units are individually packed so that you can determine the optimum number for your system’s requirements. 

They call it the inky blackness hidden in the music ...

The P20 is the ultimate cleanser for your mains power.

Demanding systems require remarkable power. The DirectStream P20 Power Plant is the finest expression of the art of delivering protected, pure, regulated, distortion-free AC power.

With peak power levels of 3600 watts, no equipment can tax the mighty P20. Finally, your most coveted components have the opportunity to unleash their full potential, no longer hindered by dynamic drops in AC caused by the unavoidable resistance of the miles of wiring between you and the power station.

DirectStream P20 regulates both long-term fluctuations and peak dynamic without deviation, ensuring a solid foundation from which to build a state-of-the-art system. Its low output impedance and unhindered AC delivery are equivalent to less than 50 feet of 12 gauge wire connected directly to your city power source without the connecting miles of wire, the many transformers, and the multiple neighbors weakening and contaminating your power.

The most demanding music systems require nothing less than the P20.
