Clearance
So, of course there is plenty of stuff for us to clear. We've always got plenty of gems lurking in dark corners of the shop. Great gear that for one reason or another is time to move on. Discontinued models, excess floorstock, trade ins, bits of gear that just never really found the right system. There is always something that's kicking around that we're willing to part with at a bargain price. Due to the migration, we've not got a full list up here yet, but we're working to rectify that. If you're chasing something in particular, please call the store!

Marantz PM12SE last one
Look deep into the mind of a man and you will find music ... Marantz is made to help you find yourself.
The original PM-12 was solely created for the Japanese market, and quickly proved to be the next chosen one. European sound engineers combined it with achievements made developing the famous PM-KI Ruby, and thus the PM-12 Special Edition was born.

Unison Research Unico 200, Integrated Amplifier, Trade-In
We sold this amplifier in 2011 and the client has loved it but decided it's time for an upgrade. This is a serious amplifier. Our very own Darren snatched up one of these but an older version that doesn't have the balanced connections.
200W of pure unadulterated power. That's more than what the current model, the Unico 150, has! In effect...better than the current model...oohhh!
It is an amplifier that will power the hardest loads with complete ease.
It has a tube preamplifier stage and a Mosfet output stage. Combining the best of subtly and grace with power and control of the Mosfets.
This unit does have some superficial wear and tear. There are marks on the case work which I have showed in the pictures.
This unit does not have a remote control nor does it come with the box or accessories. Therefore we will not be able to ship this unit easily interstate. We can offer a delivery service for certain locations. Please talk to us if you'd be interested in that.
This is a killer price for a real audiophile amplifier. Bear in mind, the Unico 150 goes for $11K new.
Come and get it, while it's still here!

Synthesis Roma 96dc 25 Watt Pure Class A Integrated, TRADE-IN
Just traded-in, we have a Synthesis Roma 96dc that is less than 6 months old. This unit is unmarked and in perfect condition however it does not come with its box and packaging. We can arrange delivery to certain locations within Victoria both Metro and Rural. Please call us to discuss this.
This is a very 'sweet' sounding amplifier. Often these pure Class A tube amplifiers with low Wattage are sweeter than their beefier brethren. And this is certainly the case with this unit.
Synthesis amplifiers are all made in Italy and they are one of the ultimate in Tube amplification. There are quite a lot of tube manufacturers on the market that produce units with a brittle, bright sound in this sub $10K category. Not Synthesis. The music is pure, without edges. The resolution is clear and transparent. As Synthesis says this amp has a 'detailed sound...above and beyond that which one would expect from an amplifier of twice its price'.
On display now and ready for demonstration and inspection.

Densen B-130 Plus, Integrated Amplifier EX-DEMO
This is an Ex-Demo unit that has been around for a while but it is the type of quality amplifier that will last for generations. Made in Denmark and having a defined, clear tonality that can sound dry to those who are sensitive to that sort of sound.
It runs a hell of a lot of current so there's no problem driving any sort of speakers even though its rated Watts sounds a little lean at 80W into 8 Ohms.
It has some very cool features like 2 pre-outs so it can be beefed up with 2 separate power amplifiers and a processor loop allowing easy connection to surround sound receivers.
It does not come with a remote.
Comes with Box and accessories.

Loewe Bild 3 55" inch TV, OLED
Step it up a notch to OLED with Loewe and you won't be dissapointed.
OLED TVs do away with the need to have a Backlight on the screen which inevitably causes bleed through onto the panel reducing colour and picture accuracy. Organic LEDs are different from normal LEDs in that they can individually switch themselves off. This is why people first notice the incredible blackness on an OLED screen - a traditional LED or LCD screen always has some residual light shining through.
The Bild 3.55 is where the OLED screens begin in the Loewe range and like all Loewe products they offer a build quality far and above other manufacturers who also utilise OLED technology.
Firstly, they have a built-in dedicated soundbar to enhance your listening experience where the bulk of a dedicated sound system isn't practical. Secondly, the Aluminium chassis oozes class and elegance as well as rigidity.

Sonus Faber Sonetto II, Walnut EX-DEMO
We're making way for the new Sonetto G2 series and selling our Ex-demo stock of the Sonettos. These units are in fantastic condition and come with all of their boxes and accessories.
This is one of those darling transducers that looks so good and sounds so good that it can melt the hardened heart of the most dedicated of interior designers and turn them into music loving Hi Fi freaks.
In comparison to Sonetto I, this is a bigger 2-way shelf loudspeaker system. Its high performance features a larger mid-woofer, which is capable of ensuring more wider downwards frequency response and a greater emotional impact. Besides its dimensions, Sonetto II still has the capability to disappear in the environment, with an elegant and graceful style.

Meze Liric Headphones Generation 1
Relatively speaking, Meze Audio, is a new company in the world of HiFi and Headphones. Founded in 2011, they joined a plethora of small companies producing good, reasonably priced over ear headphones. Many of the other companies have faded into obscurity but Meze quickly made a mark by designing someting extraordinary, The Empyreans.
The Empyreans were a revelation. Not a cheap Headphone but they make no apologies for being uncompromising in every detail of the design. Pairing with a company called Rinaro Isodynamics who make exceptional planar magnetic drivers for the Headphones, the Empyreans had HiFi reviewers stunned with their musicality and precision.
Since causing waves with the Empyreans, Meze has gone from strength to strength sticking to this uncompromising design ethos that refuses to simply follow the pitfalls of Head Fi trends. Rather they simply make sure they make units that outperform their competition in sound quality with finishing details that they find beautiful. Hence the timeless quality of their products and devoted fans they have accumulated over the last couple of years. Carlton Audio Visual has definitely become one of these fans!

Usher Mini Dancer 2 Walnut, Trade-In
We miss these speakers at Carlton Audio Visual. They are a rare beast in the HiFi world. Usher is a Taiwanese company that no longer distribute into Australia.
The Mini Dancers are a not-so-mini floorstanders with a clear and precise tone that lets the music speak. Much of this precision comes from the quite unique Beryllium/titanium tweeter.
They look a bit like a Sonus Faber with a gorgeous curved honey wood finish. But do not have the same sometimes coloured or bloated feeling that certain people dislike with Sonus Faber.
These particular units have a couple of nicks and dints. Nothing drastic but they have been a well-loved and well-used set of speakers. They are in perfect working condition and all of the nicks are purely superficial.
We do not have the boxes for these units and they will have to be picked up or delivered by arrangement.

Cyrus Phono Signature ... one of the very best value Phono stages
We are now making way for the new Cyrus models and still have brand new stock left of these beauties. I'm not even sure how they're going to make these any better. These are hot for the taking. For all those Vinyl lovers, there's not really a better phono stage out there.
Once upon a time Cyrus made a phono stage in called the Phono X, a very adjustable and sensitive line stage for adding a high quality record player to a Cyrus system encasd in their characteristic magnesium alloy chassis. It wasn't cheap, but it was simply fantastic to listen to with a sub zero noise floor and acute but sweet detail presentation.
They stopped making it in fairly short order, acceding to the then prevailing market wisdom that turntables were primitive tech doomed for extinction. Oh how we cried ... and Phono Xs became sought after and highly collectible.
Welcome to 2016 and Cyrus have risen to the call of born again vinyl and released the Phono Signature, and it is fantastic.

Cyrus X Power
One left of these exceptional units. New in a box. We are now making way for the new Cyrus models, come and get this while it's still here!
X Power
This high quality amplifier is a great example of our upgrade philosophy, providing you with excellent stereo amplification as well as the opportunity to improve the sound in the future by adding a second X Power.The X Power uses an oversized power supply, which allows it to be incredibly dynamic and responsive to even the most challenging inputs. These huge power reserves will be channelled into your music whether being used in stereo or mono mode.
To make sure all of that power is put to good use, every single component - from the die cast Cyrus chassis down to each power filter, has been selected through a careful testing process to find the combination which provides our trademark sound quality.The PSX-R2 takes the X Power to another level of power amplification. By powering the audio output stages and separating control and audio signal power supplies the PSX-R2 boosts the finesse of the X Power, translating into even smoother treble and mid-range performance and a faster weightier bass.
With a PSX-R2, an X Power can provide up to 120 watts (stereo) or 240 watts (mono) per channel (into 4Ω).

Rega Elex R, Trade-In
This unit is in perfect condition. No blemishes. This unit does not come with a box. Remote included and power cable included.
The Elex R is made in the English Rega factory and is one of the best buys available for a real stereo amp that one would justifiably expect to last a generation or two in a family. In this business we get to make snap product judgments on the way a device feels in our hands when we take it out of the box.
The particular first impression I got from the Elex was a sense of Deja Vu that put me back in the Imperial War Museum and being given a slab of 40mm armour from a Tiger Tank. It is quite remarkably solid and in fact on the hi-fi component inertia scale is possibly the highest scoring item ever ....
