The Bild S is German Television manufacturer, Loewe's, reference set. When on, it's an image that draws everyone in to stare at open mouthed. It's realism and depth is awe inspiring. A boldness of colour that is mesmerising and lacks the artificiality seen on other TVs. 

This set sets itself apart not only by its image quality but the finish on the unit as well. With a double layer of glass, a motorised screen that slides up to reveal the soundbar as well as a slim bezel that feels like it's hewn from alien rock. The whole unit is machined and engineered to a premium specification.

The Bild S looks and feels expensive without being over the top and ostentatious. It blends into a room when its not on. Not drawing attention to itself until its switched on and it beckons you in.

Because of the high quality of materials and precise construction, the Bild S offers a longevity that's not afforded by other Asian manufacturers. For those who'd like to buy just one TV that will last a decade or more, Loewe is the one. I have a 10 year old Loewe Television at home and the picture quality demolishes most modern, Asian sets you can buy these days.

In the Loewe tradition, the soundbar on the Bild S consists of a front firing, sleek looking 2 x 60W stereo array. The set is more than capable of punching out an engaging soundtrack. There's no need to add a bulky cumbersome sound system to these sets. For those who want a stand alone, do it all Television, the Bild S is perfect.

These Televisions are loved by interior designers and Audio Visual enthusiasts alike. Elegance and performance in one package.

There can be only one and this is the current evolutionary pinnacle of single box multichannel home theatre amplifiers. Carlton Audio Visual had a terrific relationship with the original Denon AVCA1SE that was a 29kg five channel x 170 watt super amplifier from the year 2000. Now its 2023 and we have the only fifteen channel x 210 watt with 4 independent XLR and RCA subwoofer outputs. The amplifier is made in Shirakawa in Japan which is actually fittingly not far from the Kure Naval Arsenal where the flagship 65000 ton Battleship Yamato was constructed in 1941 ... with nine 18 inch guns the Yamato is a perfect analog for the AVCA1H. The AVCA1H has the largest power supply ever in the history of Denon theatre amps... the main transformer weighs 11.5 kg whereas the previous model AVCX8500 had a transformer weighing in at 8.1kg Learn More

Every now and then Loewe bring out a television product that throws down the gauntlet for design and performance so as to let the other television manufacturers know who really is the boss.

When your newest model television has evolved to minimalist thin screen how do you actually make it beautiful and something special?

An alien species coming to visit would conclude that most of the human race is in religious servitude to mysterious black rectangles that transmit controlling information for several hours a day.

Well this Loewe TV made in a piece of stone is a graven image to which all other Televisions are subservient.

This will be available in two sizes, being the 55 inch for $12,999 and the 65 inch for $15,999 ... there will be slate grey and clay white finishes and very limited quantities.

The Loewe iconic has been awarded the Gold medal for design by the IFF 2023

This is quite simply, the best projector we've ever had in the store by a long margin. Essentially it's Sony's $90K projector put in to the slimmer more home/mounting friendly chassis.

This particular unit has been released from a failed building development and the stock needs to be moved on.

The picture quality with this projector is transformative. The detail brings out a depth of field that is unrivaled. Images sparkle with an intensity because the colour gamut is so large. 

Laser light source will provide circa 20,000 hours of viewing (that equates to around 10 years IF you're playing the projector 6 hours every day).

We have this set up as an Atmos reference system in one of our buildings and, though I say so myself, we have done some absolutely fabulous work in Melbourne and Victorian homes with this system.

Designed for larger dedicated home cinemas with an acoustically transparent screen, the MX-30 will deliver your favourite movie soundtracks with supreme definition and accuracy, right through the picture and into your seat. Larger bass drivers and compression high frequency drivers provide an extended frequency response at higher sound pressure levels.

To see this in its sheer walnut solidity is to be inexorably struck by the beautiful hand crafted physicality of the thing. A remarkable exercise in style and design of high end audio technology.

Sonically this loudspeaker has some very different properties ... it has extreme midrange presence with detail and realism that presents the performance that is directly injected into ones forebrain. The bass is deep and deeper.

Playing Adele 25 she is fully projected into the room with an almost visible intensity and when the bass comes in it will make the earth move for you just a little bit.
