The mighty Neuphonix is the top of the range of Krix floorstanding home speakers. Like a Mission 753 in configuration but much better performance.

There's no finer way to break one's own ribcage than to put a kick drum in the chamber and pull the trigger on the Krix flagship speakers. A true three way cross over ensures the crisp mids and high notes are not muddled by the awesome power of the 4-driver bass array.

There is an in wall version of this loudspeaker that is surely amongst the best architectural loudspeakers available.

It has an unprecedented 13.2 Channel Processing capability, of course all of the latest immersive audio formats like DTS:X, Dolby Atmos and Auro-3D, enough EQing and room adjustments to make your system sound perfect in ANY situation and soooo many other goodies it's hard to list them all.

The Sony Bravia 9 is the Shiny Bright new offering from Sony. Their top of the range features the very best in processing with the brightness and pop of Mini LED technology.

This is Sony's brightest 4K TV ever! 

But do not mistake us. This is not a 'washed out', bright TV with no accuracy. This unit is one of the very few units on the market that has both brightness and accuracy in spades.

It has improved backlight control, improved processing and hits the mark of giving the very best OLED TVs a run for their money.

You'd be hard pressed to see the difference between this TV and a similarly priced OLED. Its backlight control and processing really neutralise the effect of the Back Light.

Sony Televisions have a cult following for good reason. They look after details in picture quality and always produce an image that pops and sparkles. They are user friendly and 'family happy'. From Teenage gamers, nerdy Videophiles to people who 'just want a simple TV', Sony always hits the mark.

Currently only available in the 75" version but may soon also be available in an 85". Please check in with us for availability on sizes.

The price of Sony TVs in the Australian market is volatile. Please note that we will endeavour to match prices and do not keep our website prices up to date with these units as they can change by the day.

The Bild i series of Televisions is a quality affordable OLED TV. Classier than your off the shelf mass market Asian brands. Even the finish on the metal bezel oozes quality as well as the glass on the front of the sets being super low reflection.

You now get all your smarts built into the TV and easily accesible via the remote control.

As well being an awesome, natural yet brilliant picture. It doesn't feel like you step into an oversaturated alien landscape when you watch a bild i TV. That is the effect you can get looking at even some of the super expensive, super bright Asian TVs.

The picture is sharp but not jagged and the colours are lifelike but not overly saturated.

This 77" offering may seem imposingly large but because the picture quality is so good and because the TV balances brightness and contrast so well, it doesn't feel overwhelming when you're watching it.

Come in and give it a test run for yourself. On display now at Carlton Audio Visual.

The brand new Denon AVC-X6800h is here. With all the features of the new Denon range including four (4!) independently controllable subwoofers, the latest in Audyssey room correction software ready to go and options for Dirac Live to be loaded.

Not only that, this is a unit that is made in the Japanese factory. This means better componentry and better quality testing. You can feel the difference in a Japanese made unit when you take it out of the box for the first time. They are more solid with less give in the chassis, there is no greasiness on the metal finish, the knobs rotate precisely and smoothly, the buttons have a solid and confident tactility.

The AVC-X6800 has a cleaner sound, more power and more grip than the smaller models. It's all about the current delivery and ability to handle the reactive impedance load imposed on the output stage by good quality loudspeakers.

The point of the photographs in front of the Hume Dam in full font is that this unit has a large reservoir of power, and that it is capable of delivering high peak current on demand with very pure low distortion power.

This series of Denon amps are famed for their tonal neutrality and their ability to meet the peak headroom demands of complex and dynamic cinema soundtracks and musical pieces.

The AVCX6800 has pure preamp mode wherein the internal amplifiers can be fully disconnected from the preamp stage, this allows for the cleanest preamp out operation up to 4v rms.

For more information follow this link to the Denon official Website

Herewith below an excellent video description of the 6800 from the US product trainer:

The ViewSonic X100 LED 4K projector is setting a benchmark at its price point. There are some very cool features to this Projector that are normally found in units at least double its price. Foremost, is the LED technology. No lamp replacements needed and superior colour and brightness levels are evident at first glance.

Wide lens shift is a fantastic addition to this unit and another feature generally found in much more expensive models. In a model at htis price range we'd normally find digital keystoning instead. It achieves the same end of positioning the picture perfectly on your screen but will deteriorate the resolution of the image at the same time. Whereas Lens shift will not. 

Other nifty features are the dedicated control app that puts all of the projector's features at your finger tips (apple and android devices), in-built Alexa so you can control the unit completely hands free and motorised lens cover, that automatically opens when you power on the projector. 

This is a feature packed projector optimised for sensational Home Cinema. 

Come check it out at our Home Theatre demonstatrion rooms in Carlton!

Anthem is "the other woman" of the surround sound Receiver market and is a quality alternative to the tier one Denon/Marantz/Yamaha products. This is the first integrated Receiver available of the new 40 series and it has the latest version of their acclaimed ARC Genesis room correction circuitry. The Bass management is considered the best in the business. The MRX740 is seven x 100 watts ... approximately ... and it's output stage is able to be rematrixed so that you can put a power amp on the main channels and use the internal channels for the surround speakers. This is a great amp for growing into a full blown 11.2 Atmoa speaker system.

The brand new, top of the range Marantz integrated AV receiver is in a class of its own. Capable of some of the most advanced processing available in the residential home theatre market along with some serious grunt in amplification but with a warmth and musicality to the sound that is special for Marantz.

Previously the kind of EQ, bass control and room management technologies that the Cinema 40 has, were only present in units over the $15K mark and that was $15K for a preamp. Cinema 40 has capacity for 4 subwoofers and the suite of processing to go with it, that means your subwoofers won't cancel each other out. Yes this is often the problem with simply adding more subwoofers. Once you hit 2, subwoofers on opposing ends of the room generally create inverted sine waves that will cancel the effect of the existing subwoofers.

Interestingly, this unit also comes with the option to upgrade to Dirac Live, opening up another level of EQing possibilities previously unheard of at this pricepoint.

This hot hatch of mid range video projectors is very bright and powerful. It has been getting outstanding reviews from the critics for its forceful bright image and versatility.

The 9400 has a couple of outstanding characteristics in the Australian market ... it has a full three year warranty that uniquely includes the globe, and replacement globes are only $110 trade ...

Larger than its Sony competitors and not quite as smooth an image, but excellent for a theatre situation with some residual light, good adjustability and set up options.

Comes in White and Black. Please call for availability of colour options.

The new range of Loewe Televisions includes some handy features like improved accessibility to streaming apps, better picture quality and integration of soundbars.

Most modern TVs on todays market pay little if any attention to the speakers on a Television. Putting in small tin-can sounding components that face backwards towards the wall making dialogue pretty much incomprehensible.

Loewe has always been one to put in the effort and the capital into good quality sound and that's a particular reason why their TVs stand out from the crowd. 

The Bild is series now integrates this soundbar neatly into the frame of the Bild i Television. 

If you own your own standalone sound system and don't require a dedicated soundbar, the Bild i would be more appropriate. 

The Bild is is perfect for those who want great sound in a slim single unit package.

The Bild is comes in 48", 55" and 65" versions.

A superior product for those who want superior home theatre.

Another exciting new offering from Denon as the replacement of the AVC-X4700.  Actually it dosn''t really look that exciting, in fact it looks exactly the same as the other Denon'amplifiers from the last thirty three years that we have been selling them. The good thing ... the really good thing about this do everything amp, is that it carries that cusp of technologies that will carry a potential owner for another ten or fifteen years of ownership . Without having to replace an amp every fifteen years because it has outdated HDMI switching, or a urine weak power supply that breaks down at every voltage surge. This is an amp that will go the distance.

This unit is crafted in the Japanese factory of Denon, their premium factory in Shirakawa. The AVC-X4700H did not have this luxury and the move over to Japan prompted a complete redesign of the unit's internal structure. They now use a Monolithic Amp Layout as opposed to a vertical layout. Solid heat sinks and a more discreet amplifier module design for much superior clarity and definition are instantly recognisable in this new design. See the attached images of the internal amp module output stages of the 4700 opposed to that of the 4800.

This unit will also come with the option to have 4 subwoofers each independently controllable, as with the AVC-X3800H. And the optional addition of Dirac live as well.

Using LED technology, this unit is bright and fun. Not to be confused with its 1080p sibling this projector is full 4K UHR.

...And yes, we think lamps and globes are quickly being relegated to the realms of archeology.
