These devices have been set up in one of the Drummond rooms to a particular manner by Dr Rod Crawford. His combination of alien tech room measurement microphony, artistry, experience, and innate build quality gives us a musical event that equals the technical levels of systems in the $50,000 area.

This ultimate stereo loudspeaker system offers a modular path to a potential specification that is of a unique caliber in the industry.

In our set up at the moment we are running a Chord CD transport (nice Chord Blu...) into the DEQX processor, with the signal then passed to a pair of Chord amplifiers for the mid and treble of the system. We are using Nordost Valkyra speaker cables and Moonglo digital.

The Kurlo Bipolar Subwoofers are running off their own internal amplifiers to produce a high end, tri-amplified, fully digital crossed-over set of loudspeakers that look a bit like a minimalist fantasy dalek.

In black piano gloss they are stunning to the eye and carry the same irrevocable presence in the room as a nice piece of Stienway. I feel vaguely apologetic to them that they have to share this room with any other loudspeakers...

The photograph does not do the produced speakers justice, they are offered in that deepest of deep black gloss that spells their function unmistakably as significant to their owners...

Playing some of my regular music trials through the Big Reds there was an acuity of detail that achieved that (rare for me now) sense of being able to acquire a further level of insight into the music... like finding a new passion in an old relationship...

Big Reds true peers are the very best of Meridian and Wilson. Its such a privilege to be able play this stuff at work, its like having a key to a Ferrari as a company car. If you are interested in hearing the Big Reds it is by appointment in the Drummond St Consultancy rooms. They are a speaker that is emplaced according to Dr Crawfords design and have caused an initial dismay at their playback to clients who might have been about to buy something more expensive from us...
