The Gravis I Subwoofer is a petite unit with a gorgeous wood or polished finish.

It features a high level input and a beefer class AB amplifier like the REL subwoofers which makes it very versatile with music and home theatre listening.

But its small, single 8" driver may leave some hankering for more bass. If that's the case there is the Gravis II or even the III, V and VI!

Monitor Audio Silver 100 7G fis the latest 7th generation of the ever popular Silver series. It's the big bookshelf speaker - bigger than a normal bookshelf speaker. The first design of this sort of speaker was slated as an experiment with no real expectations that it would succeed. On the contrary, the Silver 2s (as they were then known) were extremely poplular. People loved the extra bass and musical presence they possessed without the need for going to a full floorstanding speaker.

The 7th generation of these speakers draws on those winning design features tweaking things like the mid-bass drivers and the wave guide for a little extra clarity and precision.

The cabinets have had a refresh as well. Nothing dramatic but the wood finishes look natural and textural. We also have the full range of finishes now widely available in Australia.

Amina are the original truly invisible speaker. The company that devoloped the very clever Vibrational Panel Technology or VPT which does away with a traditional cone type of speaker design altogether. This was originally an experiment by the British Defence Department to create immersive sound...in the end they didn't find it so useful...but lucky for us, it's extraordinarily useful in the Custom Integration, audiophile space.

Like the wooden panels on an acoustic instrument vibrate microscopically to produce sound, the amina speakers induce a panel to vibrate producing the frequency range of a full range floorstander.

Apart from being very light and being able to hide behind any surface, completely uninhibited, this unique technology actually has the advantage of sounding better in many ways! It's truly non directional. So wherever you stand in the room, it will sound the same. This is not the case with cone drivers and speaker manufacturers will try their hardest with engineering gymnastics (Eg. waveguides) to improve off axis performance but that fact of the matter is a cone driver will always be directional.

The detail and precision of the sound is also extraordinary and that's because of these microscopic movements needed to create the vibrations and the small amount of energy that's required to do that, 1W to produce 90dB @ 1M. That is unheard of with ANY conventional speaker design.

This extreme efficiency also means that the sound is full and dynamic, a true immersive sound.

There are other 'Invisible' speakers out there in the market but none that actually have VPT as it's patented by Amina. This means that they are heavier and create more substantial vibrations which will overtime detrimentally affect the structure of your plaster and your home.

The Edge series from Amina was developed to sit in drywall constructions and the lip to be plastered over...and then of course covered with your choice of plaster, wallpaper or anything else really!

Here a little about the Edge series here

Prices for the Edge start at $1649 and vary according to the specific model. Call us to find out more!

The SVS however is offering this at a very reasonable price point that has not been hitherto available. You get a very compact and powerful unit that is  excellent at discreetly adding deep bass to a surround system.

The front-firing driver features dual high-grade ferrite magnets and FEA-optimized internal motor technology that enable extreme excursion for high output with extremely low distortion.

The new Pro version features a redesigned 12-inch driver, an upgrade from the compariteively diminutive 10" of the previous model.

Also the new Pro version features the SVS DSP smart phone app to perfectly tune your sub on the fly. This was a feature previously only available with the higher models.
