The new SVS PB-3000 subwoofer combines a brand new 13-inch high-excursion SVS driver, an 800 watts RMS, 2,500 watts peak power amplifier with the most sophisticated SVS subwoofer technology ever developed with trailblazing new innovations. The result? A subwoofer that demolishes all performance benchmarks in this price range and well beyond.

Price-drop Ahoy! We are clearing our Dynaudio stock. Our loss is your gain. These are a fabulous little pair of floorstanders going at a great price. 

These two-and-a-half-way speakers strike the balance between compactness and restraint, and unabashed, wide-eyed enthusiasm for music.

A slim and elegant form factor speaker but with a beefy sound. This is the archetype of the modern line array floorstanding loudspeaker.

The Acoustic Energy AE320 speakers have a very polite and neat appearance that leads one to believe that they are yet another effete English design for violin lovers ... however let them rip with a decently powerful amplifier and they are fast and furious with hard rock and roll, they don't hold back and at the same time, the brittle treble quality that characterises the West Atlantic continent designs is completely absent from these loudspeakers.

The reference speaker of the Silver 7G range by Monitor Audio. Big and boisterous capable of filling the largest rooms with a full involving sound. For smaller rooms as well, this speaker has bass for days and is a fun, expressive speaker.

Clarity on the 500s are not lost. The metal dome tweeter has been improved with changes to the waveguide surrounding it. The main drivers have also undergone some changes resulting in a tighter, more precise sound.

From the 6th generation to the 6th generation, the finishes on the 500s has been updated seeing more of a natural quality and the addition of a satin white and gloss black as well. We also have easy access to the full colour sweep here in Australia which wasn't the case for the 6th generation.

We have a set of these new Legend Acoustic speakers on our shelves. Designed and manufactured in Australia by Rod Crawford, former head speaker designer for Linn Acoustics. Like all of Rod speakers, they emphasise clarity and purity of musical reproduction. There's no colouration allowed in the signal path here...in fact colouration is a bad word to say in Rod's presence.

The flat frequency response graph of these Tripos is something that other, larger speaker manufacturers can only admire.

Legend acoustics is the epitome of boutique australian loudspeaker design.

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.

These 2 way extreme speakers deliver an incredibly dynamic and effortless performance. Utilising commercial cinema technology, the Pix are capable of producing high sound pressure levels with pristine fidelity and extremely low distortion.

The Italian speaker manufacturer, Sonus Faber, are renowned for making highend speakers like the imposing Aida II. Bespoke, beautiful and made with incredible attention to detail.

Lumina III however forms part of their new Entry Level offerings. Sonus Faber have had the Venere and the Principia Entry Level ranges in the past but notably, all of those speakers were made in a Chinese factory. The Lumina are made in their Italian factory next to their Highend siblings and straight out of the box they look more like the Olympica Nova or the Reference range than the Principia or Venere. The lovely front baffle looks like a thin version of their multilayered wood design used on the higher models and the leather wrap on the rest of the cabinet, is a nice touch for those of us who love their leather! 

They also have a the same Damped Apex Tweeter used on the Sonetto range which really gives these speakers "The Voice of Sonus Faber' more than any of the previous Entry Level iterations. 

And that Voice is rich and full. Of course, not as detailed as precise or refined as the more expensive models but they sound and look quintessentially Sonus Faber. 

All of this comes in a neat Living Room friendly package as well. That's super slim and compact. 

For this reason and their competitive price point, they're a winner!

A dedicated Home Theatre Subwoofer with a new 15" carbon and glass fibre driver.

Its powerful 1000W D class amplifier is perfect for big hitting cinematic sound effects.

It can be made wireless very easily by adding a HT-Air wireless module.

We're really excited by this new offering by SVS - A powerful subwoofer to hide away within a wall including a matching amplifier.

We get many enquiries regarding this sort of product but others out there only offer a piecemeal solution where one has to source a separate amplifier and build your own casing. 

For sure, it is still easier to install these as part of a bigger renovation or building project. But this is a simpler, workable system that will work in a variety of situations and be powerful enough to give a beefy Home Theatre experience.

Once upon a time there was a very particular speaker designed for the BBC by a certain Mr Dudley Harwood ... this was intended to maximise the resolution of the music source in order to enable as much of the signal to be revealed as possible. These Spendors are the lineal technology descendant of those original BBC monitors and are so absolutely handsome when you take them out of their box that you want them to marry into the family. If you do take them home you will find them unfailingly polite but absolutely demanding of source and amplification.

This is an unusual and rare offering! 

The Big Red loudspeakers are some of the most respected, highly lauded Australian made loudspeakers available in the market today. They are the reference set of loudspeakers from Rod Crawford at Legend Acoustics.

Normally they retail for $10K but normally they are an active set of speakers with built-in amplifiers. These particular units, however, have been modified to be passive and to work with a whole slew of separate amplifiers.

They are the height of definition, precision and tonal control going for a very reasonable $4K!

Most people who buy Big Reds keep them for a lifetime. Rarely do any come on the secondhand market and certainly not in this passive configuration.

They do not come with their boxes and shipping long distances interstate unfortunately won't be possible for these beauties. However talk to us if you live in NSW. Sometimes we travel up the Hume for deliveries, we could potentially work something out. That goes for rural VIC as well.

Inspection and a listen is most welcome in our Lygon st showroom!

Chest-thumping slam and low frequency extension below the threshold of human hearing, with refined musicality – a level of subwoofer performance not seen at this price before. The SB-4000 subwoofer’s sophisticated DSP amplifier, innovative driver and a sealed box design master room gain and command a space with deeper bass and higher output levels than what is typically possible from a subwoofer of its size. An ideal option for reference quality bass in audiophile music or home theater systems, the SB-4000 sets all performance benchmarks for a subwoofer and leaves larger and more expensive subs trembling in its wake.

These are an underestimated set of speakers. Quaint and petite, they offer exacting detail and clarity unrivaled by other speakers in this price bracket.

Completely made in the UK, Spendor are an established speaker manufacturer but often not as well known. Spendor actually supply many parts to other speaker brands like PMC and Rega Speakers. For industry insiders, Spendors are the speakers of choice.

A new small floorstanding loudspeaker from Spendor representing entry level cost but typical very high performance and build quality that only UK built loudspeakers tend to have.

The new Spendor A-Line loudspeakers deliver class leading performance. They are the most adaptable and affordable loudspeakers we have ever created.

These are a newcomers to our store and newcomers to the industry. A big, beefy, nostalgic kind of sound. Giving a relaxed laid back listening experience.

They are another speaker like the Klipsch Heritage and the Spendor Classics doing a Retro look speaker but these ones are very competively priced and also encapsulate the 'retro' sound as well.

On demonstration at Carlton Audio Visual now.

Their matching stands are $775 for the pair.

Chest-thumping slam and low frequency extension below the threshold of human hearing, with refined musicality – a level of subwoofer performance not seen at this price before. The SB-4000 subwoofer’s sophisticated DSP amplifier, innovative driver and a sealed box design master room gain and command a space with deeper bass and higher output levels than what is typically possible from a subwoofer of its size. An ideal option for reference quality bass in audiophile music or home theater systems, the SB-4000 sets all performance benchmarks for a subwoofer and leaves larger and more expensive subs trembling in its wake.

If you're after exceptional sound quality for a fraction of the cost, then these are for you.

There is damage to these speakers, hence the price. Take a look at the pictures of the units in the images. It is only superficial damage and does not affect the sound quality at all.

On the face of it, the new Contour range from Dynaudio looks very similar to the old range and in alot of ways they are. But why wouldn't they want to be? The Contour range has been extraordinarily popular and a hallmark of craftsmanship and musicality.

All of that is evident in the new series but there are things under the hood that have changed. Most notably the upgraded tweeter that has a larger rear chamber delivering better damping and therefore a cleaner sound and an even flatter frequency response.

Pair these with an amplifier with considerable juice and grit - we'd suggest trying a Rega Aethos or a Musical Fidelity M6si - and you've got a seriously good system that will make the toughest audiophiles swoon.

REL's completely rebuilt S series Subwoofer. With a 10" active driver and a 12" passive driver. The 10" driver has been redesigned and can handle the added power of the new amplifiers.

The REL engineers were worried that the added pressure of all the extra power from the amplifiers would deform the cone under load. They've added extra carbon fibre behind the cone to stabilise the structure and to dampen it reducing distortions.

Because of these new drivers and amplifier modules, this little guy is actually capable of producing lower frequencies than its predecessor, the S/3 SHO and outperforms the S/5 SHO in terms of dynamics, volume and intensity!

It also has this cool feature of daisy chaining subwoofers together so you can stack as many as you'd like on top of themselves...ultimate subwoofer upgrade capabilities!!

The Kantu 14 loudspeakers are elegant, world-class instruments designed and built in Australia to give you maximum enjoyment when you listen to your music or watch home movies. 

Probably the most tonally correct speaker we have in our range. Dr Rod Crawford who designs these is meticulous with his speaker design. He's been a top speaker designer with leading 'big brand' manufacturers for years and has brought his passion and experience to his own boutique brand of speaker made here in Australia.

The Kantu 14 only differs from the 12 in that the mid range 3" ceramic coated driver has been replaced by a 4" ceramic coated driver. These ceramic coated drivers merge the best of the detail of a metal dome tweeter and a softer ceramic coating for warmth and delicacy.

In Rod's own words the 14 is very similar to the 12 and the change was necessitated by manufacturer changes. The midrange is ever so slightly bigger sounding but the tonality and all other metrics remain the same.

Rod listens to and adjusts every crossover to make sure it's perfectly accurate and to make sure your speakers are as good if not better than the last set.

Because they're made and designed in Australia, they are exceptional value as well.

A truly remarkable speaker. Must be listened to!

They are also available as a upgraded "Be" model with even better speaker drivers and cross-over for $6990
