Bluesound describe this as another compact speaker. It is however bigger than the Pulse Flex2i and therefore offers more grunt and volume for listeners. Deeper bass notes and more sound in general terms.

On Special for Black Friday ending on the 27th of November or when stocks run-out. 

At first glance, it’s easy to underestimate the abilities of the SB-1000 Pro subwoofer. But when it erupts to life with deep and hard-hitting low frequency output, there’s no mistaking it as a bona fide, high performance subwoofer.

The new Pro version includes the DSP app for tuning your subwoofer to perfection.

Monitor Audio are continually updating their speakers and making discernible improvements to the sound and finish of their products.

Their latest refresh sees a new slant on the ever popular Silver range. An updated mid/bass driver and wave guide on the tweeter are the major improvements to the sound. But the apple is not falling far from the tree. For those who have always loved the sound of the silver range, you won't be shocked by drastic changes in the core sound. Simply slight improvements in clarity and presentation.

The same goes for the finish of the cabinets. There are changes to the colours. The walnut is richer and less red. I think it looks more natural. We also see the wide spread availability of the White and Ash (likened to the old natural Oak) finishes in Australia as well as a Gloss Black and an Oak Black finish.

A real sleeper in the marketplace. One Saturday morning recently we happened to leave a pair of these running in stereo with Adele playing through them and three groups of people bought them one after the other in a kind of Hi Fi feeding frenzy. They hadn't intended to buy loudspeakers but they were caught up by the energy and presence that the Acoustix are able to portray.

Their secret is the D'Appolito configuration with large motor to cabinet ratio and an excellent tweeter with a cabinet that is immensely solid.

Once when I was visiting the Krix factory in South Australia they demonstrated the cabinet integrity of the Acoustix by taking one off the production line and asking the nastiest largest Bikiest individual there to destroy it. Well Roy jumped on it, sledgehammerd it, threw it to the ground, dropped it out of a third story window onto concrete and really went for it with quite disconcerting violence.

Unlike Mr Musk and the Tesla Cybertruck windows the Acoustix came out of this encounter unscathed except for surface and corner damage ....

Oh, and they sound damn good too. They have is rhythm, pace and slam that a speaker on a stand has no right to be able to produce. The Acoustix Mk2 is simply toe tapping fun. $1675 in a real wood veneer, or save a few dollars with black vinyl wrap at $1395.

From the multi award winners, Fyne, out of Scotland, these are a delicate yet warm sound speaker that will work well in a range of different spaces. The new 'i' version takes things to the next level introducing a brand new titanium tweeter and an upgraded crossover.

This delivers more detail and 'tightness' to the sound.

If you like punch energy and serious bass in your Subwoofers, you can't go past the Seismix 3 Mk7 from Australian manufacturer, Krix.

They match perfectly with all of the Krix line of speakers but no need to limit these to just Krix speakers. Pair these with any good quality speakers though and your bass will jump into life.

The Seismix 3 Mk7s are particularly good at home theatre driving a lot of energy into a room for a cinematic experience.

$1395 for a Black vinyl wrap, $1745 for a real wood finish of Jarrah or Blackwood.

Now in a revised walnut finish with an improved space and soundstaging. The AE109.2 is a successful upgrade to the previous model. In addition to drive unit revisions there is a very high density MDF used in the cabinetry that has allowed a thirty percent increase in internal volume while the whole speaker is only fifteen per cent larger.

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.

Mobius series panels are designed to be completely plastered overed or covered by wood, leather even high pressure laminate. They are more flexible in their application than the Edge Series of Amina speakers but designed around the same principles.

As with the Edge series prices start from $1499 and there are different products in the series. Call us for more information...or

The perfect subwoofer to pair with a small set of bookshelves to discreetly blend into your room decor. We wouldn't be pairing this little guy with large floorstanders but Bookshelf speakers are its natural home. Filing out bass and bringing out more of the mid range with a musical consistency are what give RELs the standout Carlton Audio Visual tick of approval. 

Stay away from the 'doof, doof' sound of 20 somethings doing Chap Laps on a friday night and revel in the clarity and consistency of the frequency range blending bass into treble seemlessly...unless of course you love the doof, then buy a Krix Subwoofer...

A neat cube with it's simple single downward firing 8" woofer, it doesn't give itself away with a grill on the sides. New curved sides look elegant and hide the fact that this model is larger than the outgoing T5i, able to play that much lower as well.

This is the power series in the Rel range where you get a lot of spl for the dollar ...

The new MkII version adds a new 300W D class power amplifier and a new carbonglass 10" driver. Delivering twice the volume as the original version this is sure to shatter some bones.

The original was already good, now Rel have upped the ante
