  • Monitor Audio Hyphn ... state of art loudspeaker

    Every once in a while one of our brands puts their best foot forward and proffers a design exercise of the level of a McLaren F1 or similar from the car world. These particular speakers are from that same school of engineering innovation that produced the Avro Vulcan and the GMA T50 but are actually far more useful ... and affordable ...

    This is the gauntlet Monitor Audio are throwing down to the rest of the industry. A radical rethink of how a loudspeaker can be made so as to be a truly livable high end product.

    The first time I played them with my all too familiar Johnny Cash "Hurt", I immediately recognised an extra layer of revealed detail in the upper registers. However the Hyphn can do this without being piercingly actinic like so many high end loudspeaker designs. Mr Cash simply was eloquently melancholic in a heart rending rendition of an all too familiar tune.

    They are also comfortable in a real domestic environment without the listeners being forced into a super critical centrality to experience the whole performance. Many very high performance transducers are extremely critical of listening position and acoustic space, these are designed for a real living room, albeit probably rather a nice one.

  • Sonus faber Il Cremonese Ex3me

    Quintessential physical beauty in a loudspeaker ... not for the faint hearted. For most of us this would represent a large portion of our income that if we were sensible would be spent on property , or a new car, or maybe a kitchen renovation. Sadly none of those would make one as happy as the music generated by a system with a pair of Il Cremonese Ex3me loudspeakers.

  • Sonus Faber Amati G5 ... Italian floorstanding loudspeaker supremos

    This fifth generation iteration of the Amati Homage loudspeaker is now on demonstration at Carlton Audio Visual. They are named after the 16th Italian luthier, Andrea Amati, who was the first in a long lineage of celebrated Cremonese violin makers including Antonio Stradivari.

    Like the best violins of that era, the sound of an Amati speaker has always been rich, vibrant and brilliant yet can deliver details at an almost imperceptible whisper changing between the two effortlessly.

    It is so hard for a speaker to recreate the sound of a Violin accurately. Vibrato and the lower harmonics in the sound can so easily be lost leaving a glassy sound to the treble and losing the soul of the music. As a professional string player, I still feel that Sonus Faber Reference and Homage series do this better than any other loudspeaker I've heard (I have heard many loudspeakers!) 

    One of my reference CDs is Richard Tognetti playing the Bach solo partitas on a 1743 Guarneri violin and yes that's another Cremonese Violin maker. On these speakers, suddenly you can tell he's playing one of the best instruments in the world.

    It is possible that these are the most long term listenable of any high end loudspeaker. The vision of Sonus faber is to deliver the music but to avoid that analytical coldness that so many of the highly revealing ultra high end transducer brands are designed with in order to make a quick sale in a competitive demonstration situation. With the Homage series on the other hand it is possible to have a long term musical relationship with the loudspeaker where the romance dosn't fade ....

  • Fyne Vintage Ten … timeless dual concentric beauty

    To see this in its sheer walnut solidity is to be inexorably struck by the beautiful hand crafted physicality of the thing. A remarkable exercise in style and design of high end audio technology.

    Sonically this loudspeaker has some very different properties ... it has extreme midrange presence with detail and realism that presents the performance that is directly injected into ones forebrain. The bass is deep and deeper.

    Playing Adele 25 she is fully projected into the room with an almost visible intensity and when the bass comes in it will make the earth move for you just a little bit.

  • Dynaudio Confidence 60, EX-DEMO, Ruby Wood

    Seeing these for the first time was a bit like that occasion when I was at a party outside of my normal social strata of hippy and bikerdom and the six foot 2 inch Supermodel comes into the room. One is momentarily stunned.
    Wheras a Sonus faber Aida evokes a sense of primal wonder at the wooden waveforms embedded in their design, the Dynaudio Confidence 60 is like that graceful alien shape that comes amongst us as a creature of grace and purity. Better than us, more evolved and refined than the merely squalid mortal transducer instruments that the multitude of humanity must settle for.

    They sound like that too ... I do not honestly believe that there is a loudspeaker that is more measured and true in its presentation. These are not a simple product a the end of along chain of development. The Confidence 60 is a loudspeaker that misses nothing and adds nothing. It is musical truth in its purest exponent and needs to be listened to if you want to know what those who come after us will be playing their music on ....

  • Dynaudio Confidence 50 EX-DEMO, Blonde

    This is quite simply one of the best loudspeakers in the world ... for technical accuracy and musical truth wothout glare and fatigue these are exceptional

    The all-new Confidence 50 stands shoulder-to-shoulder (or baffle-to-baffle) in height with the Confidence C4 – the previous flagship of the range.

    For many they are the perfect size in the Confidence range. An expansive sounding floorstander which is still fast and nimble.

    Like that legendary speaker, it’s a three-way design with twin woofers and twin midrange drivers. It’s stunningly constructed. Stunningly finished. And a stunning performer. It uses DDC (Dynaudio Directivity Control) technology to form a sound ‘beam’ that avoids reflections from floors and ceilings. And it features an Esotar tweeter and MSP woofers.

    But it takes all of this – every single component – to a new level of performance.

    Come in for a demonstration and inspection today.

  • Spendor Classic 200 Speakers

    A New Trade-in deal for all Spendor speakers. 20% off with a Trade-in on ANY set of speakers. This is limited to what is in stock in Australia right now. Contact to make sure we have your model and colour of Spendor.

    I fell in love with these as soon as I saw them at the Munich Hi Fi Snow and was unfortunately caught by the Australian distributor in a compromising position with them in the rather dark room ...

    This is the largest loudspeaker Spendor have ever produced. Employing 2 of their famous 12" bass units as used in the SP100 in each enclosure allowing incredible effortlessness in the bass. If size isn't an issue I would be ordering a pair of these and spending the rest of your life enjoying music knowing you will not find an easier, bigger sounding loudspeaker anywhere.

  • Sonus faber Maxima Amator ... beauty incarnate

    Are these the most beautiful loudspeakers in the world? Quite possibly. 

    The Maxima Amator is a stupefying synergy of solid wood and marble impossibly crafted into an exquisite sculpture.

    Both wildly beautiful and understated with its simple, clean lines, this handmade Italian two-way tower is a feast for all of the senses.

    This was a project long considered by Sonus faber, a floorstanding two-way made from a solid wood enclosure only made possible through modern CNC technology–all affixed to a one-of-a-kind Italian marble bass.

    Possessing a small footprint but a huge sound, the Amator Maxima transmits the warmth and hope of your favorite music.

  • Krix MX-30 System

    We have this set up as an Atmos reference system in one of our buildings and, though I say so myself, we have done some absolutely fabulous work in Melbourne and Victorian homes with this system.

    Designed for larger dedicated home cinemas with an acoustically transparent screen, the MX-30 will deliver your favourite movie soundtracks with supreme definition and accuracy, right through the picture and into your seat. Larger bass drivers and compression high frequency drivers provide an extended frequency response at higher sound pressure levels.

  • Monitor Audio Platinum PL300 loudspeaker

    These are the latest iteration of this big no compromise UK design. The outstanding characteristics of this speaker are the immense delicacy of the treble nature along with the massive attack offered by the exceptional bass drivers. The original Platinum 300 is still in use by many of our clients and is really hard to get a positive upgrade of. The third generation retains all those virtues of air and space with thunder but has refined and deepened the musical portrayal.

    A speaker to die for ...

  • Yamaha NS-5000 speakers ... classical gas

    Available to audition in their own Lygon st Showroom. These are a speaker of remarkable presence and beauty. They are highly capable of presenting the music in a natural and completely unfettered manner. Properly powered it doesn't matter what the volume is, they retain their particular quality at low volume and can very nearly do PA type sound pressure levels while remaining tonally consistent throughout. A remarkable performance envelope.

    I fell in love with the spiritual and physical precursor to this speaker being the NS1000 of the 1980's, indeed I still have clients from that era who bought those speakers back then from me and feed them a diet of new amplification and sources every 15 years or so. These NS5000 speakers are better, like a new Lexus is better than my old Corolla.
