Available in black, white and striking red the Focal Dome 5.1 speaker package is creating quite a stir in store.

Priced at £1500.00 it comprises of 5 satellite speakers and an active subwoofer. The small table stands you can see in the image to the right can be rotated to act as wall brackets (or even ceiling brackets) and are incredibly flexible.

They look incredibly stylish, have performance to match and don’t cost the earth. If you are thinking of some high performance, but compact speakers for surround sound you can’t go far wrong with these at this sort of price point.

PMC IB2i Coming Soon……..

PMC IB2i Speakers

We are eagerly awaiting the delivery of the PMC IB2i speakers for demonstration.

We had a loan of a pair for a short period of time and we decided we simply couldn’t live without them.

They stirred up a tremendous amount of interest with our regular customers (several people are patiently waiting for their speakers as I type this!!).

Simply stunning  with amazing life like dynamics, serious subtlety when required with the ability to really rattle the windows!

Effortless and visceral are 2 of the most appropriate words to describe what these speakers are like.

£10,700 a pair and at this price they represent serious value for money.

We’ll let everyone know once our demo pair are with us

Rega RP3 Turntable

The new Rega RP3 turntable is now on demonstration, replacing the very popular outgoing P3-24.

Priced at £475.00 (just add a cartridge) or at £549.00 with an Elys 2 (this works out £40.00 cheaper than buying them separately).

So what’s different?

Quite a bit actually, it has a brand new tonearm, the RB303 which is slimmer and more rigid than its predecessor, the plinth is lighter and you have the benefit of the bracing you can see on the image to the right.

Monitor Audio GX Range starting to appear

Monitor Audio GX Range

The new GX series of speakers from Monitor Audio are starting to filter. The GX range are replacing the GS range.

Aesthetically the new speakers looking stunning, they’ve had a nip and a tuck compared to GS, the fit and finish is very good indeed. From a performance aspect they’ve upped their game to, they are fast dynamic, detailed, musical, easy to listen to.

So far we’ve taken in the GX50 and GX100 stand mounts and the smaller of the 2 centre speakers, the GXC150, the other items will be following soon.

Why not arrange a demonstration, we’re confident you will be suitably impressed by this new range of speakers!

Musical Fidelity CLiC Music Streamer Now On Demonstration….

Musical Fidelity CLiC Streamer

We’ve had the Musical Fidelity CLiC Music Streamer on demonstration for just over a week now and we have been really impressed by the level of performance on offer.

It offers 7 digital inputs (including 2 x USB, Ethernet and conventional coaxial/optical), 3 analogue inputs (yes they still exist!), Internet Radio, proper iPod connectivity which bypasses the iPod’s DAC.

If has a built in pre-amp, which you can bypass if you don’t need it.

The level of performance is easily on par with the Musical Fidelity M1 DAC, which is no bad thing in itself. We’ve been using it in store hard wired into our network streaming uncompressed music from our NAS drive, it’s easy to use, even easier to set up, the screen is excellent – all we need is app for iPad/iPhone control!

The price? £1299.00, good value indeed.

Musical Fidelity CDT Transport

We’ve also taken delivery of the new Musical Fidelity CDT Transport, priced at £599.00 it is designed to match with the other M1 components (you could use it with both the CLiC or the M1 DAC).

Connected to the CLiC it works flawlessly, if you are thinking of a new streaming system but are not quite ready to ditch CD yet, a CLiC and CDT together make perfect sense!
