Audio Research DSi200 Integrated Amplifier. Give it a listen. Really.
Many audio folks out there have been skeptical over the years about ‘switching amps’ or ‘class D’ type amps. Times have changed. We’ve now heard several very good switching amps, including the Devialet integrated unit we had a loan for awhile. But one of our favorite new Integrated amplifiers is the Audio Research DSi200. When Audio Research does something, they do it right. They always focus on the music. If you haven’t had a chance to hear our production ARC DSi200, it’s time to give it a listen! (We had a pre-prodution unit on loan last year for a month). The character of this Integrated is extremely natural, neutral, fast, and powerful. We’ve now broken in a lot of our new speaker lines with it (Nola, Harbeth, etc.) and we are continually impressed with what this Integrated does with each and every speaker. Review here. If you are in the market for an easy to live with, energy efficient, and extremely natural and musical Integrated (and yet incredibly detailed with a holographic soundstage), then you HAVE to give the DSi200 a listen. It’s that good.

Remember the lust worthy Pioneer Elite Kuro TVs? Well, Elite TV is back and will make you lust again!
When Pioneer exited the High-end TV market, they left a huge void. Sure, prices we’re coming down and some aspects to the TVs out there were getting better, but none had those rich inky blacks that the Elite Kuros had. Well, the Elite TV is back as an LED now, with Pioneer and Sharp working together this time to make the best LED out there. Is it as good as the famous KURO? Yes! It’s even better any many aspects. AND it has all of today’s modern features including 3D. And when it comes to 3D, it’s a top performer with full THX 3D certification. Stereotypes Audio decided to invest in the new 70″ Elite TVs to have one of the best in the business on our demo floor to show case our amazing line of BluRay Universal players and to compliment our great line of Home Theater AVRs and speakers.

Stereotypes Audio of Portland is proud to welcome Nola! Boxers and Contenders are here!
Stereotypes Audio is proud to welcome the well regarded Nola line of speakers to Portland. We have a pair of Boxers and a pair of Contenders that have just arrived! We’ve un-boxed them and after some break in time, we can’t wait to play them for you! Our first listen is already promising! Stop by and give these speakers and audition! The Boxers are bookshelf speakers that are an amazing value for the sound they put out, and the Contenders are a very reasonably priced floorstander. (reasonable, since they offer a taste of what their $58k+ baby flagship speakers offer)
Harbeth Speakers back at Stereotypes; New Compact 7ES-3 in cherry ready to demo!
We’re excited to have the Harbeth Speaker line back in at Stereotypes Audio, and we’re very excited to be among some of the first dealers to have a pair of the brand spankin’ new Harbeth Compact 7ES-3s in stock! These are so new, even most reviewers don’t have their hands on them. And from what we’re hearing here (and from the early reviewers), these speakers are really something special. Harbeth’s are well regarded in the industry of having some of the most natural sound that is just plain true to the music. Read More
New Cambridge Audio DAC Magic Plus is here! (an update to the original)
When Cambridge Audio released the first DAC Magic, it became quite the instant sensation for it’s amazing sound and high value. Since then, the DAC landscape has become increasingly more competitive. To counter this, Cambridge Audio has just unleashed it’s update, the DAC Magic Plus! Adding to an already impressive original release, it now comes with: a reworked USB input that now supports 24-bit transfer for ‘better than CD quality’ playback of digital music files of up to 24/192kH, a dedicated headphone amplifier with headphone control, enchanced Anagram upsampling, a new digital preamp function to connect directly to a power amplifier or powered speakers, and much much more! It is available in both silver and black, and their is an optional BT1000 wireless audio receiver to handle wifi streaming as well, coming soon. Come audition one today! You can read some of the early information here.
Stereotypes Audio is proud to now have LFD of England. We have the LE MkIV Signature Integrated Amp on demo.
Stereotypes Audio of Portland is proud to represent LFD of England, with our first piece, the LE MkIV Signature Integrated Amplifier. LFD takes the view that the quality of the components in a circuit is of more importance that the circuit itself when it comes to determining the overall performance of an audiophile design. They pay particular attention to the casework to help reduce the effects of microphony, and their use of superior parts and additional hand-made silver wiring reduces grain and noticeably improves transparency. Ok, that’s a lot of technical speak, but the real proof is in how it sounds. We’re in the process of breaking it in, but it already sounding quite wonderful. So, come check out this new piece and determine for yourself how this level of attention to detail really DOES make a difference.
Focal XS Book speakers are here. Great for a computer set up and more!
It’s hard to believe that Focal could come out with another simple solution as good as The Bird 2.1 setup, but they’ve released another compact winner! The Focal XS Book is the ultimate computer 2.0 system, a true mini-monitor equipped with Focal speaker technologies and able to reveal the richness and dynamics of your multimedia audio contents. (wow, that was a mouthful, but that’s the best way to put it!) Compact but high-performance, XS Book can also become an active solution around a flat panel, or bring quality sound into a small room once connected to a music player. Read More
