With our recent Focal and Devialet event this month, you’ve probably already guessed that we’re now a full Devialet Systems Dealer. We’re proud to be Portland’s Devialet dealer, and look forward to showing off their beautiful looking and sounding systems! Whether they’re powering a nice set of bookshelf speakers in our bamboo room, or our large Focal Scala’s upstairs, the Devialet audio system can handle whatever you throw at it with ease and grace. Read more about their gorgeous electronics here. Their remote alone is lust worthy enough, just wait until you see the main unit itself, and hear how it sounds! (more…)

This new product will provide a much needed tool in your arsenal to seamlessly blend your great JL Audio Fathom, Gotham or E-Sub into your main speaker system. You can read more information here at this review. (reviewed last June, but just now available in April). More information to come!

Spender has always been a well regarded British loudspeaker company, but with the new Spender D7 speakers, they’ve really hit their stride! Great precision, detail and dynamics, these babies can really sing! All of the great hallmark Spender sound, but the D7s come with a load of excitement as well. This comes partly due to the LPZ tweeter with it’s unique and beautiful Stainless Steel front plate. These tweeters add lots of detail, but still blend well with the whole. The Spender A9, A6, and SP2s have been well reviewed and liked, but the D7s top them all. (more…)

Stereotypes Audio of Portland, Oregon is pleased to announce the arrival of the Focal Utopia III line with the addition of the Scala V2 floorstand speakers! We’ve added these to the Diablo’s we already have on our showroom floor. We’re in the process of breaking in these beautiful giants, and we can’t wait to have you give them a listen! The three-way floor standing loudspeaker Scala V2 is an improvement over the previous well received Scala’s, and are the benefactor of ‘trickle down’ from Focal’s top of the line Grande Utopia and Stella Utopia speakers. The new bass unit provides more power and grip, while retaining the lush mid-range, creating a focused and gorgeous soundstage. The Scala’s feature their Beryllium tweeter, Power Flower midrange W driver , 11″ W woofer, and OPC+ filtering with adjustable bass and treble levels. Made entirely in France with all Focal JM Lab tech and build from the ground up, the beauties weigh 187lb each and stand 49″ tall, and are highly efficient at 92dB, capable of some truly amazing SPLs, while retaining a lush natural musical performance. Read the reviews here, here and here (pdf). Come in soon to give these amazing reference level speakers a listen!

The only place in Portland to find PSB, is proud to carry the new 100 line of Subwoofers from PSB. They make a great match to the Alpha series, as well as many of our other PSB speakers. Tiny in size, but not in sound, it’s a great choice for the space and budget conscience. Read an early review here.

We’ve just gotten in the brand new Cambridge Audio Minx Xi. At first glance, this may just look like another network music streamer. But it’s so much more than that. Besides network music streaming, it also boasts a 40w per channel integrated amp, making this a very compact and sophisticated small system when combined with compact bookshelf speakers (like our PSB Imagine Minis). We’ve got a white one on our floor ready to audition. (more…)

The wonderful and amazing Simaudio 700i Integrated Amplifier is on our floor in all black and ready to demo. We’ve all loved the 600i ever since we got it broken in awhile back (which we still have on our floor for demo). The 700i is the next step better. (think of it as “well, our amps go to 11”). We got it in on Simaudio’s wonderful ‘Reach for the Moon’ trade up program, and are excited to give folks a chance to hear this great Integrated Amp! This is one of the best Integrated Amplifiers on the market, with many reviewers stating that ‘this is as close to separates as you can get in an integrated.” We also have a full line up of Simaudio products right now, including their top DACs, Separates, as well as some of their more affordable phono stages and DACs. We also have a few of the new Neo products in. You could say our ‘Moon is full’ right now. Reviews of the 700i here, here,and here.
