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.

We’ve just gotten in the brand brand new ProAc D30R floor stander speakers, and these things are beauties. We’re still breaking them in, so you may have to wait until Sept 1 to hear them, but these things are going to be AMAZING! We also just got in a new pair of Focal 1028Be floor standing speakers that are equally gorgeous. (and yes, still breaking those in as well. Patience grasshopper. Patience). If you heard there larger 1038 Be sibling speakers we had in earlier this year, you know just how special this speaker line is. We also have a slew of other great new products, including several new pieces from Naim, like the new SuperNait. We also have the previously mentioned DAC V1.

Welcome the new Harbeth 30.1’s!  We now have these beautiful speakers ready for audition.  Pick a couple of your favorite CD’s and stop by today.

“The original Monitor 30 was developed in 1997 as a replacement for the LS5/9 BBC studio loudspeaker and has a well-rounded sound which has made this model the longest running Harbeth success. Compared with its big brother Monitor 40.1, the cabinet is only about half the height and a quarter the volume – yet the Monitor 30.1 achieves effortless clarity throughout the midrange with a well controlled bass that brings music to life in a wide range of listening environments.

The upgraded Monitor 30.1 has been produced in 2012, Harbeth’s 35th anniversary year. It features the RADIAL2™ mid/bass drive unit from the flagship M40.1, a newly refined SEAS tweeter and a redesigned crossover made possible thanks to advances in engineering simulation technology. These changes have resulted in a more open sound, a smoother response with wider, more even dispersion which means more flexibility over stand height and an enhanced listener experience than its highly regarded predecessor even off axis.”

Check out the new Chord Qute PCM/DSD DAC that we have here and set up for audition! It sounds really beautiful. It’s a stripped down version of their highly regarded more expensive DAC. While obviously not as featured as the top end DAC , it has nearly all of the beautiful performance/sound of their top end DAC, utilizing their same proprietary DAC from the higher priced DAC. It does 24/192, DSD, and even 32/384 for those file formats starting to trickle out. Toslink, Asynchronous USB, and COAX digital, with unbalanced RCA stereo out. It also comes in a really cool and unique machined case. You can read any/all of the rave reviews here, here, here and here.
