PROPOSED AUDIO SOLUTIONS
We are providing several solutions based on the listening space and overall use of the room. Many of our customers utilize video as integral part of the specific room. However, here, we will present audio solutions only and according to the volume/area covered, type of music mostly listened and budgets. In all cases, the systems proposed are reference level and compete effectively against components with significantly higher cost. In all cases the principles followed are the following:
- Accuracy in reproducing the original recording. While excellent recordings will be reproduced outstandingly, poor recordings will show the shortcomings and need to be enjoyed for the music they contain. The assessment is done with records of varying eras, record labels, varying cutting speeds and equalization. Also, many records have been used that have specified the recording details, so we can examine placement in space (soundstage).
- System Compatibility. All components proposed have been well tested together in multiple genres and have been able to provide excellent sound results at various sound levels and room sizes. All frequencies, within the specifications outlined, are reproduced properly with no exaggerations for euphoric results. The components tested and those compared include many brands that we have no commercial affiliation. However, our goal is to provide matched systems that clearly outperform the majority of systems at double the proposed budget. Each proposal includes cabling as well.
- Faithfulness to Instrument Characteristics. It is important that the instruments are fully audible and fully identifiable. We expect that in a good recording the experienced listener to be able to identify the brand of instruments used in its acoustic form, their sonic characteristics, specific voicing, and size.
- Live Experience. Playbacks of a good recording sound provide in the studio experience. The listener should be able to feel part of the venue and music should fill the room independent of the traditional sweet spot.
- Room Friendly. The system should not, unless intended, overpower the decor or character of a room. It should be able to stand in any architectural design without any space intrusion.
Concluding, the proposed systems are all reference material plus, being together or stand alone. All are handmade, limited production and exclusive to those having the musical inclination and the financial means to obtain them. The entry level system is at approximately 35 thousand Euro and it includes turntable (Simon Yorke Designs S9), integrated amplifier (Vitus Audio Reference Series RI 100 with phono), loudspeakers (German Physiks HRS 120 with Titanium DDD) and cabling (FM Acoustics and German Physiks).
