The Kefs are here plus more goodies

/

Just come into stock today are the brand new Anniversary Edition KEF LS50's, with a pair in our stereo demonstration room sounding awesome. These small speakers seem to defy logic by delivering a performance of detail and warmth more akin to much larger and more expensive speakers. Beautifully designed and finished in a gloss black cabinet and a rose gold driver array, these little speakers both look and sound fantastic and are definitely worth serious consideration. Phone us to arrange a demonstration, a must hear the next time you pop in.

Also arrived today is the new Naim Uniti 2 in our stereo demonstration room and not disappointing, delivering all that we are used to Naim products delivering with the finesse that we have come to expect from this UK based company.

KEF LS50

KEF is marking its 50th anniversary year with the release of a special edition LS50 mini monitor speaker derived from the legendary LS3/5a used by the BBC in the 1960s.

Designed to bring the "professional studio monitor concept into the home", the KEF LS50 Anniversary will sell for £800 a pair.

They incorporate technology from KEF's flagship Blade speaker and use a KEF Uni-Q drive array.

The cabinet features constrained layer damping to reduce resonances, while the baffe shape has been optimised for smooth on- and off-axis dispersion. And the Uni-Q driver uses a damped Mg/Al alloy metal low/mid frequency cone and a rear-vented high frequency unit.

KEF says its R&D team was given a free hand to build the best small enclosure it could, regardless of the usual industrial design constraints. The KEF LS50 Anniversary model is finished in gloss black with a rose gold Uni-Q driver. It's available now.

Projection based complete Home Cinema for less than a price of a TV?

/

Q. Is it possible to have a complete projection based Home Cinema experience without breaking the bank?

A. Yes it is and we can show you how!

Mention a projector to people and they think about dim grainy images they might have seen in the local pub or boardroom. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Projectors have come on leaps and bounds in recent years and with prices falling, a high quality High Definition home cinema projector is now something which many people can afford. Most people don't realise that an 8ft wide 92" diagonal image is available for less than £2000 which includes a projector AND electric screen. Try getting that size image with a flat panel TV and you could expect to pay more than twice that price.

In fact, it is now possible to have a projection based Home Cinema system - complete with a 3D Projector, 7ft wide Electric drop down screen,  AV Amplifier, 5.1 Surround sound speaker package, 3D Blu-Ray player, 50m of speaker cable and HDMI cable, all for less than £4000!

So for less than £4k, you could have a fully fledged Home Cinema system or just a single 65'' 'telly' for the same money.

Many of our customers go for both options. A smaller high quality TV for normal casual viewing and a projector for big sports events and movies.

Please call us on 01277 264730 with your requirements and we will show you what can be achieved within your budget. Or better still, come in and we will show you what can be achieved. You may be VERY suprised...

Anthem MRX500 A/V Receiver demonstrations available in store

/

We have now received our new Anthem MRX500 receiver! Anthem is a Canadian company that focuses on sound quality rather than a long feature list and it shows on the MRX500 model. Key to Anthem is their own ARC room correction facility.

ARC analyzes each speaker’s in-room response then sets output levels, crossover frequencies and room correction parameters for each one. The receiver comes with a calibrated microphone and pc software which we used in our room to set it up. Basic set up without using the microphone can also be done.

Result ? Absolutely fantastic sound quality from the receiver when used with Kef R Series speakers. The receiver is VERY conservatively rated at 100w per channel. Don't let that put you off. This receiver has more 'real' power than the competition as proved to us when we put the KEF R Series speakers on the end of it.

The Anthem MRX500 has 4 HDMI inputs and will also handle 3D sources with ease. Internet radio and the ability to play music from a usb or flash drive is also onboard. The receiver also comes with a 3 year warranty.

Currently we are running the MRX500 in our Home Cinema demonstration room with the Kef R Series speaker package in a 7.1 configuration with a Velodyne SPL1200 subwoofer. Source components include Pioneer BDP LX55 and Panasonic BDT320 blue ray players. The Anthem MRX500 is supplying the image to an Optoma projector.

Kef speakers include the following :

Kef R700 for Left/Right duties
Kef R200 Centre speaker
Kef R500 Surround Speakers
Kef R100 Back Surround speakers

Please contact us 01277 264730 if you fancy a demonstration of this awesome receiver!

 

 

Optoma HD33 Projector now in store!

/

We have had a JVC projector for quite a while now in the demo room. We have now installed the multi award winning Optoma HD33 projector as well.

Initial impressions are very good (excellent in fact!) with both 2D and 3D sources. The projector is brighter than the JVC model and this means that it can still give a good image in ambient light conditions. The projector has no lens shift, however if it is positioned with the right ceiling mount then that will not be an issue. Currently Optoma are offering two extra 3D glasses with the HD33 until 31st July. So you get 3 pairs of 3D glasses in total.

Features include 2 HDMI 1.4a inputs, 1080p Picture quality, 3D and it is also whisper quiet in operation.

Customers who have seen this projector in action are astonished at what the newer projectors can deliver in terms of picture quality with both blue ray and even standard dvd!

We have the Optoma firing the image onto a 7ft wide 16:9 ratio fixed frame screen in our demonstration room. Please ring 01277 264730 to book a demonstration and we'll show you what can be achieved.

Kind comments from one of our customers:

/

Here is a message we had sent to head office by a Mr Trebilcock from Salisbury:

" Over the last few weeks, I've spent quite a lot of money at your Swindon shop ( mostly on a set of gougeous Monitor Audio speakers ). This has been entirely a result of the excellent service given by Andy and Phil. They've been very helpful, and it's been a pleasure to deal with them. Thanks, guys! "

Thank you Mr Trebilcock.

I hope your Monitor Audio speaker package it running in nicely.

Phil.

It's Here! Naim's New NAC-N 172 XS

/

NAC-N 172 XS Pre Amplifier

The best of both worlds
The NAC-N 172 XS defines a point at which worlds collide – the traditional world of separate pre and power amplifiers, and the new world of network streaming. It's a conventional preamplifier, perfectly at home in a Naim separates environment where, partnered by a Naim NAP 155 XS power amplifier perhaps, it can reproduce music from CD or vinyl in a way that stirs the soul and quickens the pulse. But the NAC-N 172 XS also opens the door onto the new sphere of high resolution audio, internet radio and streamed music. It's a sphere that has just the same soul stirring potential as conventional audio sources, but that's effectively limitless in scope and content.
