Stunning seismic slimline Sonos SUB

/


An impressive new arrival in our store is the amazing Sonos SUB.  The design breaks with the usual subwoofer conventions, as you can see above, and is housed in a smart gloss black cabinet 38cm wide x 40.2cm high....

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                           ....and is only 15.8cm wide

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                              Two class D digital amplifiers power the two face to face drive units within the central aperture ensuring tightly controlled deep bass whilst cancelling forces to eliminate cabinet vibration.                                                                         

 

 

 

 

 

The new Sonos SUB is the perfect addition to any amplified Sonos component be it Connect Amp, Play 3 or Play 5.  One push of the button is all that is required for set up to add real bass weight and authority to any Sonos zone using these Zone players.

To book your demonstration please phone Alan or John on 02380 252827 or email southampton@audio-t.co.uk.

Good Vibrations...

We've just had our first good listen to the NEW SONOS Wirelss SUB.

It is designed in such a way that the two bass drivers (that face one another) cancel out any un-wanted vibration through the rather nice looking cabinet resulting in nothing but good clean bass.

The wireless SUB is designed to work and seemlessly intergrate with all SONOS amplified products, Such as the PLAY:3, PLAY:5 & CONNECT:AMP.

We are hoping to receive our demo unit any time soon so if you're looking at getting yourself a SONOS system or just looking to add extra depth to a zones then make sure you give the new SONOS SUB a listen.

If you would like to know more or to request a demo on this amazing new product then please give us a call on: 01793 538222.

The Vinyl Revival!

As everyone is hopefully aware, vinyl is undergoing a massive resurgence.

For the music lover this is great news because, out of all the formats available, a record (in good condition), played on a good turntable, will outperform any other source!

With so many new releases coming out in vinyl, you no longer have to solely rely on replaying your existing record collection.

In Oxford, we stock turntables from as little as £200 up to £1000. So if you would like to hear music that really grabs you on an emotional level, please call us on 01865 765961 to arrange a demonstration.

Celebrate 20 Years of truly great loudspeaker design with PMC...

/

Here in the Swindon branch we have the amazing PMC Twenty 21 ( The baby standmount ) and the Twenty 23 ( The smaller floorstanders).

When we first heard these speakers late last Autumn we knew we were listening to a very special range of speakers.

The twenty™ series is the next generation of simply elegant, handcrafted British loudspeakers that follow in the lineage of world-wide acclaimed PMC designs. With PMC’s innovative ATL™ technology they provide an effortlessly natural, rich, room filling sound that would suggest a cabinet far greater in stature, making the twenty™ series ideally suited to all styles and sizes of interior.

twenty.21

Due to its complex ATL™ the twenty™•21 has significantly more dynamic grip and depth of bass than any other speaker of this size.

twenty.23

Certainly the first and overwhelming impression of the twenty™•23 is an open, engaging and communicative loudspeaker.

Please visit us or call on 01793 538222 to request your demo.

Let music light up your evening...

/

With the evenings quickly drawing in and the cold winter months nearly apon us, We at the Swindon branch know the importance of a good sounding system to help pass the time.

Thats why we're working on planning one or two ( maybe more ) music events with some of our suppliers.

So if your in the market for a new system or even just fancy listening to some nice equipment then please keep checking back with the Audio T website as details will be on here soon.

AV Amps - Do you need all those bells and whistles?

/

Let us introduce you to Anthem AV amps. Home cinema amplifiers from Canada that concentrate on the main reason for having an AV amp, top quality movie sound tracks.

They may be missing some of the periphery functions of their Japanese countparts but when it comes to sound quality they are the best we have heard by far.

They have all the important features like several HDMI inputs and upscaling, Dolby and DTS HD sound processing, and some of the best room correction processing on the market.

The entry level Anthem MRX-300 (£1099) has 80 watts per channel but sounds more gutsy than amps with a claimed wattage twice that. The MRX-700 (£2099) has 120 watts per channel and if you want more power output they have a range of power amps that can be added to give huge power.

We have moved!

Hitting the right CHORD...

/

The Chord Company have done it again!

Chords NEW Sarsen speaker cable is a stroke of genius. With it offering the same attention to detail that we have come expect from them, and this is before you hear it!...

Speaker cable doesn't come much more discreet than the Sarcen, At a little under 4mm in diameter, It truly is an amazining cable.

Don’t let the diminutive size of Sarsen fool you.  Bandwidth - and particularly bass, is influenced just as much by materials as it is by diameter.  The combination of oxygen free conductors and FEP insulation means that Sarsen will turn in a remarkable performance.  Even when used to connect an affordable/budget lifestyle home cinema system, Sarsen will surprise with the extra detail, dynamics and transparency it brings. 

Sarsen is more than just a discreet cable for use with lifestyle home cinema systems.  The Chord Company’s extensive test and development procedures mean that Sarsen has been used with some seriously revealing systems and with some seriously big and transparent speakers.  In fact, the performance characteristics of Sarsen clearly show the influence of their longest running speaker cable, Chord Rumour - a design so right that it has remained unchanged for almost fifteen years.

So wherever there is a need for a truly discreet cable, but one with the performance of a heavier gauge product, there’s Chord Sarsen - speaker cable that’s hard to see but easy to hear.

IN STOCK NOW!
