This is our 2nd listening/demo room. We selected this small, difficult room with poor acoustics on purpose to prove that when properly setup large speakers can perform at a high level in a compromised space. This is an extreme near field experience (6ft from speakers) with horn and dynamic speakers without the large headphone effect.
Depending on inventory and demo requirements the equipment are in constant rotation in this room.

SZ-1 T Ultimate with MS 282 arm and vintage Decca cartridge
Microseiki SX-8000
A classic!
Levinson No 31.5 Reference
Built like a tank and still one of the best sounding transports ever made.
Weiss Medea Plus
Medea is a stereo 24 Bit/192 kHz Digital to Analog Converter designed with the aim of keeping an absolutely uncompromising audio signal path. Much detail and thought was spent on the digital input as well as the analog output stage. Both have in common the purest possible approach in audio design, aspiring for nothing less than excellence. This is coupled with an ergonomic design that gives the user immediate access to all necessary functions, while keeping an uncluttered and thus easy-to-use front panel. This combination makes a truly professional D/A converter catering for the highest expectations.
Lamm Industries LP-2
Superseded by the new LP2.1! The LP2 is a dual-mono vacuum tube phono preamplifier with two electrically and mechanically separated channels. It features a topology that brings out the most natural sound performance in the audio path, as well as graceful and sophisticated design. The preamplifier operates in a pure class A mode from input to output. High-current drive capability, in combination with unique single-ended class A circuitry, enable the preamplifier to drive any cable and any reasonable real world load, while maintaining its practically inaudible sonic signature.
Lamm Industries L-2 Reference
Model L2 Reference represents top of the line in LAMM hybrid and solid-state audio equipment. The L2 features a topology that brings out the most natural sound performance in the audio path, as well as graceful and sophisticated design.
Lamm Industries ML-2
2 pairs for bi-amping and/or bi-wiring. Single-ended tube amplifier producing 18 Watts continuous into 16/8/4 Ohms. Pure class A operation. Regulated power supply. High current low impedance output triodes (6C33C) in the output stage and in voltage regulator. XLR and RCA input connectors. Multi-turn trimming potentiometers for setting the nominal value of plate voltage and plate current of the output tube. New Model is ML2.2
Lamm Industries M-1.2 Reference
Pure Class A Design. .The M1.2 Reference is conservatively rated to deliver 110 Watts into 8 and 4 Ohms in pure class A operation (high and low impedance settings, respectively); 220 Watts into 2 Ohms, and 400 Watts into 1 Ohm (low impedance setting), continuous.
Lamm Industries M-2.2 Reference
Model M2.2 is the most powerful amplifier in the line of LAMM hybrid and solid-state audio equipment. It is a pure class A amplifier, with the exception of the output stage which operates in a highly biased A/AB mode. The M2.2 is conservatively rated to deliver 220 Watts into 8 and 4 Ohms in a highly biased A/AB mode (high and low impedance settings, respectively); 440 Watts into 2 Ohms, and 600 Watts into 1 Ohm (low impedance setting), continuous. The M1.2 can drive any known speaker.
JBL K2 M9500
K2 is the name of the second highest mountain in the world after Everest. It is also the name chosen for JBL's fourth Project speaker. M9500 was a follow up to the original S9500. The M9500 used the same components in a larger, industrial enclosure. The IET tuning allows deeper and more linear bass output than the K2-S9500, with room response flat to 25hz.
