Inspired by the legendary Cremona M, the full-range 3-way floor standing LIUTO delivers extraordinary performance at a substantially reduced cost when compared with its costlier counterpart. The fully shielded, rear-ported lute-shaped enclosure features a 9” aluminum/magnesium alloy cone woofer, 6” polypropylene/textile midrange and a 1” fabric dome tweeter. The LIUTO is capable of exceptional openness, extension and dynamics. Beautifully finished in a combination of gloss Piano Black lacquer and matte black top plate

R-528



R-528 represents the final step-up in the Serie R range and, as is REL tradition, embodies the largest model with superlative depth, scale and slam. Numbers do not tell the full story here, as the weight and power of R-528 at full output is prodigious indeed. The R-528 receives a Heavy 12™ active bass-engine coupled to a VariCone™ 12” carbon Fibre ABR passive radiator producing the equivalent of a 16” driver in an even larger cabinet. The digital power amplifier employed produces an effortless 500 watts with the aforementioned components means the R-528 is capable of underpinning speakers with quality low-frequency extension that cost ten times its own price. The R-528 is all about speed and detail as reproduced by the Heavy 12™ active driver, which is actually the fastest diver in the series with the best impulse response. Naturally, its capabilities suggest careful pairing, although it is capable of filling even grand salons with powerful, clean, fast and extended deep bass.

A special proprietary REL High-Level Input cable is provided with each REL Sub-Bass System and is the preferred method of connecting the REL to your main speakers. This cable joins the REL to your system by connecting to the left and right channel speaker terminals of your amplifier or surround-sound receiver. This allows the REL to receive the exact same signal as your main speakers, providing for a seamless integration of low frequencies into your system. This is a very important point and together with REL’s Natural RollOff™ circuitry, ensures far superior system integration of the Sub-Bass System with the main system. The High-Level connection is active whether you use your system in two-channel music or surround-sound mode. This connectivity method offers noticeable sonic improvements over the common RCA low-level interface by not only delivering the missing low frequencies by creating the realization of a “lifelike illuminated acoustic space”, otherwise known as the “REL effect.” Virtually any conventional separate power amplifier, integrated amplifier or receiver can be used with REL Sub-Bass Systems. Even most Class D amplifiers can interface as REL incorporates REL-D™ circuitry providing the appropriate impedance and grounding for digital amplification.


 

 
 
 



 
MT10 Turntable

The McIntosh MT10 Turntable marries classic McIntosh glass front panel cosmetics with serious mechanics to create a unique, ready-to-play LP solution. With tracking force, anti-skate and cartridge position preset at the factory, the McIntosh MT10 delivers high performance LP playback with minimal set up.

A custom tonearm features a rigid, dural-aluminum arm-tube gimbaled in two sapphire (horizontal) and two ceramic (vertical) bearings for the least possible friction. A .5mV moving coil cartridge is included, and features an ebony body with an ellipitcal stylus.

MXA60 Integrated Audio System

Constructed in celebration of our 60th year in business, and wrapped in our trademark casework of stainless steel, black glass and blue lights, the new MXA60 Integrated Audio System from McIntosh challenges old notions about what constitutes serious audio hardware. Capable of true-to-life sound reproduction that belies its diminutive size (the product measures 22.5” long, 10.6” high, and 14.9” deep, including loudspeakers), the MXA60 is a full-blown McIntosh HIFI in-miniature. Now, perhaps for the first time, music aficionados need not trade performance for convenience. Conceived and executed by the same team responsible for the $250,000 McIntosh Reference System, the MXA60 stands ready to introduce a whole new range of music lovers to the pleasures of owning a hand-made audio system; a system steeped in the McIntosh traditions of unerring quality and value; a system that is built to last a lifetime.

MC275 Vacuum Tube Power Amplifier

An object of desire cherished by music lovers around the world, the MC275 was designed and engineered in 1961 by McIntosh co-founder Sidney Corderman and the McIntosh Engineering Team. Based upon the extraordinary Unity Coupled Circuit, the MC275 has a lush sound that presents a powerful and detailed soundstage.

The MC275 develops 75 watts per channel into 2, 4 or 8 ohm loads, or 150 watts in bridged mono mode. Both balanced and single ended inputs are supported. The mirror polished stainless steel and black chassis with die cast nameplate is presented here just as it was in the original 1961 model.

NAD C 545BEE                                What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Five Stars   Click Logo for Review

CD Player

The C 545BEE replaces NAD’s venerable C 542. With the worldwide acclaim and numerous awards for outstanding performance and value, it is fair to ask why NAD would “mess with success”. But NAD has never rested on its laurels; rather development is ongoing at the NAD Lab and new models are launched when we feel a significant improvement has been achieved. Such is the case with the C 545BEE. Besides the new more refined cosmetics, the circuit layout and component choices have been extensively updated. The cumulative effect of these changes is dramatic, improving low frequency slam and extension, while maintaining the pace and timing for which the C 542 was so lavishly praised. Image depth and scale are further enhanced while retaining the timbral accuracy and lucid harmonic structure of its predecessor.

Features

  • CD, CD-R and CD-RW Compatible

  • MP3 and WMA decoding

  • NAD CD-8 Full Function Remote Control

  • Burr Brown 24 bit Digital to Analogue Converter

  • Coaxial Digital Output

  • Optical Digital Output

  • Low Output Impedance

  • Toroid Power supply with Separate Power Regulators for Analog and Digital Sections

NAD C 375BEE

Stereo Integrated Amplifier

The C 375BEE is far more than a bigger C355BEE — in fact, it is much closer in spec to the M3 Integrated Amplifier from NAD’s high end Masters Series. It also incorporates an updated version of NAD’s “Building Block” concept to make the addition of the PP375 phono module and other affordable future upgrades possible. Attention to the most minute detail is evident everywhere, from the heavy gauge steel chassis to the sophisticated power supplies and copper buss bars channeling almost absurd amounts of current to the custom gold plated speaker binding posts.

The C 375BEE boasts many upgrades and refinements taken directly from the highly acclaimed NAD Masters Series M3 Amplifier. These include application of Bjorn Erik Edvardsen’s innovative and patented Distortion Canceling Circuit in the output stage and BEE Clamp in the power supply. An improved tone control circuit and revised PCB layout has reduced distortion and noise to unprecedented levels. Taken together, these improvements mark a sharp upturn in performance that simply must be heard, to be fully appreciated!

About Ortofon

About the unique 2M design

2M is developed together with the Danish designer "MøllerJensen Design" from Copenhagen, Denmark - the same designer who designed the award winning cartridge MC Jubilee and the Kontrapunktseries.

The inspiration for designing the 2M was related to the facets of the diamond - elegantly concentrating its contours against the grooves on the record surface.

The name 2M was selected among several ideas. We wanted a modernname which should be easy to pronounce and to remember, and therefore an alpha numerical name was chosen. 2M means MM, which is the abbreviation for moving magnet.

We are using the same names on our 2M series as we use at our Rondo series: Red, Blue and Bronze. The 2M Black will become the flagship of 2M.

2M was the last product of our former chief engineer Per Windfield. He has worked with the 2M for the last two years.
