Meridian A320 On-wall Installation Loudspeakers have arrived at Rose Street.  meridian in wall speakers

For years, Meridian loudspeakers have been regarded as offering the highest performance available – the result of careful design, the highest-quality drivers and components, transparent crossovers and rigid, low-coloration enclosures in both Active and Digital Active designs.
Now we have paid the same level of attention to the design of loudspeakers for installation purposes, including in-wall, flush-mount and on-wall configurations. These offer full Meridian performance for systems where the use of floor-standing models is impossible or preferred.
These excellent little speakers have been incorporated into our demonstration facility along with a G95 all in one cinema system and a JVC HD1 high definition projector.  This system has to be seen and heard to be believed. 

Improve you Ipod portable listening experience with the Voyager Portable Headphone Amplifier

A pic of the voyager heeadphone amplifier

Well it’s finally here; nearly 2.5 years in the making, we are now totally certain it has been worth the wait. We have a mini (portable) headphone amplifier (battery, USB and plug top powered) that can take any line level source amplify and improve it to give real volume and kick to any headphones or earphones.
With a form the size of an IPod Classic (6th generation) but being thicker, the IPod can sit easily in the front recess of the Voyager, mating together to create a formidable partnership. A number of other "Pod" players also fit. The supplied 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable allows the 'headphone out' of the player to go into the 'line in' giving excellent results and superb volume and bass. However, when you buy a "port to 3.5mm" adapter, bypassing the amp circuits of the Pod player and there inferior digital volume control, this allows the Voyager to really impress. We compared it against newer and older model Solos and we liked greatly what we heard.
The Voyager is light weight, similar in feel to that of a "classic" pod player and comes fitted street-wear contour switch that is designed to improve the tonal range of street-wear headphones. For use with domestic and studio players that use Hi-Fi or studio headphones, the "flat" position is generally more appropriate.
The Voyager can be used in the office taking its input from line-out sources like the 3.5mm jack on many computers. While in use at the desktop, it can be powered by a spare USB cord having a mini AB plug. The Voyager is supplied with an AC adapter that can power it when used at home or in the office. In use so fare we have chargers our G6 IPod 80Gb 4 times for 1 charge of the 200mAh NIMH PP3 9v cell and Its still going.

With new DVD formats now available to buy and HD TV now launched from sky and telewest, getting a high quality screen is a must.

We dont stock every LCD or Plasma under the sun, rather we have selected what we regard to be the "best" on the market. Remember the better your screen the better your sources should be, dont expect to spend thousands on a screen and get a good picture. You will need to invest in a decent DVD player and cables if you want the most out of your display.

We are more than happy to demonstrate the different levels of screens, or if there is one you are particularly interested. Please drop in for some advice.

New Headphones from Sennheiser

Sennheiser have just released a selection of tempting new ear-phone offerings to tune up the sound of I-pod and mp4 players: the new MX W1 Wireless in-ear head-phones (£299.00) top the range with the IEM6, 7 and 8's completing the range.

The MX W1s transmit audio to each earpiece without compression, using the 2.4GHz frequency band, resulting in lossless audio files on your iPod classic being transmitted in all their glory. A matchbox-sized transmitter fastens on to your MP4 player with a stretchy band, and plugs into any 3.5mm audio socket via a short cable. The earphones themselves have internal batteries and can be fully recharged up to three times when docked into their battery-equipped carry case and will give upto 4 hours playback, depending on volume. You simply 'twist' the earphones into your ear canal, giving a snug fit. You can also have the transmitter send the same audio to two pairs of MX W1's, allowing a shared music and movie experience.

The IEM range is a range of headphones designed for the rigours of portable life. The ear-plugs are designed with rugged streetware in mind. The cups feature a durable housing and rugged, Kevlar®-reinforced cable. Dynamic drivers with powerful neodymium magnets deliver greater sound definition and enhanced bass. The ear-bud style fit offers excellent attenuation of ambient noise. They are compatible with MP3, iPod, iPhone, DVD, CD players and mobile phones (3.5mm stereo plug). Prices TBC. Phone or call Hi-Fi Corner for more details.
