Arriving shortly at Hi-Fi Corner, the beautiful range of Franco Serblin speakers.The pedigree is impeccable. Franco Serblin was the designer of the acclaimed Sonus Faber loudspeakers before branching out to produce this stunning line-up. With a similar philosophy to his previous creations, the design of these speakers is aligned to that of musical instruments, with great emphasis on materials and craftsmanship beyond compare. Coupled to this is the sheer elegance of the innovative designs and, common to the entire line-up, the ability to produce concert hall dynamics from a relatively modest sized enclosure.

Four designs are available. Two are 2-way designs – the Lignea and

Why are white, large, sealed boxes with Audio Research Corp. printed on the side irresistible audiophile nectar? It's sad really but I was uncontrollably drawn to such an item sitting on the carpet of huge Hi-Fi Corner store in Joppa. A closer look revealed the label on said box. “Reference 6SE pre-amplifier” ….now that's not ordinary nectar. When MD Struan said I could take it home until they needed it for demonstration in their main listening room, it was a forgone conclusion that it was facing a short journey. The box would just fit in my MX-5 on the passenger seat with the roof down, but the gear stick couldn't be moved if I needed to drive with the passenger door shut. This was a slight drawback until the kindly MD said he would bring it over to my flat. Was this just another example of “working from home?” Not really as it was pure indulgence, but what the heck. Have a read as to how I got on...

Super excited that we have now received our demonstration Harbeth P3ERS XD speakers, completing the line-up of the new Xtended Definition series.

One of the most popular additions to our line up of digital sources over the last few years has been dCS. Our friend George takes a dCS Bartok home test, and you can read here what he thought. Thank you once again to George for this fantastic content. 

"dCS or Digital Conversion Systems have, over the past three decades, established an enviable reputation in the audio world that the vast majority of Hi-Fi manufacturers can only dream of. This hasn't been by chance but through thorough research, design and in-house manufacture in the UK. It is a truly British company, established in Cambridgeshire, dCS first began producing high-end domestic units in the early 90's. Prior to that time, they had produced high performance digital systems for telecommunication companies and the military."
