Studio 100
A resounding success with audiophiles internationally since its launch
in 1990, the Studio 100 is also consistently selected by top recording
engineers for near-field monitoring in major studios -ample testimony
to its overall sound quality and neutrality at monitor reference levels.
Few compact loudspeakers offer such a clean uncoloured performance and
remarkable transparency. With virtually flat frequency response and negligible
distortion, the Studio 100 is one of the most accomplished compact performers
on the market today.
The bass unit is unique. Manufactured exclusively for ProAc, it has
a particularly linear motor assembly, superb magnet and chassis construction
and a special centre pole plug. When precisely tuned in the cabinet this
driver gives an incredibly natural bass quality and definition, combined
with generous power handling.
The tweeter is a featherlight one-inch soft dome unit, once again specially
manufactured for ProAc. Made from a new impregnated fabric, the dome
itself is exceptionally light in construction giving the Studio 100 a
distinctively uncoloured and transparent high frequency.
The high quality crossover network marries the two drive units seamlessly
giving a spacious soundstage with almost tangible imagery. Only the finest
components are used and the speaker is wired throughout with our own
high-quality multi-strand wire. The cabinet itself is made from a composite
material with walls of differing thicknesses and a new and more efficient
heavy damping material ensures that the cabinets are practically inert.
Although the Studio 100 can be shelf-mounted, high mass stands with
good rigidity are preferable for optimum results. The full potential
of these thoroughbred designs will only be realised through the use of
the highest quality partnering equipment.

Audio SA 1550 There are people who use sound as a source
of inspiration and spiritual enlightenment. People who are enraptured
by the rhapsody of a symphony orchestra. People who bless the
blues from Chicago. People who crave the way guitar greats can
make a Stratocaster talk, cry or sing. They feel at home in the
subtle, sublime and swinging art of jazz. They can’t resist
the blistering tempest of a full-blooded rock orchestra. Or the
rarefied tones of baroque. They know intimately every song sung
of their favourite vocalist – and treasure every nuance
of every note. SA creates loudspeakers for these sorts of people.
People like you. At only £749 these may be the biggest
bargain ever for a beautiful speaker |

plays loud without losing sonic balance; superbly made |
ATC SCM 50 ASL I
was instantly drawn into musical events. Music was occurring in
my room. My experience was of a live event, even if the recording
was made in a studio. For me, almost any live musical event has
an excitement, whether I like the music or not. When the music
is performed with particular feeling, it not only captures your
attention, but it captures your heart and plays the strings of
your emotions. - Positive Feedback extract |

Home Monitor 212-IIHave a listen to a good emotional
female singer like Eva Cassidy. If your jaw dosn't drop then
I will be checking for a pulse. grown men have been known to
fight back tears before these speakers.
"Within seconds, I sank into a state of bliss. It may have been
the music, the volume (just shy of "live"), or the heat
in the room (from 150 glowing tubes!), but whatever it was, I remained
transfixed for the next 45 minutes"

Gryphon PoseidonThere
are Loudspeakers and then there is the Gryphon Poseidon, In our
opinion the best loudspeaker system in the world bar none.
I could say the Poseidon's are awesome and amazing, but more than
that they are truly majestic and magical. So often the quality of
a product is overstated by reviewers in order to make a magazine
review seem more interesting. It would be most difficult to overstate
the sonic abilities of the Poseidon. |
