ProAc TriTower

For the last 2 years ProAc has been developing a tall, very slim loudspeaker with audiophile sound quality and home cinema power. The cabinet, measuring only 1100mm x 140mm x 170mm houses a three way design using high tech drive units. In true ProAc tradition this enclosure is floor ported for bass quality and room placement.

These very slim speakers have awesome power, unbelievable bass quality, slam and timing. Each speaker has three 41/2” bass drivers, the cones of which are made from aluminium with a special coating to damp resonances. They have a piston like action ensuring deep, powerful and clean bass response. The drive units are seamlessly mated together with a brand new multi layer crossover design.

The midrange, using the same cone as the fabled Response 1SC, is housed in its own enclosure. This is to stop any interference from the bass drivers, and the 1” silk dome tweeter is placed between the bass and midrange drive units.

The Response TriTower has true high-end sound quality, it is also an excellent match with the ProAc Hexa system and all other ProAcs for home cinema use, ideal for standing each side of a flat screen.

System 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

ProAc Tablette Reference Eight SignaturePossibly the best small speaker in the world, we know of no other speaker this small with genuine audiophile quality. No expense has been spared sourcing expensive drive units for this design and boy does it show!

To sum up: Clean and detailed sound, especially beguiling in the midrange; convincing soundstage, with rock-steady image; 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

Zingali 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"
- Soundstage The 2002 Jimmy Awards

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.
