BALANCED DESIGN CONCEPT
Rotel has been in business for over 45 years and the 15 Series is the culmination of what the company refers to as its Balanced Design Concept philosophy. No, not an insistance on balanced circuitry and XLR connections, but a design strategy that encompasses a holistic approach to parts selection, circuit topology and critical evaluation by ear. Components are selected by auditioning and chosen for both their sound and long term reliability. 5 year warranty on all amps, pre's, tuners and receivers.
"Integrated amps have always made a great deal of sense to me. A good integrated can get you all of, if not better, performance then their separate siblings, save you a bit on cables and shelf space and cost less than most a-la carte options. Take the Anthem 225 Integrated Amp reviewed here for instance. It retails for $1,499 and features a 225-Watt internal stereo amplifier, a great preamp complete with a very capable MM/MC phono preamp and an RS-232 port for integrating it into a control system or home theater. The cost of Anthem's own MCA 20 Stereo Amplifier, which churns out the same 225-Watts per channel is $1,500 making the 225 a bargain if not a steal right there." Home Theater Review Aug. 2,2009
The CAP-2100 is designed for two-channel music systems where the convenience and simplicity of a high-performance integrated amplifier are required. Exceptional value is achieved by integrating the circuitry of a separate Classé preamplifier (CP-500) and amplifier (CA-2100) into a single chassis. In addition to the cost savings associated with integration, the CAP-2100 joins power and preamp without the usual cost and performance implications of interconnect cables and connectors. Further, one amplification stage is made redundant, simplifying the overall signal path. The result is a beautifully packaged jewel, capable of startlingly lifelike sound at a comparatively modest price. $5500

B&W's NEW CT Series
There’s a reason why they call it the movies. And it’s not just to do with what’s happening on screen. Cinema moves you. It transports you to other places: different times, faraway lands, alien worlds. It’s the language of emotions, of dreams. Bowers & Wilkins knows a thing or two about dreams. After all, our company was founded on one. John Bowers always dreamed of building the perfect loudspeaker – one that brings the listener as close as possible to sound as it was recorded. That was our goal more than 40 years ago, and it remains so this day. CT Series speakers starting at $600 each
The curved, modern look of the cabinetry in the Studio v.5 line doesn't just add a refined elegance to the next generation of Paradigm's award-winning speaker line. The curved enclosures also help solve the problems of unwanted internal sound reflections and edge diffraction that have long been associated with rectangular cabinets. Studio v.5 speakers are also treated to seven coats of the highest-quality lacquer, which is hand-sanded in between coats. The rich, deep wood grains are evident across models. Studio 10 shown $795 pr.
Wallet friendly high-end hi-fi
Marantz is kickstarting the campaign for real audio, introducing the wallet-friendly CD5003 ($349) CD player and PM5003 ($449) to get you back in the game.
Yes, we're back in the land of shiny silver discs, with the CD5003 offering an audiophile-friendly reinforced chassis to cut out vibration, HDAM SA-2 modules for better audio reproduction and a digital-to-analogue converter that guarantees perfect symmetry between left and right channels. More practically, it plays CD-R and CD-RW, MP3 and WMA-enabled discs, should you want to back up that hard drive.
"Let's get straight to the point: B&W's 685 is a terrific little loudspeaker. It has impressive tonal balance, tremendous rhythmic authority, conjures a nice, open soundstage, has impressive if not super extended bass response, a singing treble, plays loudly without strain (unless you're a semi-crazy headbanger), and, thanks to a forward-firing port, can be mounted on a wall, shelf, or B&W's own stands. Sweetening the deal, the 685 retails for just $650 the pair and is finished to a degree that in my expereience is unsurpassed at its price." TAS Nov 2007
