If you are considering an in-wall speaker system the Focal IW 1002 is a great choice. Focal uses the exact same quality components found in their family of floor standing speakers.  The easily removable magnetic grille allows for custom painting to match your wall or ceiling.  The purpose-built enclosure serves two purposes. It controls the mid-woofer so your bass is smooth and also helps to inhibit sound transfer into other rooms.  We feel many in-wall speakers do not produce an acceptable level of sound quality and that these are definitely an exception to that rule.

Come in and audition these and we are sure you will agree.

Krell’s New Integrated Amplifier has just arrived!

Krell is finally shipping, in limited quantities, their second batch of this beautiful piece of Audio jewelry –  the S550i, available for $5000.

This is truly a music lover’s product with more than enough juice to control any speaker system on the planet.

We started warming up  our display unit in our showroom yesterday and already can tell it performs well above it’s price range. Huge sound stage presentation, lots of detail and control as we have come expect from Krell.  It boasts 275 watts per channel into 8 ohms and a whopping 550 into 4 ohms. It weighs 64 pounds but don’t worry, we can help you with the installation. For those of you considering a serious musical upgrade but may not have the real estate for separates, come in and have a listen for yourself.
