Thought I would share one more photo of this beautiful installation in Canterwood. Today we added three more Vicoustics Wavewood panels above the screen. Just because they look so good.

The “Holy Grail” has arrived.
Yesterday we installed the new Meridian Ultra DAC in our listening room. Mathew downloaded a MQA recording from the 2L website and dropped it into our Sooloos Library.
In my 35 plus years in the audio business I’ve heard a lot of hype about new formats. The promise of “Holy Grails” of recording reproduction I’ve seen come and go too many times. So I was a bit skeptical yet I had faith in Bob Stewart’s ability to pull this one off. If you don’t know about MQA, here is a link to a good explanation of how this format works.
The reader’s digest version is for the first time in the history of recorded audio, we can now experience in our homes an exact uncompressed “perfect” duplication of the original recording mastered in the studio. Pretty big deal to us music lovers to say the least. What does it sound like? All I can say is in our over 11,000 Sooloos album collection, it is easily far and above anything else we could demonstrate for you. Please feel free to call us to arrange a personal audition or stop in to have a listen for yourself.
Come See Our New 4k Projectors!
Grandma, Grandma, “Look how big that screen is. The picture quality is awesome.” After playing on his Xbox for a day, his comments were “I love that room– the speakers and subwoofer were incredible—I want them, especially the subwoofer. “ When his brother came the next afternoon, he walked into the room and said “WOW”. WOW is right, that is an apt description on the home theatre room at Nuts. Now, it is even more impressive with the new 4k projector. Come see for yourself. If the kids say WOW, I am sure you will too.
The Family Is Now Complete
Early this morning we received our first pair of the new FOCAL Sopra no.3.
This is the long awaited flagship of the Sopra series.

What a remarkable accomplishment from our friends at Focal.
We could not be happier in their beauty, price value and sonic presentation.

Or better yet if you are wanting a demonstration please feel free to drop in or give us a call.
Beautiful Custom Theater Room
Here is a wonderful system we finished yesterday in Cantewood. Our customers recently purchased this beautiful home and were referred to us by one of their neighbors. On our initial visit they showed us the space they wanted to use as their main movie entertainment room. This room is on their lower floor and the original contractor pre-wired an AC outlet for a TV along with a pair of cables for in-ceiling surround speakers. The shape of the room is almost a perfect cube and sounded like a handball court.
I knew was going to difficult to get the kind of performance they were hoping for unless we treated it with acoustic panels. So once again Vicoustics to the rescue. The customers own a piece of furniture they wished to use to house the
electronics, so we patterned the style of the acoustic treatment to closely match it as well as the existing beige carpet.
After installing the panels, the sound of the room was almost perfect so we were now ready to install the AV system. We went with the new 78″ Ultra High definition Samsung screen for the video. It looks amazing.
For sound we used the flagship Marantz SR 7010 receiver and matching universal player. For the main speakers we used Focal Aria 900 series speakers along with two of the JL Audio F113 series 2 subwoofers. For the surround speakers we used Focal’s new in ceiling 300-series speakers along with their new sub air subwoofer. I can’t remember hearing a better balance of full range surround information. And with these new Atmos high definition Blu Ray recordings they pull off the effects perfectly.
To make the system easy to use, Adam programmed a URC MX 980 RF universal remote. Our customers truly loved the look and sound and ease of use of this
room and I feel pretty certain we will see referrals from them as well.
Thanks again you two!
Enjoy…
