Sydney Audio Club - Today

After being challenged by two of my lads to provide a value system for this event that could last for years and under a certain value which in luxury high end audio is possibly "not possible" according to some so this first value was $10,000.

We selected a few pieces from Europe we know are very high quality and are built to last and if ever in need of service are easily serviceable.

In the age of throw away, our younger men of the family voiced concerns of the throw away and the issue of renting and not owning,, i was taking it in and i know now what they are saying as it rings true on so many levels. We rent music more than ever as we do movies yet we cancel a subscription and are left with nothing. OK, they boys are living in a world of blance and tangible assets and they honed in on these products.

I grew up with quality products that i remember very well and the speakers, the JADE Series 20 was the nearest to what we had that we include in our line up.

Today, we introduce the new sibling to these:

Pylon - Model Jade 10

The smallest loudspeakers in the series, combining a compact form with surprisingly big, high-end sound – all enclosed in elegant, timeless vintage-style cabinets.

Visually stunning and wonderfully built, a speaker that could become that long term music partner. It is built with pride and passion by experts in their field”

“Once run in, a remarkable full bodies speaker that when combined with a great amplifier will be capable of producing extended highs and a smooth and lush mid-range”

Sound bigger than you expect - capabale of delivering a sweet or party vibe.

Jade 10 is the smallest loudspeaker in the Jade series – compact, yet full of inner strength. Designed for top-tier sound quality, it features advanced, high-efficiency electroacoustic drivers. The midwoofer delivers fast, colorful bass and a natural, expressive midrange. The tweeter offers crisp, smooth, and non-fatiguing highs. Thanks to its high-sensitivity drivers, the Jade 10 plays with maturity, spaciousness, and a natural sound – even when paired with low-powered tube amplifiers. The internal crossover is carefully tuned and built from linear components and foil capacitors, ensuring seamless driver integration.

Flawless from bottom to top.

In the lower and midrange frequencies, the Jade 10 uses a mid-woofer equipped with a modified cellulose cone with optimal internal damping, operating in a low-resonance suspension system. It’s supported by a powerful magnetic circuit with advanced field symmetrization and eddy-current-reducing rings, ensuring maximum clarity and precision. The high-frequency range is handled by a professional compression driver, used in larger Jade models. It is paired with a short, custom Tractrix horn, which delivers a detailed yet smooth sound with a widened sweet spot. The tweeter uses a CCAW voice coil, combining lightness and excellent conductivity for accurate, high-resolution reproduction. Dual-sided winding ensures better cooling and lower compression, allowing for higher acoustic output.

Timeless design with exceptional sound - My boys love the JADE.

Jade 10’s vintage-inspired look is evident in its proportions, details, and classic grille with pin mounts. The cabinet, made from thick MDF with internal bracing, is stiff and resonance-resistant. Natural sheep wool damping eliminates standing waves and prevents unwanted sounds from escaping through the bass-reflex port. The front-firing bass reflex system, placed near the bottom of the front panel, performs best in near-boundary conditions – whether placed directly on the floor or on the dedicated accessory stand. Combined with its compact dimensions and the option to use an optional stand, Jade 10 is ideal for smaller rooms. The cabinet’s tilt, achieved through specially profiled feet, directs the sound wave toward the listener’s ear level, enabling ideal listening conditions even from low placement.

So, one would have like to present to you the new model that was slated for February, alas, it will not be April but it will be for a May arrival.

The current model specifications.

Producing a clean 2x45W and it is known for its punchy, dynamic, and neutral sound

This model today features 3 RCA inputs, the optional remote and the Bluetooth option as well as HT bypass and SUB L/R output.

The design is elegant and modern whilst being true to the Audiophiles yet modern enough for all family members .

Designed and built in Poland.

(This amplifier has also been available as a MonoBlock Amplifier)

Max. output power: 2 x 45W

Circuit type: Push-pull Class AB

Output impedance: 4 Ohm / 8 Ohm

Inputs: 3 x RCA

THD (Harmonic distortion): < 0.2%

Frequency response: 18Hz-103kHz (-3dB)

Power consumption: 225W

This Amp has been priced from $5,999 it is for the base set of standard features. We will see an increase in Price as the new model arrives. I’ll explain some of these differences as we are advised to not publicise until batch run.

( the scales of economy assist in this next phase as does adopting a more standard approach to building products)

We Love this amp now and I know we will love the next version also, it will arrive in a few months so for here for now,, enjoy the Titania Evo ( GEN 1).

9/3/2026: Thank you those that came on your Sunday, i know the weather man placed a fear factor into many and the rain did come but it did not interupt the sounds we delivered. For me personally, it was a very satisfying meeting to deliver what we see as a fantastic sound in what i deem a horrible room so this "attainable package" in a world of extreme offers delivered , in my opinion a wonderful sound, best a few seats from the front, i had to keep reminding someone. These smallest speaker in the Jade Range were awesome and the Titania was the engine that just kept giving.

We have presenetd many times in this room and i have never had a complaint,, not that others can say the same so i was all smiles, thanks again for your time.

Black Shoes one of my favourites, Light of Day and Kyrie we missed on the day.
