A couple of years back we took two of the rooms on level 9 and we were quite taken by the activity in at least one of the rooms. We did fly in a brand new pair of Avantgarde UNO SD & DUO SD speakers that were to be launched the following month in Munich. As it was the first two pairs we picked up were stolen in transit and we realized then, we would have to fly in two new sets of speakers and set up without running in which,,, by the end of day 3 sounded quite nice. We flew in Mezzos last year just before the show and it was a great big room perfect for these massive beasts,, we love them and we think many felt the same way. This year, we'll be a little less but more. Fully run in. We have been getting ready and running in the gear now with plenty of time with products that are a bit better suited for the size of the room (# 16) . Our original plans were to run the new *!Colibri set with the C18,,, its too much for the room and as they will not make it in on time,,we have selected products that will blossom in this space. The Piega COAX 411 are to many reviewers, "the standout" of stand-mount, bookshelf speakers while the new Diamond MK2 range is simple superb for a larger audience on a more moderate budget. These speakers punch so far above their weight,, if you like the design, you're in for a treat.
*1Stay tuned for this and we'll have them in Sydney for a solo outing soon. Melbourne will be first cab off the rank in July followed soon after by Brisbane so keep in contact for the invites.

Melbourne HIFI show this weekend
This weekend one of our dealers will showcase some of his product offerings which include our own and as we have before, we continue to support his efforts. Bill ( Mcleans Room 2204 ) he will feature New products from INNUOS and FEZZ with Devore Fidelity speakers and his own Rogue Audio Amplifier.
The NEW INNUOS Stream 1 and LPSI will be in use now at the show and supported by the Innuos Phoenix Net. If hotel streaming allows,, you can explore what is on offer from the magical world of Qobuz. This Stream 1 is fitted with the New Performance DAC module so Bill can easily demonstrate the difference between the new DAC module and the magical FEZZ Equinox DAC which is hooked up via USB .
In the "World of High End" these products still represent to some an aspirational target while some others would see as simply extraordinary value for money components that can make a massive statement in a system. One thing is for sure,, FEZZ and INNUOS are powering ahead and stay tuned for the special event planned for next month in Melbourne as we pair up the new Stream 3 which are on the way next week.
The Stereonet Hi-Fi Show is being held this weekend at the same venue we have exhibited at 4 times prior with this group which is the;
Pullman Melbourne Albert Park. Enjoy!
