SOULNOTE INCOMING

We first engaged with Soulnote in the Spring of 2023 when our good friends and UK importers Kog Audio lent us a small, humble and modestly priced integrated amplifier named the A2. At under £7000, significantly less than our offerings from Thrax and Vitus, we didn’t expect too much but you can probably guess the storyline from here; we were so impressed or indeed startled by what the unit could do, that we vowed to investigate the brand more deeply at some point. Here we are then ,over 12 months on, and we proudly bring you the very best [...]

LOTUS SUMMER 2024 NEWSLETTER

TIDAL AUDIO - Summer showcase We are now up and running with our G3 demo models of both Contriva and Piano floorstanders which were launched at Munich last year. Jorn at the team at Koln have moved the performance of these two exquisite loudspeakers even further. Piano G3 are a much more complete speaker than the outgoing G2 with astonishing levels of bass response and low end transparency, especially for such a modest driver array. Contriva G3 are now so open and neutral that they are nipping on the heels of the mighty Akira. For the summer [...]

THRAX SIRENS – Stereophile Review

Our very own Martin Colloms has penned a superb account of the Thrax Sirens bookshelf loudspeakers which have made such a big hit here in the last 6 months and were the subject of one of my most recent 2024 Suggested Systems. The review was for Stereophile and is an exhaustive one with some great listening impressions using examples. “Once fully planted, the Sirens sounded exceptionally natural and were consistent with respect to timbre and voice, which changed very little with either loudness or program density/complexity—a highly valued behavior consonant with low inherent distortion.” [...]
