New room acoustics installation

New room acoustics installation

Custom binary absorber/diffuser panels designed by Josh Ritenour. Modeled in the quadratic equation in quartersawn white oak with fabric wrapped Owens Corning 703. They’ve made a huge difference in taming all of the hard surfaces in our space. Which is one of the many parts that go into acoustically tuning a room. These are mounted on aircraft cabling which makes them fully adjustable in the space as well. Custom designed panels available in multiple wood species.

NAD M33

NAD M33

We are bringing in the brand new NAD M33 to our showroom.  Looking forward to listening to this Swiss Army knife of audio.  Just connect a set of speakers and start streaming your favorite music.  

In its simplest form, the M33 BluOS™ enabled DAC/amplifier is an ultra-high-performance streaming amplifier with superb audiophile sound. As a BluOS enabled component, the M33 can be combined with other players in a BluOS ecosystem of wirelessly networked music players throughout the home for an outstanding whole-home audio system. With the employment of the new Purifi Eigentakt™ Hybrid Digital amplifier technology, the M33 follows NAD’s long-standing tradition in identifying and developing cutting-edge amplification technology. With a minimum of 200W per channel on tap, the result is lifelike performance, exemplified by ultra-low distortion and noise.
