| Aaron ATS-5 Floor Standing Speakers |
|
|

|
Description
The Aaron ATS-5’s are the top-of-the-range in the company’s Audio Technology Series and are a serious looking 3-Way design that’s equally at home in either a stereo or surround sound system. The dual 213mm bass drivers underpin one of the major design concepts. It’s a new and improved version of what Aaron call Low Q ratio alignment which aims to lower distortion, achieve faster response times and improve system efficiency. The Woofers are complemented by a mid-range driver and the excellent Aaron ‘teardrop’ tweeter.
Listening to these gentle giants is impressive. There’s plenty of bottom-end power on tap and it’s delivered by the truckload! The good thing is that bass is tight and well controlled. Other features include a separate mid-range sub enclosure, vitrified and very large, high flux Y35 magnets, non ageing cross-over components and Bi-wiring gold banana terminals. The Aaron ATS-5’s have a 10 year warranty… |

Description
Who said you can’t buy exciting, dynamic sound without breaking the bank? With the Aaron ATS-4 you get all of this plus a 10 year warranty from this Australian manufacturing giant. The ATS-4’s include all of the features of their bigger brother, but have the smaller dual 173mm bass drivers. These, like in the ATS-5 underpin one of the major design concepts – a new and improved version of what Aaron call Low Q ratio alignment which aims to lower distortion, achieve faster response times and improve system efficiency.
The Woofers are complemented by a mid-range driver which is housed in its own separated enclosure and the excellent Aaron ‘teardrop’ tweeter. There’s plenty of bottom-end power on tap and it’s tight and well controlled.

| Aaron ATS-3 Floor Standing Speakers |

|
Description
Aaron Speakers are renowned for their fast, tight bass and the Aaron ATS-3 is no exception. They feature dual 173mm bass drivers and also utilises the Aaron Low Q Ratio alignment – designed in-house by owner designer Hume L’Estrange. This system works by utilising an ultra light woofer which operates in conjunction with an internal Cabinet Q regulator.
The ATS-3’s also include the excellent teardrop tweeter, so named because the tweeter surround is shaped like a teardrop which Hume says reduces air turbulence which in turn improves sound quality. The huge port that is part of the Low Q Ratio system is located at the back of the cabinet, below the beautiful gold–plated bi-wire speaker terminals. These are great sounding speakers, extremely well made and deliver top performance on both stereo and surround sound…

| Orpheus Aurora 3 Floor Standing Speakers |
|
|
|
Description
The Aurora 3 is a stylish high efficiency floor standing loudspeaker, developed mainly for the demands of pure stereo, but is equally at home in a high performance home cinema system. They are characterised by a truly wide, 3-dimensional sound stage with pinpoint imaging that captures the ambience of the recording space. The Aurora 3 has excellent bass extension, bass tracking capability and has the ability to preserve the sense of scale and dynamics of any music/home cinema recording.
This is due in part to the no compromise cabinet construction which reduces box coloration to a minimum and allows the cabinet to literally disappear, in the acoustic sense, resulting in a palpable sense of being there. The speakers exhibit a highly accurate midrange and treble response. The mid range is smooth with a seamless transition from high to low frequencies. The weight, punch and timing is surprising in enclosures of this size and price. The Aurora 3 is only available in premium grade timber veneer finish…

| Rega Research R9 Floor Standing Speakers |
|
|

|
Description
The R9 loudspeaker is Regas most advanced speaker to date. Offering a new dynamic four speaker set-up including bi-amping and bass attenuation. These features offer a very versatile sound and great dynamics.
Most speakers with a healthy and accurate low frequency output suffer problems in many rooms. Because of the R9's unique low frequency design techniques and the bass attenuation system, it will produce high quality low frequency in most rooms.
One of the more unusual characteristics of the Rega R9 loudspeaker is the bass attenuation. Placing the speaker closer to a wall will increase the bass significantly and likewise, moving them away from a wall will reduce the bass. The attenuation link therefore is to increase or decrease the amount of bass that you want, effectively helping you 'tune' them into your room. It is a very subtle difference, but is extremely effective and if used correctly after experimentation, can really enhance your listening pleasure.
By far, the R9 is the biggest cabinet Rega has embarked on making; its proportions are also the most radical. The cabinet construction is a quarter wave transmission line, tuned to about 45-50Hz, with a ported box chamber on top for the bass/mid driver. The quarter wave line also contains Rega's unique Tube technology. First used on the Ela loudspeaker it has now been developed and upgraded to new levels, and now helps remove nearly all airflow restrictions through the line. |

| Whatmough P33 Signatures Floor Standing Speakers |
|
|
|
Description
The Whatmough P33 Signatures are based on the Performance Series P33s with significant improvements to bring them up to Signature Series status. In common with the P33s, the P33 Signatures are hand built using curved panels. This cabinet design offers more than just great looks – they also offer improved sound quality. By eliminating internal parallel surfaces, the curved surfaces minimise internal standing waves for a clearer, cleaner sound. Even more significant, curved panels are inherently more rigid and less resonant than the flat panels of a conventional speaker cabinet, which further helps to minimise colouration.
The P33 Signatures differ from the normal P33s with improved tweeters, crossover networks, internal wiring and binding posts.
