Audiophile installations of Hi-Fi and High-End equipment
Ready-made systems, already installed and configured by lovers of good sound - a visual guide to the selection of audio equipment and acoustic systems. In addition to Hi-Fi and High-End audio installations, you will find in this section examples of a selection of the most optimal components for various requirements (such as vinyl optimized systems, systems of the month, etc.). Each of the systems contains many photos, as well as a list of equipment with detailed characteristics and descriptions in our database.
Affordable budget Hi-Fi System - Loudspeakers Perfectly Matched With the Amplifier
3 components
The Myryad Z350 integrated amplifier and the matching Z310 CD player join Davis Acoustics Ariane 9 floorstanders in this compact three-box system from France and Britain. The Ariane 9 is the tallest tower in its range and its high sensitivity lets a mid-power integrated do all the work, while the two Myryad boxes share one Z-Series design and the same converter family for discs, files and Bluetooth.
ProAc Response Four or Operly Intelligence III?
YBA+6 components
Two very different loudspeakers take turns on one French electronics chain here, the ProAc Response Four three-way tower and the Operly Intelligence III single-driver horn, both driven by YBA's Signature stereo power amplifier. A YBA Signature preamplifier and Signature CD player complete the line and a Thorens TD 1500 adds vinyl. The idea is simple - keep the amplification fixed and let the speaker choice decide the result.
Davis Acoustics Ariane 7 With Audio Analogue Electronics – Air and Grace
4 components
An all-Italian Audio Analogue chain, built around the Puccini Anniversary integrated amplifier, drives the French Davis Acoustics Ariane 7 floorstanders here. The digital front end pairs the AAdrive CD transport with the AAdac converter from the PureAA line. The idea of this home system is simple, an affordable three-way tower placed in front of electronics that cost several times as much.
February 2025 System - Minimalistic Horn Hi-Fi
2 components
Shinjitsu Audio Hiro horn loudspeakers run straight from an Arcam A5 integrated amplifier, and that is the whole chain. This February 2025 home system leans on loudspeaker efficiency instead of amplifier size, so a slim British integrated with its own DAC and Bluetooth receiver is enough to feed a two-way horn design hand built to order in Arizona.
Ultra High End System Which Will Satisfy Even the Most Demanding Audiophiles
8 components
Sonus Victor GrandeLuna MarkII loudspeakers powered by a CH Precision M10 Stereo amplifier anchor this eight-component system, installed in a purpose-built room of about 60 m2 treated on every wall, the floor and the ceiling. Vinyl leads, with a TechDAS Air Force III Premium S carrying a Graham Engineering Phantom 3 arm in 9 inch form and a Dynavector DRT XV-1s cartridge, while the rest of the electronics come from the same Swiss maker.
Davis Acoustics perfectly matches with Audio Analogue
4 components
Davis Acoustics Krypton 9 floorstanders driven by the Audio Analogue AAcento integrated amplifier make up this compact French and Italian pairing for a home living room. The amplifier opened the PureAA line, and two further boxes from the same line complete the digital side, the AAdrive CD transport and the AAdac converter, so every piece of electronics comes from one Italian maker and shares the same casework.
True Sound Wall High End System
5 components
Thorens SoundWall HP 600 open-baffle dipoles, run by an all-valve Audio Research Reference chain, make this a five-component vinyl system built around tubes and a speaker that radiates to the front and rear alike. The Reference 160S stereo power amplifier, the Reference 6SE Line-Stage and the Reference Phono 3SE carry the signal, and records spin on the TD 124 DD 140th Anniversary, a limited direct-drive deck sold as a set with arm and cartridge.
Gryphon Audio Mephisto Stereo and Wilson Audio Sasha DAW!
10 components
Wilson Audio Sasha DAW floorstanders driven by the Gryphon Mephisto Stereo form the core of this ten-component chain, a two-module American loudspeaker on a Danish dual-mono amplifier that runs entirely in class A. CH Precision supplies the L1 line stage and the P1 phono stage, vinyl plays on an Air Force III Premium S from TechDAS with a Kuzma 4Point arm and an Air Tight Opus-1, and files play from an Aurender N30SA transport into a LampizatOr Golden Gate 2 DAC.
