Aequo Audio has announced the release of two floor-standing speaker models - Aequo Audio Ensium and Adamantis. Both speaker systems use a fundamentally new nanotechnology-based case material developed by the company itself. This nanocomposite converts vibrations into heat, almost completely eliminating case resonances in the range from 1 Hz to 100 kHz. Unlike traditional case materials, this polymer has virtually zero "sound footprint" and provides 10 times more damping than aluminum!
Both speaker systems have a three-way circuit. The Aequo Audio Adamantis model is passive, while the Ensium is active with a 500 W amplifier and an analog sound correction system for the acoustic features of the listening room, ARPEC. Both models have a complex shape, acoustically optimized according to the design philosophy of "form follows function." This was made possible by the nano-material casting technology from which the enclosures are made. Despite weighing over 100 kg each, the speakers have a surprisingly large internal volume relative to their external dimensions.
The recommended retail price of the Aequo Audio Ensium active loudspeakers in Europe is 44,900 euros per pair of speakers. The price of the passive Adamantis model will be announced later.

The CH Precision T10 10MHz Time Reference is a new premium clock that is suitable for both the “ultimate” upgrade of the CH Precision C10 Master DAC and for enhancing the sound of any high-end digital audio system. Independent clock domains between the transport and the DAC can introduce discrepancies that blur resolution and disrupt consistency. The CH Precision T10 external clock solves this problem head-on, providing an exceptionally pure 10MHz master clock designed with ultra-low phase noise and virtually eliminated jitter.
The decoupling system for acoustic systems and equipment WELLFLOAT Delta Extreme II offers a unique solution for vibration control. The model is based on a multi-stage pendulum system – similar to those used in physics to detect gravitational waves.
The Hegel H150 integrated amplifier has been announced – the model will replace the well-known Hegel H120. The new model will offer a power of 2 x 75 W with a damping factor of 2,000 – that is, there are simply no complex acoustic systems for the device. In addition, the Hegel H150 is equipped with a built-in phono preamplifier and an advanced streamer.
Speakers of the SV Audio (Storgaard & Vestskov) GRO company are a classic two-way solution and are recommended for use in rooms from 15 to 60 m2. The model does not require high input power - the talents of the acoustics are revealed already with 25-watt amplification, since the sensitivity reaches 90 dB.
The new Voxativ Alberich² Metal speakers are a development of the well-known Voxativ Alberich² model – only designed in aluminum forged housings. The acoustics consist of two modules – Voxativ Hagen² Metal monitors, using AF-2A AlNiCo Magnet broadband drivers and Voxativ Alberich² Metal low-frequency units.
