Magnat has introduced a new line of Signature acoustics, the series includes three models: two floorstanding ones – Signature 809 and 607, as well as a bookshelf Signature 603. The manufacturer assures that each model is ideally combined with the Signature Center Pro, Atmos ATM 202 acoustics and the Omega CS12 subwoofer, which allows using the speakers both in stereo mode and in the format of multi-channel installations for home theater.
New Magnat Signature series opretaes a patented combination of a pair of high-frequency drivers, consisting of an fmax dome tweeter and a dome super tweeter, which allows expanding the frequency range to 50 kHz. The diffusers of the midrange/low-frequency drivers are made using the proprietary 3L technology. The combination of ceramic and aluminum minimizes unwanted resonances, delivering deep bass and precise midrange frequencies. Each driver is optimized using Klippel technology, a pioneering measurement tool.
The speaker cabinets are made of fiberboard, and the crossovers with 24 dB slope filters ensure precise frequency alignment of the drivers. The dual Airflex ports of the 809 and 607 models provide precise bass response.
Recommended retail prices for Magnat Signature Series loudspeakers in Europe:
Magnat Signature 809 – €2,600 per pair;
Magnat Signature 607 – €1,700 per pair;
Magnat Signature 603 – €650 per pair.

Serbian company Dayens has released an ascetic stereo power amplifier Dayens Ecstasy IV Slim – the model uses output stages on two pairs of Japanese transistors and provides (despite the compact slim case) 110 W per channel when working on loudspeakers with an impedance of 8 Ohms (2 x 160 W at 4 Ohms).
Cayin has released an update to its well-known integrated amplifier model – the Cayin MT-35 MK3. In addition to three RCA inputs, the amp received a wireless streaming module Bluetooth (AAC, aptX HD and LDAC) with a fairly powerful built-in digital-to-analog converter based on the ES9018K2M Sabre32 chip.
Ortofon has released a reimagined modern version of the iconic MC A90 cartridge – meet the Ortofon MC 90X! The Ortofon MC 90X uses the proprietary Replicant 100 diamond – with a thin and light profile and a large contact surface, it is designed to be as close as possible to the cutting stylus of the machine used to form the groove in the record. The special shape of the diamond, a special polishing process and the use of a boron cantilever guarantee transparency and precision of sound.
