PMC has introduced the slim floor-standing Prophecy9 speakers, which can fill quite large rooms. The speakers feature an one-inch dome tweeter and a 55mm soft dome midrange driver — they are installed in an volume with proprietary waveguide technology. In this way, the developers managed to achieve a voluminous and clear vocal sound and an extended range of high frequencies.
A pair of bass woofers (125 mm LTXL mineral cone drivers with cast alloy chassis are used) use Advanced transmission line and LaminairX aerodynamic airflow technology, providing an extended range of low frequencies.

The Japanese company SPEC CORPORATION has introduced a new integrated amplifier SPEC RSA-EX1000. The model uses a main board designed to minimize the length of the passage of musical signals from the volume control to the low-pass filter - according to the manufacturer, this preserves even the weakest signals and ensures a wealth of detail. Of course, the sound quality is also improved by reducing the inductance (coil effect) due to the minimization of internal wiring.
AURALIC has introduced the AQUILA X3 Streaming Media Processor - a new addition to the company's family of digital-to-analog audio products. The AQUILA X3 features a 14" touchscreen display, and a modular architecture with a huge number of upgrade options.
The flagship High End power amplifiers from Constellation Audio, the Statement Mono Amplifier and Statement Stereo Amplifier, use a whole clip of the company's innovations and provide outstanding sound quality.
Polish company Taga Harmony presented the Taga Harmony TCD-70T CD player, the output stage of which is implemented on two 6N2 tubes. Together with the reference chip of the ESS Technology SABRE ES9018 converter and a large-sized power supply based on a 100 W toroidal transformer, the model promises luxurious sound quality.
The Definitive Technology Demand D11 bookshelf speakers use a dual suspension system of the BDSS mid/low-frequency driver, in which the 165 mm polypropylene diffuser is attached to the basket not only along the outer edge. In this case, the second suspension in the center of the system connects the inner edge of the diffuser with the core, which contains a proprietary waveguide - this design significantly improves the linearity of the diffuser movement.
