Songer Audio has introduced a new model of floorstanding speakers Songer Audio S1x. Its basis is the latest V4 Nova driver. The driver has a redesigned geometry and construction using machined ultra-low carbon steel. The excitation coil tip is made of permendur, which gives a high saturation flux density among all commercially available metals.
During production, the company uses deep cryogenic treatment technology, when the Nova voice coil wire is immersed in liquid nitrogen for 48 hours at a temperature of -300 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows for high purity, detail and accuracy of sound.
The casing and damping of the solid hardwood cabinet have also been improved. The new product operates in the frequency range from 27 Hz to 20,000 Hz with a sensitivity of 95 dB. The price is $45,000 per pair.

Simply ideal for those wishing to experiment with tube rolling.
Accuphase has introduced the Accuphase C-57 phono preamplifier, based on a fully balanced circuit design from output to input with dual mono topology. The Accuphase C-57 also uses a two-stage solution: the first stage is the output stage to ensure matching with MM and MC cartridges, the second stage is the correction amplifier itself.
Last year, Goldmund launched the impressive Goldmund Rhea and Theia acoustics in active versions with a wireless streamer. The all-in-one solution certainly looked brilliant, but High-End fans often prefer component systems. So now the company has introduced the Goldmund Rhea and Theia loudspeakers in a Passive version.
