T+A Pulsar S 130 – new slim acoustic systems in the model range of the famous German company. The model is designed according to the brand design with “symmetrical directivity”, which helps to minimize reflections in the listening room. The forward-facing bass reflex port also facilitates installation.
T+A Pulsar S 130 uses a special scheme - the front panel of the speaker body combines four speakers and a tweeter without any fasteners or screw connections. According to the developers, this way it is possible to achieve a flat frequency response. The frequency range of T+A Pulsar S 130 acoustic systems extends from 32 to 45 kHz. With a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms, the sensitivity is 86 dB, and the nominal power is 150 W with a peak of up to 180 W - so a powerful and stable amplifier will be needed in pair with the speakers.
The crossover frequencies of the T + A Pulsar S 130 are 225 Hz and 2.2 kHz. The dimensions of the speaker cabinets are 100 x 27 x 37 centimeters, and the weight of one speaker is 22.5 kilograms. The T + A Pulsar S 130 acoustic systems are offered in black and white piano lacquer finishes and are already on sale. In the USA, the recommended retail price of the new product is $ 7,500 per pair of speakers.

Burmester, the famous German manufacturer of high-end equipment, begins releasing LPs. The PURE SOUND Master Recordings series opens with the 1964 jazz album Oscar Peterson Trio “We Get Requests”, the record will be released in a limited edition of 33 copies and will be sold for 777 euros.
Soulution has introduced the ultimate vinyl player Soulution 787. The model features linear tracking system with a moving platter and a minimal excursion pivoted tonearm.. Recall that such designs imply the highest tracking accuracy, but have hardly been used until now due to their extreme complexity and high cost (Nakamichi TX-1000 Computing Turntable in 1983-1987 with Absolute Centre Search System offered offered something a little similar - but in that case the tonearm moved, and the platter provided the necessary center shift, corresponding to a specific LP).
The well-known acoustics manufacturer, Monitor Audio, has released three new active subwoofers of the Monitor Audio Vestra series - W10, W12 and W15. All of them are equipped with proprietary speakers with aluminum-magnesium alloy diffusers with a ceramic C-CAM coating with a long-stroke suspension and can develop impressive sound pressure.
For its centennial anniversary, Luxman has released a limited edition of the fully balanced audiophile headphone amplifier Luxman P-100 Centennial.
