Fanthorpes HiFi - The Week Ahead

[FanthorpesHifi]

​

Leema Acoustics Event - Saturday October 13th​

Hi everyone, We are hosting Leema Acoustics on Saturday October 13th, this is a fantastic opportunity to hear a selection of Leema amplifiers in a back to back demonstration format. This is an event we are really looking forward to hosting, with plenty of people taking an interest already.

The event has been designed with a variety of budgets and systems in mind. So, if you are searching for some new amplification for your system, pop on down and we're sure you'll benefit from attending.

​

How Will It Work?
The event will focus around the Leema acoustics range of amplifiers.

As a reference point, we will start with the entry level Leema Elements Integrated, analysing the differences within the Tucana and Tucana Anniversary integrated amplifier series, before finishing with a demonstration of the reference Leema Pyxis Pre Amplifier and Hydra II Power Amplifier.

The demonstrations will be hosted by Mick Neil and Andy Moore of MIAN Audio, they will be on hand to answer any questions about the brand and to explain the differences between each amplifier. This is a great chance to hear and learn what design and component changes can bring to the sound of an amplifier.

All the amplifiers will use the same ancillary equipment - we will have on demo the Leema Sirius Streamer, and will be running a pair of Brigadier Mu.2 Speakers, all the equipment will be connected using Atlas Cables.

​

RSVP
Demonstrations will be held on Saturday the 13th of October at 11:00am and 2:00pm, we only have limited spaces available, so we suggest that you contact us to ensure there is available space. Call us on 01482 223096 or email [email protected]

We also have another install in the Birmingham area, this time to install a Chord Electronics Symphonic, once the new phono stage is set up, we will be taking a Lehmann Black Cube Statement in part exchange.

Wednesday 13th March

We are heading north of the boarder on Wednesday up to Edinburgh to install our second pair of PMC Twenty5 26 speaker of the week.

HiFi Plus Magazine Twenty5 26 Review:

The biggest model in the twenty5 series retains the timing brilliance of the twenty5.22 that I reviewed earlier, but adds bandwidth, dynamic capability and resolution, not to mention power handling to the mix. It is a consistently revealing and musically engaging loudspeaker that makes certain well-regarded competitors seem incoherent and coloured. In other words it’s really rather good indeed. Highly recommended!

PMC FACT SIGNATURE UK SHOW DEBUT

Fresh from their release at the High-End Munich show this year, we are set to have the PMC Fact 12 Signature Speakers on demonstration at the North West Audio Show.

PMC used the same attention to detail employed during the Fact Fenestria design process to further improve the performance to the rest of the Fact range. The new Fact 12 Signature sets a new benchmark at its price point.

​

LUXMAN AMPLIFICATION & DIGITAL FRONT END

Amplification wise we are taking the flagship integrated from Luxman, the beastly L-509X. A real store favourite. Well-built Japanese tech, we can't wait to show it off.

For our systems digital source, we are taking the reference Innuos Zenith Statement to the North West Audio Show. Innuos products are the go-to streaming solution for our store, combining ease of use and fantastic sound quality, we are excited to show you what their top boy can do . We will also have Anthony from Innuos with us to answer any technical questions you may have.

The Zenith Statement will be fed into the Chord Electronics DAVE DAC and BLU MK2 Upscaling CD Transport to deliver maximum performance.

Monday 17th June

We start the week off with a trip up to North Yorkshire to install a fantastic AV set up. We will be installing the Arcam AVR550 Receiver on a full KEF R Series surround package. This is a system we are sure our customer will love.

For those that didn’t know to get the best performance from the AVR550, it requires a full DIRAC set up. The overall aim on a Dirac install is to reach the situation where all speakers are working together to create a `sound field` around you, correctly recreating the movies sound effects while not making themselves noticeable.

Our fully trained installer can use DIRAC to allow this using a high quality specially calibrated microphone and the intelligent room analysis software linked to the new range of Arcam receivers. Full frequency sounds are passed into each speaker one at a time, in up to 9 positions in your room which are then picked up by the microphone and loaded into the software.

This creates accurate waveform graphs of your own rooms actual effect on your systems sound output. By using the DIRAC software, we can adjust these waveforms to more closely match the original movies own soundtrack.

The overall effect of this provides a clean, detailed sound where no one speaker is directly noticeable, and your attention is focused only on the movie.

We are also running a trade in promotion against the Arcam AV Receiver range, allowing you to save up to £1000. Click here for more info.

Tuesday 17th June

A free date in out calendar for now! If this fills up at a later date, we’ll update the post and let you know. Alternatively, if you want to take advantage of the services we offer on Tuesday 17th drop us an email or give us a call and we’ll try our best to make it happen.
