We have featured these guys before but they are so cool that we had to stay for a listen again. Gigantic antique restored theatre and cinema speakers from Silbatone Acoustics. Very impressive.

I must say that even though I normally go for more minimal designs, I do really like the way this looks. And the way it sounds of course. Grande Utopia EM from Focal.

Quite cool looking Kawero! from Kaiser Acoustics.

This is the MSB room with SW speakers.

Blade Runner -esque monoblocks.

And their latest Analogue Dac.

A lot of the rooms had a sort of jungle theme to theme this year for some reason. You really did get a feeling that the speakers were tree trunks in the Nola room. It sounded very good as well.

Static induction transistor b-1d from Digital Domain.

We have more from Muncih, so we’ll be back soon.

Happy Friday:)

These are the cables we use in both of our set ups, from Purist, good stuff.

We have been so busy today that we haven’t managed to go for a stroll yet, hopefully later on this afternoon. I guess we can show you some more stuff from our room instead:)

Django XL hiding behind the pretty diffusors from Svanå Miljöteknik.

This year we share room with Nagra which is really cool. This is their 300B awesome tube amp that we use with Miles 5.

Miles 5

Diffusors by Svanå Miljöteknik

Busy as usual.

The brand new Kuzma turntable that we play with Miles 5

The main setup.

This is Nagra’s latest pre amp Jazz. Big news on the High End 2012.

We’ll be back soon with more.

This is what we are premiering today at High End 2012, The brand new Heritage Series: Bird 2, Getz 2, Miles 5 and Duke 2. Quite some upgrade we think:) Please have a look at our updated site here or download the press release here.

The main setup with Django XL, M•Amp Mono Power block and Nagra electronics on M•Furniture Audio Bench.

The premiere of the new Miles 5 that we will tell you more about soon.

Collage type panorama of the whole room. Click to enlarge.

We’ll be back soon with more news.

This is a bit like that huge storage space at the end of ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’:)

Unpacking Svanå diffusors.

Here you can see the new Audio bench in reflected in Django XL.

Leif being diffused by the diffusors:)

See you soon

We’re upstairs in Sheraton Stockholm this weekend at the very cool HiFi show Stockholm High End. 

Although the weather’s rather gloomy, we are having a really good time in this beautiful city.

A bit chilly for all the audiophiles queueing up outside before the show opened.

Although slightly warmer as the queue continued inside.

Our room has been ram packed ever since it opened.

Leif is spinning his tunes on our new Djangos. You ca also see the awesome MSB electronics on our brand new audio bench. It all sounds fantastic with Jorma Design cables as usual.

Here’s Leif presenting our new stuff.

This was yesterday eve at classic Stockholm eatery Prinsen. At the left is Frank from MSB who is helping us out this weekend. In the middle is Jörgen and to the right is Leif. For starters we had whitefish roe on toast with O.P Andersson Akvavit shots. Don’t miss that if you’re in Stockholm, delicious!

We’ll be back soon with more High End stuff.

The weather is always lovely under the painted ceiling at the Venetian:)

Here’s some more stuff from our floor.

Bright red electronics from Oracle Audio.

As well as shiny turn tables. Good stuff.

Oh, and here is of course the Djangos in Dan’s room together with the usual E.A.R. electronics.

Cozy lighting in Prima Luna‘s room.

Inside Prima Luna.

Good sounds in the Lansche Audio room. It almost seems they arranged their stuff according to the sunlight.

And a snake pit of cables behind:)

Rather shapely loudspeakers from Kondo.

Cool sounds and colours from Martin Logan.

Here are the delicious stone crab claws at Joe’s we were talking about yesterday. We spent the evening there with Henry Ahn from SAEM Energy in Korea and his lovely family. They fly these claws fresh from Florida everyday. Apparently they never kill any crabs, they just nip one of their claws off every year and let it grow out again. Must be really annoying to be one of them crabs eh?

Cheers

Back at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas for CES 2012. Marten have been exhibiting for more than a decade at CES and every year is more fun than the previous. We have now opened the doors to the Marten room and the show is already busy.

Leif is setting up the brilliant electronics we use from MBS Technology.

Of course they’re placed on our own M•Furniture audio bench.

So are our M•Amp Mono blocks.

We also make use of the transparent diffusors from Svanå Miljöteknik, just like last year.

The calm before the storm. Leif arriving to the room just before kick off to do the final fine tuning.

If you are at CES, please pay us a visit. We’re in the Venetian suite 30228. Welcome to have a listen to our new Djangos.

We’ll be back with more tomorrow.

Hello U.S.A.

Here we are again in glimmering Las Vegas preparing for CES 2012. We have a feeling this years show will be cooler than ever with all the attention the Djangos already have had.

Also, we really hope you all had nice holidays and, Happy New Year:)

See you soon.

One of the canals has a constant wave you can surf on. Pretty cool eh?

We also did some surfing but it was more of the couch surfing kind:) where we listened a to all kinds of stuff.

Weird and wonderful looking speakers from Italian Suon’Arte.

Electronics from dCS and Jeff Rowland. Loudspeakers from Avalon Acoustics.

The insides of dCS.

All kinds of stuff in the Accuton room.

Very nicely styled Italian amplifiers from Absoluta. They look a bit like they could have been designed in the 1950′s.

Huge white horn speakers from German Cessaro Horn Acoustics. The sound was big, nice and airy, very suitable to the look of the speakers.

Very good sounds from another italian, Pathos Acoustics.

We have a lot more from the High End show in Munich so please come back soon.
