High-End 2001

Pre-Show Coverage

  This year the attendees at the Frankfurt show will be experiencing, for the first time, the introduction of the critically acclaimed 47 Laboratory system. Components to be seen at the show include 47 Lab's PiTracer (seen above), Progression Gemini, Shigaraki and much more. For vinyl replay, the Der Plattenspieler turntable, Incognito modified Rega RB300 tonearm, 47 Lab's own Miyabi/47 will be feeding their PhonoCube. Of course the Gaincard (in dual mono mode) will be amplifying it all. To hold all this gear, Ken Lyon's Neuance Shelves will be put to good use.

 

SYN Factory will be showing their "flying egg" U-Vola loudspeakers. These egg-shaped units hang from the ceiling and use high-quality drive units. These "eggs" come in various solid colors as well as unique schemes (i.e. watermelon and the Earth globe as seen above). These Italian loudspeakers employs a 100mm woofer mated with a centrally-mounted 26mm tweeter.

 

M Acoustic, a factory of Omicron Group, will be showcasing their Coherence Stage loudspeaker (seen above). This three-way bass reflex design uses an external crossover. Frequency response is claimed as 28Hz to 24kHz with a 90dB/W/m sensitivity and a 6 ohm impedance.
