HIGH END Munich 2023!
A fantastic show where Kroma Atelier picked up a Best of Show award for its stunning new Mercedes Speakers. Engström was right at home with its Swedish partners, FalkenOhr looking fantastic and Shunyata Research doing some heavy lifting behind the scenes in the show’s most elite rooms.
Audio Show Deluxe 2023!
We spared no expense when it came to delivering pure, natural sound at this year’s inaugural Audio Show Deluxe. Our epic system featuring Engström, Kroma, Shunyata and FalkenOhr filled the (giant) room with pure music and was widely regarded as the best of the show.
Sun & Sound with Shunyata at Florida Intl. Audio Expo ‘23
Shunyata Research’s ALTAIRA Grounding System “nearly caused an uproar”, drawing “vocal outbursts” from guys in the room who left “shaking their heads”…
Kroma Thaïs Xtreme - UK Exclusive Launch at KJ West One
“Our friends at KJ West One know their stuff, and it doesn't take them long to know if they’re listening to something special. With very little fine-tuning of their positioning, the Thaïs X speakers delivered an extraordinary sound that was immediately met with a satisfied nod, or a somewhat disbelieving shake of the head.”
Kroma’s Mimi Xtreme is Hificlube’s standmount speaker of 2022!
Standmount Speaker of 2022 - “The original Mimi excelled in its full sound, surprising deep bass, wide soundstage, and intrinsic musicality. Mimi Xtreme kept all these critical characteristics whilst sounding faster, cleaner, tighter, more precise, dynamic, transparent and informative.”

Stella Xtreme Hi-fi News Review: “A real eye-opener…”
“… It’s a pleasure to hear, demonstrating that musical excitement can come from other areas beyond an aggressive midband. The scale of the soundstage is vast, and with the speakers happy to play loud without ever sounding stretched, you can drown yourself in music.”
TAS Golden Ear Award: Everest 8000 Power Distributor
“I have had the pleasure of using the Everest 8000 power conditioner—I mean, power distributor, as Shunyata calls it—for about a year, and the more I’ve used it the more it has impressed me…”

ALTAIRA: The Absolute Sound Product of the Year
“Shunyata’s Altaira system is a revelation, not only taking my system’s performance to the next level of sound quality but also revealing the effect of ground noise on musical realism. It has become an essential component of my reference system, and I suspect that if you audition one, you will find it equally indispensable.”
The Ear Best of 2022: Delta D6, Delta XC & Delta V2-NR
“The Hydra Delta D6 block and Delta cables brought an extra level of performance from my system and have allowed me to wring every last ounce of musical enjoyment from my sources and amplifier.”

Stereophile Review: Engström MONICA Pre-Amplifier
“I proceeded with joy, because everything I heard through the Monica Mk3 elicited from me an affirming yes! Rather than sounding overtly tubey, as in warm, sweet, and mushy, Ms. Monica sounded neutral, color-saturated, and fast. Bass was excellent, and soundstaging was wide, deep, and airy.”

Kroma Atelier Stella review by lite-magazin.de
“With Stella, the Andalusian high-end manufacturer Kroma Atelier has succeeded in creating a loudspeaker that masters the art of self-evidence: the two-and-a-half-way loudspeaker acts in a spectacularly unspectacular manner, with its natural, relaxed, unadulterated sound conversion making us forget we are listening to a playback…”
Hi-Fi Plus Review: Omega XC Power Cord
“The Everest and Omega XC power cord are designed to work together for one good reason; they complete one another. The Everest requires the best possible power to bring out its best side, and the Omega XC gets out of the way of the juice in a way that every power conditioner would dream of using…”
The Absolute Sound Review: Sigma V2 Cables
“The Sigma v2 allows my system to reveal more of the music not by skewing its frequency response to enhance detail, but by lowering the interfering noise and making dynamic behavior sound more lifelike. The result is a more musically interesting, revealing, exciting and, simultaneously, calmer listening experience…”
Sigma v2 Interconnects & Speaker Cables Review by The Audio Beat
“Shunyata's power products have overshadowed the company's "signal cables," but Sigma v2 should change all that. They are reference-grade cables with nothing near reference-grade prices. If some audiophiles consider that a sign of compromise, they will be missing out on one of the great cables here and now.”
