 C-R1 Rear Channel
  • Connoisseur
  • The Bi-polar design of the C-R1 rear channel surround lends itself to many different mounting arrangements to suit your room. The small cabinet size, and shape enhances performance by directing the surround information towards the rooms boundaries, and utilizing these boundaries as reflective surfaces. The surround system will sound larger than life, and much more realistic - closer to the goal of the true "theater" experience.

     C-R3 Rear Channel
    Perfect Sound in a Less than Perfect Room The C-R3 rear channel model adds the exclusive technology of Energy's Sound Field Management (SFM) to the Connoisseur Series. Once an exclusive technology for the Veritas series, this feature allows the user to custom tune the rear surround speaker for any audio application. The two controls allow you to adjust the soundfield type from bi-pole (where the two side firing midranges radiate in phase with each other), or di-pole (which changes the phase of one of the midrange drivers so that they are out of phase with each other). Additionally, the overall level of the effects from the side drivers can be continuously adjusted with a volume control. The largest benefit of the SFM system is that it allows the speaker placement to be modified for when it is less than perfect. Its not always possible to mount the rear channel speakers exactly where they should be, but with the SFM system, you can modify the output and ambience of each speaker individually, to compensate for different wall materials, placement, height differences, etc.

    Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

    George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

    Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

    The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
