If you’re an audiophile, you’re not going to settle for mediocre sound from your music.  For you, your music might transport you to a different time and place, and remind you of significant memories and experiences.  Or maybe the music provides you the escape from our sometimes over-connected world, a way to unwind and immerse yourself in the experience. 

You don’t have to be an audiophile to appreciate music reproduction in your home the way the artists and recording engineers intended it to sound.  And these days, you don’t have to give up the convenience of today’s myriad digital streaming options to enjoy hi-fi quality music.  Whether you want to spin a record on your turntable, stream lossless from Tidal, or listen to high-resolution audio tracks from your computer, there’s a system for that. 

When it comes to high-performance audio, there’s no substitute for listening to the equipment.  We invite you to visit our showroom in Colleyville to hear the best brands in hi-fi.  Now let’s take a quick look at some of our favorites.

Hegel and Parasound Amplifiers

Since 1988, Hegel has been building top-end equipment for enthusiasts and audiophiles.  Their H360 integrated amplifier is a shining example of their high-end focus.  With 250 watts per channel of power, it can drive all but the most demanding speakers.  It has balanced and unbalanced analog inputs, a high-quality DAC, and network and Apple Airplay capabilities.  With the H360, you could have the convenience of digital sources like streaming, as well as analog and digital connectors for CD players and turntables. 

Similarly, Parasound’s brand new HINT 6 integrated amplifier puts everything together in one elegant product – 160-watt amplifiers, ESS Sabre32 DAC, USB input for computer audio up to 32bit-384kHz support.  The HINT 6 is a state-of-the-art amp ready for any digital or analog source, including a built-in phono input with adjustable gain for lower output cartridges.

Kef and Martin Logan Speakers

Kef is one of the best-known speaker brands. The Kef Reference Series is the company’s traditional high-end line. The Reference range encompasses bookshelf models, floor-standing towers, and subwoofers.  One of Kef’s signature features is their UniQ array, which pairs the tweeter and midrange driver concentrically to create a more natural sound field.  Kef speakers are always praised for their typically neutral sound, reproducing audio without coloration. 

The Martin Logan name has always been most closely associated with its electrostatic speakers, although they have a broad range of speakers with more conventional drivers.  If you have never experienced electrostatic speakers, you owe it to yourself to hear Martin Logan.  The soundstage created by electrostatic speakers is unique and different from that of more conventional designs.  The speaker lines range from the affordable EFX to the Renaissance ESL to the ultra-high performance Neolith, meaning there’s an electrostatic speaker for any enthusiast’s budget.

Nordost Cables

Do cables make a difference?  Sure they do if you have the type of equipment we just described above. High-quality cables are an investment, especially analog interconnects and speaker cable since those have not been affected by digital technology.  That’s why we carry Nordost cables, whose impeccable construction is the perfect complement to a high-performance audio setup, ensuring you get the most out of your equipment.

While it’s great for us to tell you about them, it’s better to come to our showroom and hear these products for yourself. Contact us for a showroom demo today.
