Lately, almost every well known British Audio Brand embarked into reissuing vintage products. They started with Monitor Speakers then progressed to the bigger Loudspeakers.

To me, those vintage audio …
TELOS AUDIO DESIGNS (since 2006) from TAIWAN needs no introduction here. Suffice to say that they have been very busy with their Grounding Noise Reducer (GNR) technology and products for more than a decade.

The current 5.1 Plus has Schumann Resonators built into its circuitry, and it was …

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t require the Home Theater to play that loud (maybe peak at slightly below 100dB)…I do want …
FRANK ACOUSTICS have been designing and manufacturing audio components and loudspeakers/ subwoofers since 1998. Their products have proven themselves at performance and build quality, even fit for an Ultra End Audio System (personally I bought and used some of them). Thus, most of the local audiophile and some audiophile abroad that I knew, used their products…especially their well proven Power …
My recent surprise visit to AV DESIGNS SDN BHD was a bigger surprise for me than to their team. They were just finished unpacking and installing the newly arrived TAD M700S stereo amplifier from the land of the rising sun, Japan. Both James Tan and Jo Ki were there to entertain me and my troupe to some music through the …
Throughout this Chinese New Year 2023, I am quite preoccupied with my love ones and audio/ video components reviews. The local audio/ video distributors have been most generous to this blog (AV DESIGNS, ACTSESSORY SHOPPE, CREATIVE AV, CENTRE CIRCLE AUDIO VISUAL and last but not least, YY SOUND SYSTEMS/ REFERENCE AUDIO)…thank you all. Today, the main talk would be at …
