Audio Research

We are very pleased to announce we are now Audio Research dealers. These are the Ref 160 M Mono Amplifiers which are the sweetest and most natural sounding amps we’ve heard. Come down and give them a listen sometime.

Come Check Out The New Store!

We are now setting appointments to experience HIFI as it should be.

New room acoustics installation

Custom binary absorber/diffuser panels designed by Josh Ritenour. Modeled in the quadratic equation in quartersawn white oak with fabric wrapped Owens Corning 703. They’ve made a huge difference in taming all of the hard surfaces in our space. Which is one of the many parts that go into acoustically tuning a room. These are mounted on aircraft cabling which makes them fully adjustable in the space as well. Custom designed panels available in multiple wood species.

We added Magico to the lineup

We are now the exclusive Magico dealer in the twin cities. The new S5mkII arriving in their crates. 220lbs a piece with carbon nanographene drivers and diamond berylium tweeters. These speakers are easily one of the best we’ve ever heard.

New Showroom coming soon!

Here’s a teaser of our new space.  We will be moving to the Northwinds Lofts building in November. We’re very excited to build it out. Keep an eye out on our Instagram and Facebook for progress pics.  It’s going to be really fun to have a new space to design and tune.

NAD M33

We are bringing in the brand new NAD M33 to our showroom.  Looking forward to listening to this Swiss Army knife of audio.  Just connect a set of speakers and start streaming your favorite music.  

In its simplest form, the M33 BluOS™ enabled DAC/amplifier is an ultra-high-performance streaming amplifier with superb audiophile sound. As a BluOS enabled component, the M33 can be combined with other players in a BluOS ecosystem of wirelessly networked music players throughout the home for an outstanding whole-home audio system. With the employment of the new Purifi Eigentakt™ Hybrid Digital amplifier technology, the M33 follows NAD’s long-standing tradition in identifying and developing cutting-edge amplification technology. With a minimum of 200W per channel on tap, the result is lifelike performance, exemplified by ultra-low distortion and noise.

We are pleased to announce we are now dealers for Marantz, Denon, and Definitive Technology.
