** FINEST SPEAKER EVER MADE**

That is the basic conclusion of Robert Harley, editor-in-chief of The Absolute Sound, “…the Magico Q7 is the single most impressive product—in any category—that I’ve come across in more than 23 years of full-time reviewing.” We're very proud to announce the Q7 has been selected as the Overall “Product of the Year” by The Absolute Sound magazine.

Yes, the biggest hit of CES 2008 is coming to Weinhart Design. At the show there were lines in front of the Magico room of panting, ravenous audiophiles and dealers waiting to hear these astounding speakers. We have the world class Magico Mini II's, V-3's and on display the new M-5’s! Call for details.

Magico Q-3 Speaker - Weinhart Design is excited to have the new Q-3 which is priced to allow even more music lovers to enjoy the magic of the Magico. This is what reviewers are saying:

Jeff Fritz, the editor-in-chief at www.ultraaudio.com has published
his full review. Some of Jeff’s observations include:

• The best way I can describe it is that hearing the Q3s was like
bypassing the typical loudspeaker interface altogether by
hardwiring my ears directly into my system’s electronics. It was
as if every bit of distortion -- noise, for lack of a better word --
had been removed from the sound, leaving in the room only the
music itself. And man, was that something to hear.

• Despite all this precision, the Q3’s sound was anything but
tonally threadbare: it was full and dense when the recording
called for it. But it was all the noise I wasn’t hearing that left the
soundstage so easy to map; the performances taking place
before me were seemingly devoid of any artifact that might
have made the musicians run together, however slightly, in
virtual space. Gone completely were the strings of distortion
that link the sounds of performers within the soundstage. The
musicians were truly liberated from what speakers typically do
to them.

• For the record, the Q3’s bass response was different from what
you’re likely used to hearing: It sounded, for lack of a better
word, pure. Imagine the qualities in the highs that you hear
from the absolute best ribbon tweeters and electrostatic
speakers, then translate those characteristics -- superb
transparency, instant-on speed, concussive transient impact --
into bass (down to below 25Hz in my room), and you’ll have a
good idea of what I heard.

• The Magico Q3 is a standard setter that liberates music from the
impediments inherent to typical loudspeakers. It is for those of
you who don’t like speakers but do love music. The experience
of hearing the Magico Q3 is something truly unique.

Paul Miller is the dean of UK reviewers, and the editor of Hi-Fi News & Record Review. Writing in the September 2011 issue of that publication, he awarded the Q3 his highest rating for any product he has reviewed and an“Outstanding,” rating, the first time he has done that. Here are some highlights from Paul’s review:

• …the Q3s steadfastly refused to add any obvious colour of their
own…

• Power, clarity, a clean and extended bandwidth – the Q3 offers
all this and more because its dynamic highs and lows are bound
into an effortless and cohesive whole. Every piece of music is
conveyed as a discrete event, reflecting the genre and tenor of
the recording itself rather than any character on the part of the
speaker.

• …the Q3 has the capacity to render traditional wooden boxes
obsolete. Once heard, the Q3 ‘experience’ is not easily
forgotten.

It must be a Blue Moon, as FINALLY a product exists that substantially improves, digital & analog sound both Stereo & Mono!
The QØL is the best product of its type and the Weinhart Design Product of the Year and a must for music lovers and Audiophiles!
By the way if you listen to mono recordings the QØLis a total game changer !!!

Another Weinhart Design special addition everyone has been wanting. Sonos Wireless HiFi Systems. In 2002, Sonos set out with a goal to reinvent home audio for the digital age. Making it easy for everybody to listen to the music they love in every room of their home. To hear the songs people love, to discover new music they never knew existed, and to appreciate it all with the highest sound quality. A half a dozen economically priced systems that will fit into your lifestyle and your budget.

Weinhart Design is now a REL dealer. Everyone knows these are some of the finest subs and control systems in audio today.

REL Acoustics Ltd. introduces the all-new G1 Sub-Bass System
The G1 features REL’s most recent exposition on amplifier topology, driver technology and operational interface. Housed within a sumptuous furniture-grade enclosure finished in gloss piano black lacquer resides a massive 12” long-throw carbon fibre driver, 600 watt Class A/B power amplifier and the award-winning REL connectivity suite providing the most flexible and sonically transparent integration, weight and low-frequency authority to the main loudspeaker system. Employing an extensively braced enclosure sculpted in a truly sensuous shape, the G1 is massive, yet elegant.

While it is physically commanding, its finely tuned shape finished in furniture-grade hand-rubbed high-gloss piano black lacquer will blend seamlessly into any interior environment. REL’s vast engineering experience is evident in the G1’s power amplifier. Featuring a linear Class A/B topology employing no less than six MOS-FET devices, massive power supplies and transformer there is no mistaking the G1 with a common subwoofer. Execution of build and component part choice is first-class resulting in extensive ruggedness and reliability. Mated to this massive power plant is a tight-wind carbon fibre 12” drive unit capable of an exceptional pistonic stroke of 1-3/4 inches! This costly drive unit was necessary in order to generate the ultimate in loudness required to underpin today’s great high-performance main loudspeakers.

The REL connectivity suite allows for using both high and low level input options. Exclusive to REL is the ability to blend and individually control both signals that, for example is useful in a home cinema system where the sub-bass system must reproduce both main speaker and .1/LFE low frequency content. Additionally, Class-D main power amplifiers cause no problem to the G1 thanks to REL-D™, a proprietary circuit that creates the proper grounding environment for most Class-D amplifiers.

Adding to the overall user experience is the G1’s IR remote control. The unique round disc-shaped remote features three rotary encoder dials that control all adjustments for HI/LO Level, Crossover Frequency and .1/LFE Level. Phase, and Settings Lock are controlled via toggle switches. Located on the bottom front of the G1’s enclosure is a large, bright LED readout providing a visual indication of all the G1’s current settings. Now, for the first time, setup and adjustment can be done from the comfort of you listening position.

When too much is not enough, the REL G1 has included connectivity to allow multiple units to be used in conjunction with one another either in stereo pairs or vertically stacked towers. Doing so results in huge wave fronts of air, conveying the true power and majesty of a musical or film sound event effortlessly.

The REL G1 embodies all the traditional REL virtues of performance, design and reliability and is available for available for audition at Weinhart Design.

Clearaudio is the first turntable or analog company to realize records actually have two sides! Yes the beautiful Double Matrix record cleaning machine cleans BOTH sides of the record at the same time. Brilliant, no?

It not only washes both LP sides in one step, it also removes cleaning fluids from both sides with a single vacuum arm.

Enoy the Music gives the Harmonic Technology Photon digital cable their Best of 2010 award. This is my favorite digital cable. Rick Becker gushes, "The Harmonic Technology Photon Digital Cable brought such sonic purity to CD playback that it challenged my belief that I needed to upgrade my vintage Muse DAC. Quick on the attack as well as the decay, the space between the notes was silent except for the micro-dynamics of low level room tone when present on the recording. ... the Photon created a large and transparent soundscape with exquisite detail and delineation of position. ... I could hear more of the music and I was more engaged by it. Though it is completely neutral, it caters particularly well to left brain analytical type listeners. .... I don't normally endorse such expensive cables, but Jim Wang's Photon Digital, with it's extraordinary application of opto electrical isolation technology, forces me to break my own rule.

Harmonic Technologies is another cable company Weinhart Design is involved with due to their continued value to customers. They have a complete line from reference to entry. We've had great experiences with their TAS 2010 Editors Choice award for their Magic Cables, and their Pro Silway, Digital and AV component cables.

Winner of the 2009 and 2010 Absolute Sound Editor's Choice Awards, Harmonic Technology's new MAGIC Link Two is a newly improved interconnect using a unique hybrid blend of the finest 7N (99.99997%) high purity Single Crystal OCC silver and 6N (99.9997%) OCC copper conductors, each individually insulated with flexible PE and High Tech Teflon. The MAGIC Link Two represents the finest in signal transfer between your audio and video components and helps you fully recreate the "magic" of a recorded event in your home environment. Harmonic Technology's design team has spent a substantial amount of time and effort to research the most effective and innovative science and manufacturing process for the audio and video cable market. The culmination of this endless research has led to the introduction of Harmonic Technology's MAGIC Link Two - a truly reference model interconnect that delivers the highest level of system performance available. MAGIC Link Two will unleash all the "magic" within your entertainment system and allow it to perform at its fullest, and previously unattainable, potential.

AUDIOMACHINA MAESTROS

How revolutionary are the solid aluminum AudioMachina Maestros ? Here's the conclusion of their latest review by Robert H. Levi:

"The AudioMachina Maestros are clearly and truly the best imaging loudspeakers known to me. Revealing and neutral, they subtract nothing and add nothing. Definition is extraordinary and their level of performance is worth every penny of their five figure price. Will they yield the magical absolute sound? With today's finest amplification and sources, mostly tube I think, you will get fantastically close. With tomorrow's wonderful audiophile gear on the drawing board, the Maestros may hit the bulls-eye. They are a loudspeaker to grow with, to continuously maximize. Hey, that's what this adventure is all about. The AudioMachina Maestro: if you only want to consider the best loudspeakers in the world under $100,000, here's your very first loudspeaker to audition"

You absolutely need to come in and hear these wonders.

E.A.R. by LEGENDARY TIM DE PARAVICINI

E.A.R. is the brainchild of Tim de Paravicini, whose name has been associated since the 1970s with electronics of the highest fidelity. De Paravicini's innovative techniques have not only borne fruit in products for E.A.R., but in designs for some of the world's most highly regarded electronics manufacturers. Some of these designs have been continually prized--and sought--by discerning listeners for decades after their introduction.

Tim de Paravicini has also made unique contributions to the world of professional recording and mastering. Users of his tape recording systems, microphones, and other recording technology include performers Pink Floyd and Lenny Kravitz, and the Altarus and Water Lily record labels. One of the world's highest-ranked mastering facilities, The Exchange in London, uses two playback systems in which the entire chain--from tape machines and equalizers to cutter amplifiers and monitoring equipment--is E.A.R.-designed and built.

We carry the complete line and presently have the 890 tube amps on demo. Come in and hear something incredibly special in sound reproduction.

Marantz is legendary in the audio world and while the days of 1960s tube glory are alive again in some sepecial reissues like the MA-9S2 Reference Monaural Power Amplifier, the newest lines continue to collect awards. Reviews like: Viewed simply as a preamp this controller is close to state-of-the-art; considering that you also get a full multi-channel decoder and Audyssey processor it is almost ideal for a mixed music and theater system. - Tom Martin and The IS301 is at its very best for music playback, where the IS301’s innovative and portable Bluetooth handset lets you control playback directly from the iPod’s own user interface—an option not all competing docks allow.-Chris Martens and Add to this a refinement that matches the ritzy fit and finish and you're looking at one of the best sub-$5k integrated amps available. Very nicely done, Marantz! - Neil Gader ; SA-7S1/SC-7S2/MA-9S2 Flagship Reference System (7/1/2009)
..., and the level of sound quality should be able to keep even the fussiest audiophile happy. - Jeff Dorgay
