The reviews just keep rolling in this week! Next up, the brilliant Magneplanar LRS+ has received high praise from Paul Rigby - The Audiophile Man.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JczXsiiwrzk

Known for redefining what is possible at its price point, the LRS+ (Little Ribbon Speaker) has absolutely blown the critics away.

Paul was impressed by the speaker's signature ribbon clarity, lightning-fast transient response, and the massive, life-like soundstage that only true planar speakers can produce.

If you’ve ever wanted to experience that famous "wall of sound" where the speakers completely disappear into the room, the LRS+ is the ultimate entry point into high-end analogue realism.

We’ve had a fantastic week for reviews, kicked off by a brilliant feature on the new Advance Paris Paris A10 APEX by A British Audiophile!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe3n8OwAKWg

Highly impressed by the A10 APEX's hybrid design, combining the warmth of a valve preamp with the muscular dynamics of a 130W solid-state power amplifier.
Whether you are looking for exquisite detail retrieval, massive connectivity (including HDMI and an excellent phono stage), or that mesmerising glowing valve aesthetic, the APEX delivers a level of performance that punches well above its weight class.
