September 2012 — Kondo Overture Review

Written by Bob Visintainer

Latest: Kondo at Rhapsody Music & Cinema

What I can say is that the Kondo-Audio Note Overture is an extraordinary integrated amplifier. The one word that constantly came to mind was: purity. I can easily say that it is by far the best integrated design I've heard and certainly competes with the best separates.

Previous Updates: Acoustic System International

We are VERY PROUD to announce that we have been selected to represent the Acoustic System International (ASI) suite of products. ASI and its principal Franck Tchang offer a very special suite products, as well as groundbreaking technologies. Please take a look at Franck's offerings at FranckTchang.com or click on the Acoustic System International link from the drop down HiFI menu on this page. We are currently exploring the amazing capabilities of the "acoustic resonator" technology. We already have the acoustic resonators installed in our showroom and to say that we are "believers" in the technology is a vast understatement. One of the most interesting facets of the technology is how that it transcends the audio application area. Please give us a call if you would like additional information on any of the ASI offerings.

As you probably notice, we've also undertaken a website redesign. Our old site was getting unwieldy to update, especially since we're adding more products to our line card. We're also very excited to see that a top turntable manufacturer, Acoustic Signature has joined our suite of product offerings. We currently have the reference "Ascona" turntable in our Manhattan showroom.

Hot Item!

I thought about dividing this (Best of Show) award among several very worthy contenders, but the truth is that one speaker sounded more like the absolute sound than any of the others—and not by a small margin. That speaker is the new Raidho D1.

Testimonials

One of the most compelling attributes of my Goldmund system is that I can listen to music that I like, not only audiophile recordings, regardless of the quality of the recording, because even poorly recorded cd's sound incredible!

Specials

We currently are looking for a good home for our G2 Avantgarde Unos with light amber bronze horns and rosewood panels. We have a pair of Avantgarde G2 Duo Omega Mezzos arriving soon so we must make room in our Avantgarde listening room. If anyone has been contemplating Avantgarde horns this is a great opportunity to get a great deal on a mint condition demo pair of G2 Uno's WITH factory warranty. Please give us a call for further details.

We also have two very reasonably priced Goldmund demo sytems available at this time. One system is the Metis system, which includes Metis Telos powered speakers with a Metis preamp/SS processor. The other system is a Logos system with self powered speakers, a processor and two Logos self powered subs. Give us a call for further details.

Additionally we have great deals on other demo speakers, electronics and cables from Goldmund, Lipinski, Studio Electric and Nordost Odin. Please give us a call for special demo model pricing.
