System Audio added to Venus Hi-Fi's roster!

[BrianB]

Okay, I'll be the first to admit that System Audio simply doesn't ring a bell with most U.S. audiophiles. Indeed, the very name of the company sounds so generic that you would almost expect their products to be pretty lame and MOR.

However, these Danish speakers are nothing less than exceptional - not only do they sound terrific, but they are also incredibly affordable, and work well with all sorts of amps, from low-power SETs to high-power solid-state monoblocks. And I am VERY excited to become one of the the few U.S. dealers to carry this unique line.

whats the price range on these beauties? i like the looks of the sub...

[BrianB]

Hi smog,

System Audio offers a lot of different speakers, so I'm not going to post a complete price sheet here. But to give you an idea, here are the price ranges of their "standard" product lines:

1) Bookshelf speakers retail from $599 to $1799 per pair.

2) Floor standing speakers retail from $1199 to $2499 per pair.

3) Subwoofers retail from $1199 to $1499 each.

System Audio also has a couple of "elite" models that are significantly more expensive, but I'll be concentrating on the more affordable models...

Cheers,
Brian

P.S. I'll be bringing a pair of System Audio's SA-1750 tower speakers (retail = $2499/pair) to AK-Fest 2006. Most likely, I'll be driving them with a Manley Labs Stingray.

Cool I would like to hear these line arrays. What is the major difference between the 1750 and SA7K? Looks to me like their topology is the same.

Hi Wardsweb!

I am assuming that you are asking about the differences between the SA1750 and the SA1550, as the SA7K (System Audio's TOTL model) is so obviously different from anything else the company produces.

In comparison to the SA1550, the SA1750 offers a more robust cabinet design, along with a superior tweeter. There may also be some improvements in terms of the internal wiring and crossover, but please keep in mind that I am still in the process of familiarizing myself with the product line...

Yeah, I've been meaning to update my website for some time now - as it stands, nearly every page needs to be tweaked! Please check back in another three to four weeks (I'm hoping to have the updates made prior to AK-Fest).
