…………

The PMC speakers have a range named the ‘twenty’ series, touted to be the next generation of elegant, handcrafted British loudspeakers that follow in the lineage of world-wide acclaimed PMC designs.

The holistic model philosophy is such that all of the elements have a bearing over sonic and dynamic type of loudspeaker.

Every component utilized is judged for sound quality and longevity; you won’t find a greater performing product elsewhere. The series are aptly known as in line with the brand. The four speakers are:

• twenty.21 has significantly more dynamic grip and depth of bass than any other speaker of this size.
• twenty.22 conveys music in its purest form by utilising ATL technology, which provides a high degree of control over an extensive frequency.
• twenty.23 is an open, engaging and communicative loudspeaker.
• twenty.24 has the ability to project the full scale of the recording in a larger room with complete authority and accuracy.

AV Designs will also be showcasing the twenty.c matching centre speaker to suit the range of speakers which are shown there from PMC.

The other products featured are within the Bryston brand. These Canadian-made speakers and amplifiers pack a punch to create amazing sound. AV Designs will be showcasing its 3 latest products at the show:

• The BHA-1 is Bryston’s amplifier solution for the finest listening experience from your headphones. The BHA-1 is compatible with both traditional (single-ended) and balanced headphones. The advantage of powering each headphone driver (right and left) with two amplifiers configured in balanced or series mode is a doubling of the signal voltage to each speaker. This is an audiophile-grade amplifier for music lovers looking to get the best sound.

• The B-135 55T22 Integrated Amplifier is one of the most sonically transparent and reliable audio products available. It offers performance levels equal to the finest separate audio components. This unit will be on display only.

• The SP-3 preamp processor is first and foremost an audio product, unlike most processors that have been designed to emphasise features over sonic performance. This product will be on demo during the fair.

Also during the show, AV Designs will be showcasing these products and projecting amazing quality images/movies on a 140in curved widescreen, using a 2.35 format

which is similar to watching a movie in the cinema. For more information on the products and other brands available at AV Designs, call 03-2171 2828.
