This is a translation of a recent comment in a magazine called concerning the exhibition in Göteborg / Sweden (see the magazine below..)

 

 

…. "The best impression was from the rooms in which we could enjoy good quality music. One of these rooms was the one of Audio Concept. They played a rather unusual setup incorporating a three way active speaker system. The high efficiency system from WLM (Wiener Lautsprecher Manufacture) consisted of a pair of satellites and one passive sub. There are no passive components in the satellites, thus an active filter is needed. The price for the total combination is a little above 100 000 sek.

To amplify this setup a quite unusual combination was used. A pair of monoamps from ASL - Cadenza - 60w was used to drive the midrange. The treble was driven by a class D amp –Clarity from the Swedish producer Audacia Audio. They have implemented the new ICE Power technology from B&O, which is their version of the new class D amps. Using 2 x 120W in 8 Ohm, there was no problems driving the trebles….

 

To drive the passive sub a Rotel RB-1080 was used in bridged mode, in which it delivers close to 400W. With a damping factor of 1000:1 it preserved complete control of the sub.

 

We definitely regard this room to belong to the best sounding rooms of the exhibition. We were standing for at least half an hour listening to music. Especially emotional was the parts in which the excellent Nordic Concept Artist turntable was used. Together with a Dynavector XX-2 pickup and Audio Concepts own tonearm design, the system played with excellent dynamics, huge spatial capacity and a highly homogenous base. We especially loved the jazz/swing records from the 50-60’ties"………
