We opened a new production facility

Our new production has been in operation for a few weeks, but last week we had a launch party to officially celebrate moving in.

The whole process has been months in the making and our team has been working hard to plan, organise and move to a much larger space not far from our offices. We are grateful for their motivation and effort.

This space allows us to expand our operations, which is necessary to accommodate the exponential growth of our business. Needless to say, we’re glad for the breathing space, with our production now spread over two sites.

We raise a glass to our team and this milestone.

Coltrane 3 SE review in Audio Art

We don’t know about you, but we love a good review, especially when it’s complimentary. Here’s another from Audio Art — this time for Coltrane 3 SE (Statement Edition).

Our people over at Soundray, Taiwan are confident about the review, and from what we’ve read, it is pretty favourable.  Here’s a short excerpt translated by Google.

“Let me start by saying that the Coltrane 3 SE’s sound performance is complete. Impress your body! Coltrane 3 SE has a very dense sound, High, transient response is fast, transparency is very high, empty. The feeling is very good. The contours of instruments and vocals are very stereo, high frequency, mid frequency and low frequency. Distinctive and refreshing features, the analysis of the string group is very powerful. The low-frequency soft Q is full, condensed and elastic, and the resolution is very strong. Quantity is very rich.“
