Two Speakers. One Chair. Nothing Between You and the Music.
A dedicated two-channel system, designed around the room and calibrated for natural, reference-quality sound.
Two-channel hi-fi is the simplest way to hear music properly: two speakers, one listening chair, and nothing between you and the music. We design the system around the room, from the source to the loudspeakers, and calibrate it for natural, reference-quality sound, then bring it onto the same control as the rest of the home.

The signal path, uninterrupted.
From the source to the chair, in one line, with nothing in the way.
The source
A streamer or a turntable, placed where it can be reached and never seen.
Conversion and gain
The signal is converted and controlled once, as cleanly as it can be.
Power
An amplifier with headroom to spare, in the rack or out of sight.
Two loudspeakers, toed in
Placed and angled to the room, not to the wall.
You
One chair, at the point where the two arrive together.
The listening triangle.
A room for listening is a piece of geometry before it is anything else.
Speakers 2.5 m apart
Far enough to make a stage, near enough to keep the centre solid.
Equal distance to the chair
Each speaker the same distance from the listener, so the image sits in the middle.
First reflection points treated
The early bounce off the side walls is softened, so the music stays clear.
Electronics out of sight
The rack lives elsewhere; the room holds only the speakers and the chair.
Light that dims with the music
One preset lowers the lights as the record begins.
Details worth the silence.
We specify the electronics to the room, not the other way round.
What we specify, and why.
Loudspeakers matched to the room's size
A speaker is chosen for the room it will play in, so scale and presence feel natural.
Amplification with headroom to spare
Power that never strains, so quiet passages stay quiet and loud ones stay clean.
Cabling and power, done once
Run and finished before the walls close, so nothing needs to be revisited.
Room measurement and placement
Measured and positioned with the room, then calibrated for natural, reference-quality sound.
Streaming at full resolution
Every source, from your phone, a keypad, a remote or a touch panel.
Everything on the same keypad as the lights
The listening room answers to the same interface as the lights and the shades.
The makers we bring to the room.
Three brands, each chosen for what it does best in a listening room.
Basalte Aalto and Miro
Aalto loudspeakers and the Miro control, designed with the same care as the room around them.
Rooms where the speaker is part of the furniture and the control is part of the wall.
Crestron Reference and Ultimate speakers
Reference and Ultimate speakers, driven by DM NAX amplification.
Listening rooms that sit inside a whole-home Crestron system.
Control4 speakers and amplifiers, built to order
Amplifiers and speakers made to be specified for the room.
Systems where the listening room joins the rest of the house.

What is a two-channel hi-fi system, and how is it different from whole-home audio?
Two speakers, one listening chair, and nothing between you and the music. A dedicated two-channel system is designed around the room and calibrated for natural, reference-quality sound, while whole-home audio carries music quietly to every room and across the terrace.
Can the hi-fi system be controlled with the rest of the home?
Yes. Every room and every source can be played from your phone, a keypad, a remote or a touch panel, so the listening room answers to the same interface as the lights and the shades.
