"... The Audiomat Aria is just a simple tube amp. But is the fantastic achievement of fine-tuning by Audiomat that makes it one of the most expressive devices that I have ever heard. "

Soundstage November 1999 - Audiomat Arpège Integrated Amplifier

"Yes, I'm impressed, enough to make the Arpège only the second component I've recommended for a Reviewers' Choice award. Considering the level of performance, I find the Arpège's price tag ridiculously inexpensive. It's a big-time best buy."

"Those who, like the author of an old love to manufacture products cherishes and anyway is a friend of the integrated tube integrated amplifier, the sound is anything but soft flushes, reproduced rather very expansive and musically, which should really listen to this once French. The right speaker is of the utmost importance. ... "

Audioplan PowerSystem: PowerStar S / FineFilter S

….. Most components that don't provide that initial WOW factor from the start and are laced with subtleties throughout generally only make their true presence felt after they depart and the Audioplan pair did exactly that when I took them out of my system. The palpable weight and strength in the bass departed with them, so did the top end detail resolution, as did the midrange power, in fact the system sounded a tad thin and anaemic afterwards and that was with my resident mains conditioner installed once more.

It takes living with them full time to appreciate their true worth and if there is any doubt, then I suggest disconnecting them for an hour or so to prove that point unequivocally. For that reason I give a full and deserved recommendation.

The Kontrast V

The Kontrast V loudspeaker is such a loveable speaker and I've been lucky enough to have it for quite a while now. Do I want it to leave? Absolutely not, both technically and musically I have found it to exceed my expectations, not just for a two way design, but as a speaker at this price. They offer great dynamics, detail, imaging and fantastic timbre among other things. Not only this, but they are built like tanks and have tuning options to perfect the sound for you.
Yes, they are a little soft right at the top and with a sound slightly on the warm side of neutral they aren't for everyone, but they are without doubt one of my favourite speakers to listen to at this price. Great work Audioplan!

HiFi Choice 2010 February 2010 - Kontrapunkt Loudspeakers

"…the midband, presence, voicing and coherence are about as good as it gets. The Kontrapunkt possesses quite wonderful stereo image, precision and focus that really sets this small speaker apart from the herd." Awarded BEST BUY.

HiFi Plus July 2009 - Kontrast Loudspeakers

"The Kontrast is extremely textured and tonally expansive. I crave resolution and an explicit characterisation of instrumental nuance and tonal flavour and this is also one of the speaker's major strengths. I was completely won over by their musical attractions."

Symphonic Line RG14 Edition Integrated amplifer

With prices starting at just £2400 in the UK, the RG14 is a real glimpse into high end integrated amps. If you have a great source and set of suitably oomph hungry speakers then this amp will bring you closer to your music, it will make you feel involved and connected. It makes you want to get your vinyl collection spinning and you can't help but get lost in the music. If you prefer a clinical, analytical sound with super sparkle up top then it's not going to be for you, but for a musical experience it is very good. It's really impressed me how everything it sets out to do and be, gets done really well and you can't really ask for more than that.

Inearspace The RG14 Edition is an amplifier that wears its heart on its sleeve. It is not the prettiest amp out there but like a good woman /wife, beauty is only skin deep. I have found in life it is the person within that matters not the exterior appearance. Beauty fades with time and can be fickle. The RG14 Edition is similar. It might not win Miss World in a beauty competition but it sure has fantastic qualities under its skin that are timeless and don't fade away. I felt it would be there for you years and years down the line just like a good marriage. If all the rest of Symphonic Lines products are as good as this, and I have no reason to doubt that, then they deserve to continue to do well, and the UK now has another fine product range to choose from.
