FSI 2008

Red Red Wine

Red Wine Audio has been expanding their range of battery-powered audio electronics: they have the Isabella preamp, with optional built-in DAC; Signature 30.2 power amplifier, with optional volume control, and Signature 70.2 monoblock amplifiers. The system at FSI used Omega Super Hemp speakers, which use a driver that in the version demoed at the show was equipped with an Alnico magnet structure, and it sounded very nice indeed.

This was clearly one of my favorite rooms regardless of price at the last 3 audio shows with the new redwine amps-now a pre-dac and the Alnico driverfrom Omega loudspeakers imaging was rich layered with a huge soundstage a tough act to follow for competition and none at this price point IMHO.

I second that the Omega loudspeakers seemed to me even better this year maybe the Alnico magnets do make a big difference. I did not even know there was a subwoofer untll it was pointed out it was fast and seamless .
