Virtue Audio, Lenehan Audio.

JAS Audio

GSP Audio (Graham Slee Projects). Big bang for the buck. Sounds almost as good as the very best.

Yarland. A great way to start your audiophlie obsession. Thirty class-A watts, for under $1000.

Magico

Abbingdon Music Research

Magico

Magico, YG Acoustics.

It's too soon to tell. There are too many companies selling more hype than substance now, anyway.

JSE for the Infinite Slope speakers.

Rogue Audio

Zu Audio looks very promising. I hope they're well capitalized.

Although not exactly new, Adam Professional Audio and the company's push from the studio into home audio.

Hansen Audio's speakers. I heard them at the RMAF two years ago. Stunning!

PrimaLuna

NuForce looks interesting. Slim Devices has potential—or at least they did before the Borg got them.

First Watt is slightly new. Like a separate department of Nelson Pass' Pass Laboratories and Pass DIY. The amps don't sound much like most solid-state amplifiers. A little like the best solid-state amps and best tube amps, but partly different again, depending on the model.

Resolution Audio and NuForce. But NuForce is really a bad name.

Astin Trew, no doubt about it.

Hegel Music Systems

While not especially new, it does, for me, represent a valid direction for the future of great sound: Zu Audio.

Magico

Emotiva, Peachtree Audio, Wyred 4 Sound.

Zu Audio speakers, WLM speakers and tube amps, Trafomatic tube amps from Serbia, Abbingdon Music Research.

I think Emotiva has the best products for the best price.

NuForce

Sooloos

Advance Acoustics (France)

Peachtree

I really enjoy my Peachtree Audio Decco and think the new Nova sounds great too.
