The design, craftsmanship and audio quality across every component in the Elite Package is top-tier. We chose each element in this group with the most discerning listener in mind. Don’t want to compromise? Then this package is for you.
Speakers: KEF R5
Why we chose it: The KEF R5s produce stunning levels of detail. Every material, dimension, and component have been exhaustively designed, auditioned, and refined resulting in over 1,000 changes from the last model. The R5 brings the features and technology of the extreme high-end to a more affordable package delivering a transparent and uncolored sound that leaves nothing to be desired.
Turntable: Clearaudio Concept
Why we chose it: The Clearaudio Concept is an elegantly styled turntable featuring a level of technology usually only found in turntables 5x the price. Made in Germany, every aspect of this turntable is crafted to exacting specification and all parameters, even the tracking and anti-skating force, are adjusted in the factory for optimal out-of-the-box performance.
Amplifier: Yamaha A-S1200
Why we chose it: First of all, we love the look of this amplifier. The build quality and classic aesthetic with large, illuminated level meters makes this amplifier a stand-out. Yamaha has been engineering audio products for over a century, and A-S1200 provides superior audio quality and power with 90 watts per channel which makes those KEFs sing.
Elite speaker cable
Why we chose it: The Elite Speaker Cables were specified for this speaker package by Symbol Audio and feature 12 AWG wires each comprised of 60 strands of 30 AWG commercial grade annealed copper for excellent signal transmission. Our elite cables are covered in a premium nylon braiding and are terminated with gold-plated locking banana plugs that expand into terminal for improved contact area. Each cable is 10 ft long and hand assembled to order.
