Reviews for WADAX Studio Player
Reviews, dealer reports and customer testimonials are coming through thick and fast for the eagerly awaited Wadax Studio Player one box digital source. Firstly, and good news for the Wadax brand as a whole here in the UK, England's premier high end dealer KJ West One have voted with their feet after extensive trials and followed Lotus in going all in with Wadax. They have been bowled over by the Studio Player and are quickly amassing sales after very fast and easy customer demonstrations. Their own demonstration Wadax Atlantis Reference equipment is also soon to be delivered and will [...]
SOULNOTE INCOMING
We first engaged with Soulnote in the Spring of 2023 when our good friends and UK importers Kog Audio lent us a small, humble and modestly priced integrated amplifier named the A2. At under £7000, significantly less than our offerings from Thrax and Vitus, we didn’t expect too much but you can probably guess the storyline from here; we were so impressed or indeed startled by what the unit could do, that we vowed to investigate the brand more deeply at some point. Here we are then ,over 12 months on, and we proudly bring you the very best [...]

LOTUS SUMMER 2024 NEWSLETTER
TIDAL AUDIO - Summer showcase We are now up and running with our G3 demo models of both Contriva and Piano floorstanders which were launched at Munich last year. Jorn at the team at Koln have moved the performance of these two exquisite loudspeakers even further. Piano G3 are a much more complete speaker than the outgoing G2 with astonishing levels of bass response and low end transparency, especially for such a modest driver array. Contriva G3 are now so open and neutral that they are nipping on the heels of the mighty Akira. For the summer [...]

THRAX SIRENS – Stereophile Review
Our very own Martin Colloms has penned a superb account of the Thrax Sirens bookshelf loudspeakers which have made such a big hit here in the last 6 months and were the subject of one of my most recent 2024 Suggested Systems. The review was for Stereophile and is an exhaustive one with some great listening impressions using examples. “Once fully planted, the Sirens sounded exceptionally natural and were consistent with respect to timbre and voice, which changed very little with either loudness or program density/complexity—a highly valued behavior consonant with low inherent distortion.” [...]
TIDAL PIANO G3 – on demo
Our Tidal Piano G3 demonstrators have arrived in beautiful cloud macassar wood veneer. The G3 premiered at Munich 2023 and represent the latest updated iteration of the Tidal Piano which has been in existence since the company's inception. Many things have been written about the predecessor Piano G2, and yet the all new Piano G3 model moves the limits of this concept even further. Absolute quality and purity but in an entry loudspeaker. The G3 come with new drivers, new cabinet sizing and decoration and newly designed polished steel piano bar footers. The [...]
HIFISTAY AT LOTUS

Absolute Point, Stella 80T Swing and Centum IX all available now for demo. The stunning equipment racks will come this summer. Regular customers will know that we are fans of ingenuity that comes out of South Korea. Like Hemingway Cables, HifiStay is another Seoul based outfit who [...]
