In the first of a raft of upgrades to our reference cinema demonstration suite we are pleased to announce that a new 125" wide SMX ProLine CinemaScope screen is now on show. Moving to a true 2.35:1 CinemaScope display creates a truly immersive cinematic experience; allowing you to view a film as the director intended - an experience that has to be seen to be believed.

Coupling this new format with the latest SMX CineWeave HD projection surface, with its impeccable colour reproduction, sound transmission and 3D imaging qualities, pulls you into the film like never before.
The SMX ProLine on show with the JVC DLA-HD950 and reference level HD990 projectors and can be auditioned by request, so please call or email to book a demonstration today.

***Coming soon to further improve the visual dynamic is a Schneider Optics Motorised Cine Digitar Anamorph 1.33X M CinemaScope lens system for the JVC DLA-HD990 projector.***

Hot on the heels of the new SMX CinemaScope screen we welcome the ADA Suite 7.1 HD audio processor to our cinema demonstration facilities. This reference quality processor handles all the latest HD audio formats with absolute ease and uses its proprietary on board custom EQ system to tame awkward rooms and improve even the most acoustically friendly environments.

Adding new levels of customization to greater enhance the cinematic sound experience.
The Suite 7.1 HD is currently running with our Genelec active speaker system and can be auditioned by request, so please call or email to book your opportunity.

The now famous annual Bristol Show continues to pull in the crowds and 2010 has been no exception; with some of the very best of British hi-fi leading the way.

Naim Audio

Following hot on the heals of the Uniti, the new Naim Uniti Qute offers a pint-pot sized variant with a similar feel and favour. This remarkably compact all-in-one micro wonder will stream audio via UPnP, offers internet radio alongside the obligatory FM / DAB variants, internal amplification based on the award winning Naim Nait 5i-2, as well as catering for the connection of the ubiquitous iPod and solid-state audio via USB... all this and that renowned Naim audio quality... what more could you ask for!?

Arcam

Arcam were proudly demonstrating their flagship AV products in the form of the AV500 and AV600 receivers and the of course the reference AV888 and P777 AV processor / power amp combination. As always these gorgeous units were generating some class leading sound for AV equipment and sounded good enough to put many a two-channel product to shame. But perhaps the most interesting aspect was a hidden little Arcam gem in the form of a new prototype wireless DAC. When we get a functioning unit available for testing, we will put it through its paces and let you know.

Rega

Rega were of course making a large fuss over their new reference CD player / amplifier combination in the for of the ISIS and OSIRIS; a pair of stealthily black units with striking red displays and built into absolutely bomb-proof casework. They sounding simply stunning and clearly grabbed the attention of those passing by the open demo room door; with dynamic ease they thundered through a lighting fast orchestral piece with huge bravado with seemingly endless headroom (impressive considering the room size) and yet equally impressive with quieter passages. Clearly these two products deserve further investigation and have been made with a large dose of both talent and love... looking forward to having them premier in the shop in the not too distant future.

Dynaudio

A recent addition to PJ, Dynaudio were making all the right noises in their dedicated demonstration room; proving just how good a small speaker can be! Powered on the day by Chord Electronics, the music was always highly musical and always cleanly resolved. The Dynaudio's sounded transparent and engaging without ever straying into becoming fatiguing; a typical Dynaudio presentation and one I could have quite happily listened to all day truth be told! Arguably our personal favourite at PJ presently is the incredible Focus 110, which continues to wow us for both stereo and AV use... pop in and take a listen!

After much anticipation and a great deal of excitement, PJ Hi-Fi were delighted to take delivery yesterday of the brand new Naim S-600 loudspeaker design - the revolutionary 'OVATOR' featuring a unique BMR driver arrangement developed exclusively by Naim Audio.

The 'OVATOR S-600' represents a turning point in Naim's loudspeaker designs and introduces what is certain to be a completely new range of BMR equipped units. This particular featured driver has been long in development at Naim HQ, being of proprietary design and of great technical complexity. The BMR driver is in part a hybrid flat panel driver that demonstrates pistonic action at a certain frequency and does away with the traditional high frequency 'tweeter' drivers of old and their inherent limitations. Offering instead greatly improved bandwidth, completely smooth frequency response and far greater successful integration with other mid/bass drivers.

The results are quite simply sensational and, as proved at our recent Naim Roadshow where the 'OVATORS' were put well and truly through their paces, this is a speaker of considerable talent and enviable quality; surely the 'OVATOR S-600' represents a complete quantum shift forward in terms of both design philosophy and technical implementation - establishing Naim Audio as a true market-leader with the introduction of the world's first high-end speaker design featuring bespoke BMR driver technology.

Our demonstration pair of 'OVATORS' in their striking black zebrano finish have now taken residence in our purpose built demonstration room, being fed by some equally delightful Naim Audio electronics... naturally. As one of the few exclusive stockists in the UK, PJ Hi-Fi invites you to be amongst the very first to hear this enthralling speaker in action!

Call today to book a demonstration appointment, or just pop by and take a listen - it may well change the way you think about your music!

Rega are a company that takes their source components seriously, having built a dedicated following for their no nonsense turntable and CD player designs.

Offering instead a sound that is both sophisticated and refined; capturing a flavour that harks back to the best of analogue reproduction by presenting the music in a clean and melodic fashion that reminds us of Rega's own highly praised turntables.

The Apollo represents the quintessential Rega sound whilst the Saturn's no compromise approach extends this envelope still further. As such both these Rega's offer exceptional value for money and are simply a 'must-have' for any music enthusiast.

Available NOW whilst stocks last:

Rega Apollo CD Player  - WAS £598 / NOW ONLY £475

Neat Acoustics have long held a fond place in our hearts here at PJ Hi-Fi due to their endlessly enjoyable and highly musical loudspeaker designs; a view that has only been strengthened by their latest speaker offering, the Elite-SX.

Sitting between the delightful Motive series and the phenomenal Momentum series, there has been a gap in Neat's arsenal that demanded a high quality yet compact floorstander; a place that has now admirably been filled by this new sonic champion.

Unlike most bass reflex designs, the Elite-SX incorporates an innovative staggered port tuning design. This carefully judged system delivers a very convincing full-bodied bass performance, far more impressive than might be expected for such a small enclosure. The cabinet is raised above a plinth of solid slate, chosen for its superior bass control and midrange precision.

The main drive unit is unchanged, but the tweeter used in the SX is a soft-fabric dome type with internal damping and a non-resonant chamber. This tweeter's strengths of superb dynamic contrast and accurate tonal colour are well matched to those of the main drive unit.

The Elite-SX takes up less space than a small standmount speaker on a stand. It can also be positioned very close to room boundaries, making it highly adaptable and versatile in use.

Call in today to take a listen to these small wonders, it could be just the tonic your Hi-Fi has been looking for!

Hi-Fi furniture doesn't always get the recognition it deserves for it's ability to influence the final performance of your audio equipment. Quite possibly because of the dubious claims made by so many third-rate manufacturers who promise so much, but fail to deliver. So let's put the record straight once and for all and tell you about the fabulous new Sunuko-Vent T stand from Quadraspire; an equipment support that truly sounds as good as it looks and deserves rightful recognition.

Rarely has a hi-fi stand received so much thought and consideration in the pursuit of a design that can dissipate structural vibration in the most effective way possible, thereby allowing the equipment it supports to perform at its optimum level; and all this with one eye kept firmly focused upon keeping the aesthetics and finish of the highest order! A quick listen has shown us that Quadraspire have indeed excelled themselves and produced a truly remarkable piece of audio design that is deserving of housing your stereo whilst simultaneously improving its performance - It really does enhance the sound quality of your system in all areas and must be heard to be fully appreciated. So drop by today and see what a difference a stand makes!

Available in over 6 different finishes, the Sunoko-Vent T equipment support is available now at a cost of £200 per level. Its modular design allows for more shelves to be added as you equipment grows or changes.

For further information call T. 01483 504801 or view www.quadraspire.co.uk

Wilson Benesch have continued to remain active in regards to speaker designs that fall within their 'wide bandwidth' range, the first of which was the incredible 'Trinity' stand-mount model featuring the 'Sphere' super HF driver unique to Wilson Benesch. The 'Trinity' was designed to work in partnership with the 'Torus' Infrasonic Generator (dedicated Wilson Benesch subwoofer) in order to cover the widest possible frequency spectrum, however this necessitated the utilisation of several units working together to effectively achieve a singular result. With this in mind the engineers turned their attention towards the natural successor to this 'wide bandwidth' philosophy and focused upon a far more focused implementation - the quintessentially Wilson Benesch 'A.C.T' floor-standing loudspeaker; a design that up until this point had not yet embraced the advances pioneered by the 'Trinity'.

Enter the A.C.T C60 in standard and special limited editions; a speaker that pushes the boundaries of loudspeaker design and truly looks as good as it sounds... which is simply magical since you ask! This speaker really does have everything going for it, with a presence and naturalness that is as effortless as it is sublime. Macro and micro scale dynamics are handled with huge confidence and rhythm and timing is as assured as any one with their finger on the pulse could wish for. It has bags of musicality, acres of breathing space and digs deeper into your recording than you ever thought possible! If sheer musical involvement could be bottled and made available to all, it would surely come in a package that looks like an A.C.T C60!

Call for more details or to book and demonstration of this phenomenal loudspeaker.

Slipping in under the radar and following on from their recently introduced 'Servo Evolution' CD player developments, Cyrus Audio has been hard at work improving its dedicated amplifier range. What they have produced is a brand new line of amplifiers that cater for the even the most demanding of modern customers; with significant increases in the levels of performance on offer and an almost limitless ability to connect anything and everything you could possibly ask for! - the new 'XP' series has arrived.

The 'XP' range is built up of new Pre, 6 and 8 series components all of which have benefited from a complete redesign from the ground up. The new 'XP' amplifiers now include many new features such a second zone output, digital input switching, USB computer connectivity, on-board DAC's and even more power. Incredibly they also now consume a fraction of the standby power of the previous models and gain the user-friendly LCD user interface from the DAC XP.

The inclusion of a fantastic quality on-board DAC (which can be improved still further with the addition of a Qx DAC module on the 8 series) allows for digital devices to be simply and easily connected directly to the amplifier, without the need for additional boxes; thus keeping the impact of your hi-fi on your environment to an absolute minimum... a blessing I'm sure to those who desire order rather than clutter in their living room!

These amplifiers continue a long line of successful Cyrus designs, which display all the same virtues which made their predecessors so desirable - a rock solid and tangible musical presence, full of life and vitality that engages you so completely with the musical performance that they will have you playing music into the early hours!

As with the 'SE' players before, the new 'XP' series seeks only to confirm Cyrus' position as one of the most forward thinking British hi-fi manufactures operating today. They continue to create stunning yet simple designs that provide music of epic proportions from one or two tiny little boxes - wonderful!

Pop in and take a listen to just how good these 'singing-shoeboxes' can be!

Things have been busy in Salisbury recently as Naim Audio have set about reinventing a classic. Spurred on no doubt by the hugely successful Nait XS integrated amplifier, the design and engineering team at Naim have pulled out all the stops in their attempt to extensively rework the ever popular 'x' series. The resulting 'XS' series is something truly special and genuinely establishes a new mid-level performance benchmark for Naim.

The revisions lavished upon the 'XS' series can only be described as extensive, stretching well beyond the improved anodised front panels and featuring many new performance critical enhancements. These include heavily revised circuit topologies, performance 4 layer PCB's with revised signal paths, new voltage efficient display boards and fully regulated power supplies featuring separate windings, amongst others! In short, wherever improvements can be made, Naim have done exactly that! Even to the extent that the new CD5 XS features a Naim approved digital output, in readiness surely for the much-anticipated Naim stand-alone DAC!

The products have already been scrutinised by the PJ team and the results have already been nothing short of stunning; so much so in fact that many a staff member has been found glued to a sofa in our listening rooms and has had to be forcibly removed in order that other more pressing duties can be attended too!

The range features the following new products:

Naim CD5 XS
Naim NAT05 XS FM Tuner
Naim Nait XS Integrated Amplifier
Naim NAC 152 XS Pre-amplifier
Naim NAP 155 XS Power Amplifier
Naim FlatCap XS Power Supply

Call in for a demonstration today and hear for yourself why we love these products so much!

Naim has time and time again staked its reputation on achieving first class sound without compromise, a feat made all the more difficult when pursuing the design of a multifunction product in a single box.

Perhaps you would like to listen to that live radio concert broadcast you've been waiting for, keep apprised of the latest news via the local stations or the BBC World Service; maybe you wish to enhance the audio from your TV or indeed connect any other source you can possibly think of via one of the 5 analogue inputs. Better still why not connect your other equipment via one of the 4 digital inputs provided and take advantage of the Uniti's superior onboard DAC - the possibilities are truly endless!

Pop in store today and you will be amazed at how good one box can really sound!
