Linn Hi-Fi  
A match made in heaven. More than 30 years ago, Linn was founded with the same clear purpose as Gifted Listener Audio: to reproduce, through superior sound, the thrills and emotion of a live performance.

Today, Linn is recognized as the world-leader in pitch-accurate sound reproduction, and Linn entertainment systems can be found throughout the world in royal residences, luxury homes, performance automobiles and the world's finest superyachts.

Just like Gifted Listener Audio, Linn and its range of products have grown because this commitment to quality and accurate performance has remained constant. Gifted Listener Audio is among a handful of the most successful and fully equipped Linn retailers because of our ability to demonstrate, install, and service the complete range of products.

CLASSIK Movie

The new CLASSIK Movie is the best one-box home theatre system to date, delivering the most amazing movie and music experience in your home. Unlike other single-box affairs, this is a serious piece of audio and video equipment, designed for excellence today and future expansion as your requirements grow. Combine it with Komponent speaker system in stereo or 5.1 configuration and see how simple and carefree life can be.

   
MAJIK

On display now: The new MAJIK system, a two-channel music system comprising the MAJIK CD player, MAJIK KONTROL pre-amplifier and MAJIK 2100 power amplifier, was just awarded the prestigious 'European High End Audio Product 2006-2007', but you really should hear it for yourself.

   


 
   
Rarely, very rarely, are we presented with a new speaker that thrills the way this one did from very moment Piega brought it to us for our consideration. Tonal purity and wide dynamic range, and control, combined in a way I have not heard before. Piega says it’s a because of their hand-crafted extruded aluminum and aluminum sand cast housings, finished to perfection, resulting in optimum damping and therefore low coloration. The first thing you will notice after the beautiful finish is the unique coaxial ribbon midrange and tweeter. We already knew that ribbons are great for sound. Piega has engineered a ribbon tweeter and ribbon midrange into one unit forming a single acoustic center. Does this matter? Just listen.
 
Ayre  

Since the legendary V3 power amp arrived in 1994, we have been keeping Washington area music lovers happy by employing Ayre components to make beautiful music in their homes. Ayre designs and builds superior quality, award winning audio and video equipment in their factory in Boulder Colorado. Fully American made, as the best usually is, but Ayre is recognized worldwide as a leader in the industry.

Visit us today to see and hear how the full line of Ayre audio and video components sets new standards in innovation, design, and performance.



 
Here’s something special that we find very appealing in this day and age of hype and overbuilt, overpackaged products. Magnepan has been manufacturing innovative, world-class stereo speakers since 1969. Truly unique produces, these are made by hand, still, by frugal Minnesotans who won't waste your money on frills. Today Magnepan makes a full range of speakers suitable for home theater aficionados and music lovers.


 

Firmly established as a first tier supplier of components for the home enthusiast. Today, more than three decades after the company’s inception, Mark Levinson continues to expand the horizons of audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts with components and systems that define accuracy, reliability, and enjoyment.

Mark Levinson.  Since 1972.  The same name.  The same enduring standards.  The same extraordinary level of satisfaction.



 
Rotel electronics have been a favorite of Gifted Listeners for nearly two decades now. Their DVD and CD players, preamplifiers, surround sound processors, power amplifiers, receivers come from a 40 year old organization dedicated to the design and manufacture of the finest in affordable, high performance home theater and high fidelity components. Rotel uses the word “manufacture” advisedly. They make everything from core components to complete products themselves. In their own factories. Under their own control. Does this matter? Yes, if you want your music to sound the same five or ten years from now. Some “affordable” electronics sound good out of the box (sometimes), but are in the repair shop a year or two later. This is why Rotel is here and the others have gone.


 
Rega is a company that enjoys being different. Everything they make is geared toward fulfilling their stated mission, "to make high quality products that faithfully reproduce music and sell at sensible prices." We think you will be pleasantly surprised when you hear how enjoyable even the simplest, lowest-priced system by Rega can be.

Apollo CD player


Last year, Rega proudly announced that a five year R&D project culminated in a totally new CD player, the Apollo, Rega knew that following the successful, long standing and much loved Planet CD player was always going to be a touch act. However, listening tests show that they've done it and then some. You've seen it in the magazines, now come give it a listen for yourself.
 

Few companies can satisfy the demands of the pro market, where sheer power and ultra-reliability are paramount, as well the demands of music lovers like us, who insist on transparency and tonal correctness. This is exactly what Bryston has been doing that for nearly 40 years.

C Series SST and SP2 System Controller

The new C Series SST amplifiers and the stunning new SP2 multi-channel system controller are always on display.

 




 
   
Like us, VTL believes that a passion for music is passion for life. Music expresses our being, in all of its individuality. Music creates our sense of "place."

The essence of VTL is the marriage of music and technology, expressed in elegant design, attention to detail, value, and reliability. Their goal is to make the experience of music come alive for you. Our ears tell us that they have succeeded.


 
   
Come hear the long-awaited CS3.7, a 3-way floor standing speaker that utilizes all newly developed drivers. A very high output 1-inch tweeter is coincidently mounted in the center of a 5-inch midrange that incorporates a new ribbed diaphragm geometry. "The new midrange driver diaphragm technology allows unprecedented purity and sweetness of midrange reproduction," says designer, Jim Thiel. "The entire sonic spectrum is completely uncolored by any resonances, ringing, or energy storage from either the midrange or tweeter diaphragms."

From the ultra-compact Q108 to the beautiful new Britannia series, REL designs share the same philosophy, and the highest standards of construction. If you are contemplating adding a sub-bass system to your audio/video system, the answer is REL and Gifted Listener Audio can help you select the right one.
