French Connection #2: $13,200 Atoll kicks this system off with its magnificent IN300 Signature Integrated amp. At $4500 it includes a built in DAC and competes with any integrated at any price. It’s made in France with a 3 year warranty. Let’s add Atoll’s phenomenal DR100 CD Transport for only $1200, also made in France with 3 year warranty. While we’re fine…

The results are mind blowing! With just a few hours on it the BR 19 is easily the best analog preamp I have ever heard under $15,000.00 and is better than some at $20,000. While the BP 26/MPS 2 combination has always impressed with its “doing nothing to the signal” approach the new BP-19 is simply better in all aspects…

There are many ways to listen to music. CD is still my favorite format. They can sound GREAT and there’s no muss, no fuss. Your sound depends on how the master recording was made, and ultimately turned into a CD. Assuming the company used an original master and did the work with TLC, your CDs should sound FABULOUS. There’s no cleaning of…

These speakers are just awesome! The benefit of better sound wave distribution is obvious. In particular, the bass is really impressive at high and low volumes. The peaks and dip in different parts of the room are less noticeable. And in a bass-heavy passage, the mids and highs are clear and stand out from the rest in a superb way…

We received our first batch of Atoll (made in France with 3 year warranty) gear in April. I focused on the entry level integrated amps right away. Wow! They are CLASS BUSTING! Atoll handily surpasses its like price, Chinese competitors. The brawn… weight and horse power they bring to the party at unusually fair pricing is absolutely unique in our industry. I’m…

Currently I’m sitting with the musician who wrote this song. He is now listening on A complete Bryston setup. He is a tube guitar amp nerd. But he loves that the sound of Bryston as it is accurate to what the musician intended…

Audio Emporium welcomes Atoll Electronique. Atoll makes a fantastic, innovative line of gear that carries a 3 year warranty. And yes, the gear is MADE in France. Atoll has a highly intelligent, formulaic design. Atoll delivers music with testosterone, as well as a rhythm and pace that makes the mass imports sound puny.

Hi-Fi is a great hobby. Putting musicians in your living room for an intimate performance at your whim is absolutely a thrill! How spoiled we are… to be able to update and refine our aural experience along the way. As we have more money and awareness of the thousands of possibilities out there, we can bring even more FUN to our interaction…

The full sized T10 are beautiful but do not suit my room. But these Trim T10 are suitable for it for sure! I was dreaming about some previous Model T Classic speakers for my room but I never made it. But now that I heard these Trim T, I’m 100% sure I want them…

Atoll CD200 CD Player $2950 (3.75h, 17.32w, 12d, 16 lbs) Made in France With Three Year Warranty! I’m an unabashed fan of the CD format. It’s my favorite way to listen to music. I’m fine with vinyl in small doses, but it doesn’t serve the classical piano music I enjoy most. You can’t enjoy the intimate nuance of Chopin through a hail…

Let’s evaluate what you get for your money. Bryston gives you A LOT for your investment! I’ve been complaining how Chinese mass production has taken over the market. There are hundreds of speakers coming out of various job houses over there with different names on them, like labeling golf shirts. I am picking on Martin Logan here because they were reviewed thoroughly…
