Just released by a famous Spanish company Audionostrum Titan loudspeakers system (the first in ”Monitor Luxury” series) based on characteristics of Jupiter speaker, but uses special “Studio Monitor” design.
Audionostrum Titan offers wider dynamic range, great sound stage and deeper bass response (from 25 Hz). The heart of the speakers is professional TAD drivers and external state-of-the-art crossover components (wired in air with Duelund and Mundorf components with precise adjustment and physically separated from the main cabinet).
Audionostrum Titan are designed in wooden cabinets with 3D printed horn systems. Due to their high sensitivity (97 dB at 1 Watt) and high impedance (8 Ohms), the speakers are suitable for both tube and transistor amplifiers with 15 – 300 Watts power on channel.

The SMSL company presented the SMSL VMV A1 Pro power amplifier - using lnfineon's latest GaN FET transistors, with a switching frequency of up to 1 MHz. Such unique circuitry guarantees, according to the company, absolutely natural sound and up to 400 W of output power.
Treehaus Audiolab has announced the Treehaus Audiolab LCR Phono reference vacuum tube phono preamplifier. To equalize the signal, the device uses only passive components: inductors (L), capacitors (C) and resistors (R).
Rotel DX-5 is a compact model, but despite its dimensions, the device does not use digital amplification and operates in class A/B, reaching 2 x 33 W into 4 Ohm load and 2 x 25 W into 8 Ohm speakers. The new product is equipped with a power supply based on a powerful toroidal transformer created by Rotel itself, and high-current transistors.
The Totaldac d1-total digital-to-analog converter has been introduced – according to the company, this device guarantees the maximum possible for a single-block design with external PSU. “Under the hood”, in addition to the d1-triunity DAC converter, there is also volume control, a network streamer (latest version developed for the d1-streamer-live), 40 femtoseconds oscillators, a microfilter USB loop (developed for the d1-streamer-live) and anti-vibration supports.
Japanese company Audio-Technica has announced the imminent opening of pre-orders for a limited edition of the innovative Audio-Technica Hotaru turntable (since May 30, 2025). The model will go on sale in October of this year at a price of $ 9,990 US - only 1000 turntables will be made.
