Magnat has introduced a new line of Signature acoustics, the series includes three models: two floorstanding ones – Signature 809 and 607, as well as a bookshelf Signature 603. The manufacturer assures that each model is ideally combined with the Signature Center Pro, Atmos ATM 202 acoustics and the Omega CS12 subwoofer, which allows using the speakers both in stereo mode and in the format of multi-channel installations for home theater.
New Magnat Signature series opretaes a patented combination of a pair of high-frequency drivers, consisting of an fmax dome tweeter and a dome super tweeter, which allows expanding the frequency range to 50 kHz. The diffusers of the midrange/low-frequency drivers are made using the proprietary 3L technology. The combination of ceramic and aluminum minimizes unwanted resonances, delivering deep bass and precise midrange frequencies. Each driver is optimized using Klippel technology, a pioneering measurement tool.
The speaker cabinets are made of fiberboard, and the crossovers with 24 dB slope filters ensure precise frequency alignment of the drivers. The dual Airflex ports of the 809 and 607 models provide precise bass response.
Recommended retail prices for Magnat Signature Series loudspeakers in Europe:
Magnat Signature 809 – €2,600 per pair;
Magnat Signature 607 – €1,700 per pair;
Magnat Signature 603 – €650 per pair.

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.
PS Audio has released a line of new components - The Paul McGowan Signature Series, which includes a preamp, DAC, disk transport and phonostage. All components feature innovative circuitry and offer impressive performance.
