The Klimax keeps everything surgically timed and controlled. The Makalus horn opens the room up and lets it breathe.

Together: dynamics that arrive before you expect them. Bass that doesn't announce itself, it lands. A midrange that sits where the voice actually lives. And a top end with the kind of air and presence you usually only get standing in front of something live.

Efficient speakers and a source-first stack. The Linn never has to work hard. That's when it gets interesting.

JBL & Linn. A Match made at our Experience Center.

That old woman sweeping the street — Billy felt sorry for her. His father didn't.
"She has a job. She feels useful. She has a place in our society."
That's the line that became Vienna.
HIGH END is moving there this week for the first time in 40 years.
We'll be in the room.
And we are taking you along for the behind the scenes.

Some projectors fill a wall. The Barco Heimdall fills a room.
8K laser. Cinema-grade optics. Built by the company that lights the world's best theaters — now in Burbank at the Seattle Experience Center.

This is what we had in mind when we installed the shootout lab. Come see what a reference image actually looks like.

The best turntables don't get replaced, they get better.

Definitive Expert John is in today putting a new cartridge and upgraded cables on a customer's vintage Thorens. Small changes. Big difference. That's the whole game.

Some systems are built to impress. This one was built to play.

Metallica on the platter. AC/DC on the wall. Gibsons within arm's reach. And a McIntosh MA8950 driving a pair of B&W 801s that can handle every bit of what this room demands of them.

The gear is serious. The attitude matches.
This is what a life spent loving music looks like — and we wouldn't change a thing about it.

Most showrooms show you what they've already decided to sell you.

Burbank — our Projector Shootout Lab — was built for something different.

Four projectors. One screen. Switch between them in real time, each individually optimized. Degree markers on the wall so you can feel — not guess — what different screen sizes actually look like from your seating distance. Calibrated presets from 5.1 all the way through 11.2.6 so you can hear what more speakers actually does to a room.

The questions you have about your home theater? We built a room to answer them.

Come see it. Tuesday – Saturday, 11am – 5pm.
