Outstanding New Products from Great Companies
1) B&W
The Custom Theater CT series is the hot thing at Audio Advice, but we can’t overlook the new CM9 floor standing speaker. This very slim tower delivers amazing performance at $3000 a pair. We’ve received more positive customer comments on this speaker than almost anything in the last ten years. It’s an outstanding design, and is set up with Rotel components in our Raleigh B&W Group room and our Charlotte store for you to listen to.

2) Ayre
The QB-9 USB DAC is the darling of the review press right now. If you use your computer to store your audio files, the QB-9 is a great way to extract them for maximum performance. It seems like every person who borrows this digital to analog converter overnight winds up keeping it. At $2500 it’s a fantastic value in USB DACs!

3) Wilson Audio
What happens when you take an already great product and make it better and less expensive? The new Wilson Audio Sasha W/P speaker shows you. Right after Brandon set these up, I gave them a listen and my jaw hit the floor. Wilson has done it again with the Sasha. The Sasha incorporates many concepts from the MAXX 3, yet is slightly less expensive than the Watt/Puppy 8 it replaces. Come in with your favorite CDs or digital music and we’ll give your ears a listening thrill!

Scott Newnam, Audio Advice President and CEO, will host a special evening at his beautiful Prestonwood home in Morrisville on Thursday, Nov. 12th from 6:30 pm to 9 pm. We call this evening Home for the Holidays, and we invite you and a guest to join us. Scott uses his home to showcase our latest home entertainment and control innovations, usuallyby appointment only. We’re very excited about some of the new products and system improvementsthat are now available, and we want you to have the chance to experience them in a home setting where all the benefits can be fully appreciated.
Wine, light food and refreshments will be served, and everything will be shown in a relaxed, low-key atmosphere. We’ll show you the latest upgrades we’ve made to our Signature Series Control System, the most advanced, reliable, and easy to use Crestron home control system now available.
Experts from Ayre Acoustics, B&W, Classé, James Loudspeakers, McIntosh Labs, Peachtree Audio, Transparent Cable, and Wilson Audio will also be at Scott’s. They’ll talk with you about the new things you’re seeing and hearing throughout the home, and answer your questions.
Because of the evening’s unique home setting, the number of people we can host for the evening is limited, so we ask that you RSVP if you plan to attend as soon as you can, so we can reserve your place. Please RSVP by e-mail to event@audioadvice.com or by phone to (919) 881-2005. After we receive your RSVP, we will send you directions to Scott’s home. (As this is an evening at a private residence, we will not be posting directions here on our website. RSVPs by phone should leave either an e-mail address or a mailing address in order to receive directions.)
This evening will be unlike anything Audio Advice has done before, and should be a lot of fun.
We hope you can make plans to be with us at Scott’s home for what promises to be a memorable evening. We look forward to seeing you there.
