Quadral Rhodium and Creativ Box It

Here’s a couple of things that caught our eye at this year’s High End Show. First up is a new speaker from Quadral called the Rhodium.

Harman Luxury At High End Munich

Harman’s room at Munich High end was really rather special and Lin and I both enjoyed a prolonged listen to the new Mark Levinson № 536 Monaural Power Amplifier feeding a pair of JBL Everest loudspeakers.
