We are in continuous search for new opportunities and products in the high-end audio visual markets to compliment and grow our business.

I can fully endorse The Audio Visual Boutique, both for their products and their personal attention.
 
@JeandreB welcome to our little, but growing, Hifi community! I took a look through your catalogue of brands and dang you have got some wonderful products to offer! I could see myself owning something "Gold Note" in the future!

Hey Mr B, yes GOLD NOTE we see as a brand that will soon take off....their products (and prices) are just crazy good....when you ready...let's talk;)
 
@pwatts Just read the Ascendo Coax D6 (passive) review on TNTnAudio and this caught my eye :


3D soundstage​

This is probably the area where these speakers perform better. The small cabinet, paired to the rather small coaxial driver, make the loudspeakers disappear. Ascendo describes this as “holographic spatial imaging” and I admit no better words could be used to explain what these speakers can do. The 3D stage they create is wide, deep and high, and also extremely detailed and stable. Voices and instruments live in a 3D space that surrounds the speakers, literally. There's a price to pay for such an “immersive” performance: find the sweet spot and stay glued there! Move laterally a little bit and almost all the magic is lost. They still image well, but that magic performance is no longer there.”

I like, like it a lot. And this is the passives. ( …and Some people don’t believe in imaging and soundstaging, “holographic spatial imaging” is surely going to blow their mind? 🤣

 
For those who asked, here are my overkill 4x CCRM-6P on the ceiling bulkhead for Atmos duty. Beautiful white piano-gloss.
