“Looks to die for, performance to enthral and not a single bad habit”

Ed Selley (HIFIChoice magazine) might have found an ideal trio that doesn’t cost the earth.

Components: Copland CDA 825 + Copland CTA405 integrated amplifier + Sonus faber Venere 2.5 loudspeakers

“Partnered with the Veneres, the headroom on offer is effectively unlimited for most domestic environments”

“The price is right – The end result is a system that is greater than the sum of great pans. It has an audio performance that stands comparison with any system at the same price beautiful or otherwise – and combines this with fabulous styling, sensible dimensions and the sort of build that is not commonly encountered anwvhere near the price. What’s more, going right back to the beginning, there are no obvious downsides. The amplifier has plenty of extra inputs if you need them and control and operation of the entire system is marginally more taxing than using a knife and fork. This piece might not be called practical systems, but as a collection of electronics to Iive with and enjoy every single day this system will take some beating.”
