Sonor Audio Claro 10.2

These speakers seem to create the soundscape with a fine well sharpened pencil, whilst my speakers seem to paint with wax crayon” to quote the first person to experience the 10.2’s. A large speaker yet a master of transparency. The custom designed and in-house manufactured tractrix horn guide for the mid to high frequencies affords detail and involvement beyond expectations. There is generous delivery accurate to the recording that only a speaker of this scale can provide. Beauty isn’t just skin deep, with a height of 1.87 meters tall and mass of 85 Kg’s per cabinet, there is a lot ‘under the hood’. Two years in development, the Claro 10.2 has surpassed our design brief and expectations, this speaker is truly our flagship.

Sonor Audio Claro 8.2

Best performance is achieved in medium to large rooms, where the speakers can be positioned away from side & rear walls. The prodigious bass is complimented by an articulate mid band and fast delicate tops. Scale, impact and a rock solid centre stage are defining characteristics of this speaker. It’s efficient at 90 dB. When partnered with an amplifier that has sufficient control of the dual 8” drivers you will experience transparency and agility from this large loudspeaker. The Claro 8.2 has a symmetrical compliment of 8″ (220 mm) woofers and a tractrix horn loaded 38 mm ring radiator tweeter.

PL Audio Control Amplifier

The control amplifier is at the heart of the system and performs numerous tasks.  Absolute stability and overload capability must be maintained while input levels are normalised over the complete audio bandwidth.

PL Audio Stereo Power Amplifier

Amplifying a signal and driving a loudspeaker is far more complex than it first appears.  The stereo power amplifier is designed to stably and reliably drive real loudspeakers under all conditions.

PL Audio Mono Power Amplifier

The mono amplifiers build on the substantial performance of the stereo amplifier, greatly increasing the repertoire.  A frequent comment on hearing the mono amplifiers is that “there is so much more of everything!”

Lance Dixon Revolve Turntable

At the end of a long phone-call with an Audiophile friend, he mentioned to me that he knows someone that has built a magnificent turntable. A work of love and pure genius. Meticulously designed and very sound mechanical principles. Seeing that we are all a little bit isolated from the rest of the “modern” world and that most of our legends are old and have passed away, I was very curious to say the least. I always wondered why nobody tackled a good solid engineered turntable in South Africa. I mean, really…how difficulty is it to improve on a Linn LP12, Rega 3, or any of those ? The call was made and here starts the story….Ill let Lance tell his own story with a few notes here and there from myself….

Sonor Audio Claro 6.2

The Claro 6.2 has a symmetrical compliment of 6″ (180 mm) woofers and a tractrix horn loaded 38 mm ring radiator tweeter. This loudspeaker works well in medium sized room. Correct placement will reward the listener with detail and transparency that results in a realistic ‘in the room’ experience. As with any hi end component, the 6.2’s will perform at the optimum if matched by equal quality components. This speaker strikes a great balance of scale, bass speed and detail, wide & deep sound stage. At just over 1.2 meters tall with a mass of 45 kilograms per speaker, it certainly has a presence in the room. Yet its proportions are elegant and it looks just right. There’s a lot packed into the Claro 6.2. Please see the review from AUDIO (Germany) in the review section.

Sonor Audio Claro 10.1

The Claro 10.1 is a very special package. If you are looking for a small loudspeaker with the punch of a large speaker, this will surprise you. The 38 mm tractrix loaded ring radiator tweeter is at the centre of symmetrically positioned 5” mid woofers. The light cones of these drivers translate into impressive speed and detail from what seems to be a single point source. The powerful 10” side firing sub-woofer (not a passive radiator) takes over from the low pass roll off of the midrange drivers. The woofers can fire into boundary walls for bass emphasis or can be positioned to fire towards each other for tight defined bass. Off axis response has been optimised to allow wide distance between the loudspeakers if the interior of your room requires the speakers to be close to your walls. A very special & capable loudspeaker. It is a true 4 ohm loudspeaker, so ensure your amplifier can cope with a four ohm load.
