The 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗺 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝟳𝟮𝟬𝗙 𝗩𝟮 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 are now available to demo in the Rapallo AV Auckland showroom.

Designed and engineered by Paradigm, the Premier 720F V2 brings serious floorstanding speaker performance into a refined, living-room-friendly design. It is a great option for anyone wanting a more dynamic, full-range sound from a two-channel HiFi system or front left and right speakers in a home theatre setup.

Take a closer look at the Premier 720F V2 and why it is such a strong choice for music, movies, and everyday listening. With its slim tower design, clear midrange, detailed high frequencies, and confident bass performance, the Premier 720F V2 is built to deliver scale and impact without taking over the room.

The Premier 720F V2 is ideal for listeners who want more presence than a bookshelf speaker can offer, but still want a speaker that is easy to integrate into a lounge, media room, or dedicated listening space.

Perfect for:
• Two-channel HiFi systems
• Home theatre front left and right channels
• Medium-sized rooms
• Media rooms and dedicated listening spaces
• Music lovers wanting a bigger, more dynamic sound
• Customers looking to step up from bookshelf speakers

Come and hear the 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗺 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝟳𝟮𝟬𝗙 𝗩𝟮 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 on demo in our Auckland showroom.

🛠𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗩 𝗰𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻, 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺.

We have recently completed the THX theatre room in Tauranga, and the final piece we have now delivered is the custom AV cabinet at the back of the room.

From the initial 3D render through to final installation, we worked closely with the client to make sure the cabinet suited the room, the equipment, and the way the system will be used day to day.

Small details make a big difference. The extended top and side panels help hide cabling, while a small V-detail allows for the power connection to the theatre seating. The result is clean, practical, and designed to look like it belongs in the room.

Next step is the full room calibration after around 300 hours of use. That is where the system will be fine-tuned and taken to the next level.

How cool is this shot from the 1970’s thanks to Timespanner. Who still has some gear purchased from this decade?

✅𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

Yesterday was a full day of site visits for the Rapallo team, starting at a new build in Kumeu.

This is exactly the right time to talk about audio, visual, home theatre, networking, outdoor audio, control, and future system upgrades. We can walk through the home with you, plan the zones properly, and make sure the right cabling is in the right place before the wall-cladding is on.

We see it too often. A beautiful new home is finished, then the owners realise they want better TV placement, ceiling speakers, a media room, outdoor audio, data points, or a projector setup, but the wiring was never allowed for.

That is where early planning makes all the difference.

Our team can help with AV design, pre-wire planning, speaker placement, projector and screen planning, network design, home theatre rooms, multi-room audio and future-ready system design.

If you still love the sound, feel and simplicity of playing CDs, this compact little player is well worth a look. It is a great option for adding disc playback to a stereo system, desktop setup, powered speakers or a modern hi-fi system.

Clean, tidy and easy to live with, the Merak is a smart way to bring your CD collection back into regular rotation.
