Ikos - For Serious Audio Lovers, 502 Main Street, Palmerston North (2026)

04/12/2025

Our latest project is a testament to our commitment to excellence, as we have transformed a unique, bespoke character home in one of Palmerston North’s most coveted neighbourhoods. This media room has undergone a stunning transformation that is both visually and aurally impressive. The concealment of all cabling ensures a seamless appearance, and every detail has been meticulously finished to the highest standard to maintain the home’s character and enhance functionality. The sound quality is a standout feature of this installation. The new three-channel Bluesound POWERNODE, paired with an on-wall PSB PWM1 centre speaker and two PSB Imagine T65 tower speakers, provides an incredible, immersive audio experience. Music feels like a live performance, even at low listening levels, with rich detail and effortless clarity. Movies gain a new dimension, with outstanding separation and realism that lets you hear every nuance exactly as the director intended. And the best part? All of this performance comes in under $7,000 for the audio components. It was a pleasure to install, and even better to hear.

Rediscover the Magic of Music with Amphion Argon7LS

During the renovation of the historic Lymm Water Tower, audiophile Russell Harris discovered the transformative power of Amphion speakers. Nestled in the heart of Lymm, England, this Victorian landmark had long stood as a derelict structure until Harris took on the monumental task of restoring it. Inspired by the minimalist aesthetics of British architect John Pawson, the tower now boasts a serene and modern living space, perfectly complemented by the elegantly simple design of Amphion speakers.

An Audiophile’s Journey

Russell Harris’s love for music began early in his life, leading him to build his own amplifiers and speakers. His passion for high-fidelity sound was reignited after the completion of the Water Tower renovation. Seeking to elevate his audio experience, Harris turned to the Amphion Argon7LS speakers, renowned for their exceptional sound quality and minimalist design. The result was an auditory revelation that brought his favorite music to life in ways he had never imagined.

Transformative Listening Experience

The Argon7LS speakers deliver an immersive sound experience, perfectly suited for the unique acoustics of Harris's octagonal living space. From the first notes of Diana Ross's "I’m Coming Out," Harris was captivated by the clarity and depth of sound. His investment in the Amphion Argon7LS has proven to be a lasting joy, blending seamlessly into his contemporary living room while providing an unparalleled listening experience.
