The weathers weird, you wanted an extra day off for Labor Day, and you don’t know what to do. Well, we don’t restock our vinyl very often and we finally did. So take this as your sign to do some shopping and see what you find. We even scored some new releases.

The new Denton 1S carries the legacy of the original 1967 speaker into the modern world. When we listened to these for the first time, our rep Lenny suggested more EDM like music (After a standard repertoire of songs we always use for demos). And boy, did these speakers punch way above their class. Featuring a modern and sleek look, and a sound that is not comprised by its size, the Denton 1S quickly became a store favorite. If you’re a more contemporary music listener, we highly suggest coming in for a listen on these Denton 1S speakers.

Dynaudio’s Confidence 20 won the Editors Choice award from The Absolute Sound in 2024 for a reason. Boasting the finest tweeter Dynaudio has ever created, this loudspeaker includes innovations in airflow routing and a resonance-busting inner dome. The result is a notable increase in detail, clarity, and sensitivity. If you love the science behind speakers, the Confidence 20 is for you! Special price now available - schedule a demo today to get your own pair before Dynaudio leaves the US Market.

With the ability to play literally anything stored in digital form, the Focus 10 is the perfect solution for any home listener limited on space.
