Lavish Hi-Fi Hosts Special Afternoon of Music and Audio with GamuT and Robert Harley

Lavish Hi-Fi in Santa Rosa, California, invites you to a memorable afternoon on Saturday, December 10. This special event is an opportunity to hear the new Zodiac flagship speaker from GamuT Audio. In addition, Robert Harley, Editor-in-Chief of The Absolute Sound, will be signing copies of his books and be available to talk with you and take your questions throughout the afternoon.

The Zodiac will be presented by GamuT’s Chief Engineer, Benno Baun Meldgaard, who will travel from Denmark for this special event. Benno will explain the extraordinary design of the Zodiac as well as share special music from his personal library. Michael Vamos, GamuT’s U.S. distributor, will also be on hand. The system will be powered by GamuT’s reference-level electronics and cables. You can be among the select few in the world to hear this remarkable loudspeaker.

Lavish Hi-Fi, one of the country’s premier high-end dealers, features exceptional listening rooms, a wide array of carefully selected brands, and a comfortable atmosphere.

The afternoon will feature libations, refreshments, new music, and much more. This special event will take place on Saturday, December 10, from 1p.m. until 5p.m. Space is limited, so please RSVP to Lavish Hi-Fi at sales@lavishhifi.com or call (707) 595-2020. Lavish Hi-Fi is located at 1044 4th Street, Santa Rosa, CA 95404.

The GamuT Zodiac Loudspeaker
GamuT’s Zodiac is a cost-no-object, limited-edition, reference-level loudspeaker. Only 12 pairs are produced each year, and chief designer Benno Baun Meldgaard will personally oversee the installation and fine-tune the system in each customer’s home.

The Zodiac features all-new drive units including a tweeter that extends to 60kHz. Bass response extends to 16Hz, making the Zodiac an extremely wideband transducer. Meldgaard hand-matches the drivers for each pair. The highly complex enclosure is made from 27 layers of wood, sourced from a sustainable forest in Latvia. Other design features include a boat-tailed taper in the rear to avoid standing waves inside the cabinet and exotic, cost-no-object crossover components connected with point-to-point wiring. This overview just hints at the Zodiac’s technical innovations and exterior beauty.

Robert Harley’s Books
Robert Harley will sign copies of his classic book The Complete Guide to High-End Audio, now in a new fifth edition. First published in 1994, The Complete Guide has become the essential reference on high-quality music reproduction. Robert’s books on high-end audio have sold more than 300,000 copies in five languages. Robert will also present the first and second volumes of The Absolute Sound’s Illustrated History of High-End Audio, a series of large-format, lavishly illustrated books celebrating high-end audio’s legendary companies and their iconic products. And if you own a copy of the Illustrated History bring it to the event for Robert to personally inscribe to you. Robert will be available all afternoon to take questions and talk with you.

My older brother Stephen introduced me to music when I was about 12 years old. Stephen was a prodigious musical talent (he went on to get a degree in Composition) who generously shared his records and passion for music with his little brother.
