Since we opened our doors March 31st, 2015, our goal has been to provide the best musical experience by offering the finest audio equipment available. We do this by working with truly special, innovative brands. Last year we held our first “Music Talks” event, where we invited some of the masters behind these brands, to talk about what makes their products special, and of course, to showcase them.

For this second annual Music Talks we’ve put together a full slate of audio luminaries and product designers.

Robert Harley, Editor-in-Chief of The Absolute Sound, will be on hand Saturday afternoon from 1pm to 4pm to talk about The Absolute Sound’s Illustrated History of High-End Audio, a series of lavishly produced large-format books that celebrate the industry’s legendary founders and their most iconic products. Autographed copies of both volumes (Volume One: Loudspeakers and Volume Two: Electronics) will be available. Robert will also sign copies of the new fifth edition of his classic book The Complete Guide to High-End Audio.

As part of the second annual Music Talks event, our focus is on the most musical pairing in all of high-end audio, darTZeel and Evolution Acoustics.

Jonathan Tinn and Kevin Malmgren, the team behind Evolution Acoustics, will also be present to share their thoughts on loudspeaker design and manufacturing as well as to talk about their current and upcoming products. Be there for the world premier of the Evolution Acoustics MMThree EXACT Loudspeakers. Jonathan who also owns Wave Kinetics will bring their reference NVS Turntable along with the Durand Kairos tonearm and Ortofon MC-Anna cartridge. Be on hand to hear some special very special upcoming vinyl releases direct from Acoustic Sounds.

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.
