The new Denon receivers are already here - AVR 1611 and AVR 1911, replacing extremely successful AVR 610 and AVR 1910 ( EISA among many, many awards and excellent reviews ). And they started their own collection of 5-star reviews and top ratings from the world's most famous critics and magazines.  
 
Audio Research made the impossible - improved their REF3 preamp, which most of the high end magazines considered the best in the world, by a big margin. The king is dead, long live the king - the new REF5 ! And that's not all - there is all new phono stage of the same calibre with all the set ups, you would always need - REF PHONO 2. Imagine all this in a near perfect system, fed by a signal from top Linn LP12 with the latest upgrades and Playback Designs MPS-5 SACD player, amplified by Tenor 350M monoblocks, driving the magical Avalon Isis! High end doesn't get much better than this ...

But the best news is that you need a single HDMI interconnect to transfer all video data between the receiver and the TV set.  
Welcome to all new Loewe Center - 59 Skobelev Blvd., see pictures here and Denon Center - 138 Rakovski St.  
Lloyd Walker and Fred Law were here ! The great master and his business partner came in Sofia to install the very best source in the world - Proscenium Black Diamond Turntable, tonearm and Reference Phono Stage Second Edition and train our staff to set it up and demonstate its amazing sound. All accessories from Walker Audio were tested to show their positive impact to the LPs, CDs, DVDs, cables and high end products. We we stunned to their effect - much more music from every source and system ! We invite all our current and future customes to hear the what I thought impossible in sound reproduction. It is frighteningly close to live music ! See some pictures from the event.  
 
In the last few months our aim is to offer our customers the very best exsisting audio components no matter the price. This includes Silent Source Audio Cables, Walker Audio turntable and phono stage along with accessories from the smae manufacturer, Tenor Audio monoblocks, Critical Mass Systems high end supports. All those products are unique, because they either have no competition or at several times lower price, they offer unbelievable musical pleasure.  
 
In our pursuit of better choice for the customers and offering ultra high end products to them ( right on the limit of what's possible today in musical reproduction ), expect demonstrations ( and distribution of course ) of darTZeel amplifiers from Switzerland and Evolution Acoustics loudspeakers from the USA. Their products would fit perfectly in many top class systems, but the added value lies in the fact, that Evolution Acoustics loudspeakers have been designed ( by Kevin Malmgren, former Vice President of Engineering at Von Schweikert Audio ) using darTZeel amplifiers, which makes their duet unforgettable experience.  
 
Now that we offered our customers ther very best in turntable design - the legendary Linn LP12 along with hte latest upgrades: Ekos SE, Keel, Trampolin2, the briliant phono stage Audio Research PH7, Sofia Audio Centre is pleased to present the icing of the cake - the very best cartridge know to man van den Hul Condor, made by special order to match "our" components ( turntable, tonearm, phono stage, listening preferences ) ! You get the same - cartridge specially made for your system and taste and your name on the box !
