Sennheiser has improved its trusted 7mm transducer for the IE 900. They have created the all-new X3R triple-chamber absorber technology and milled it right into the solid aluminum core.

Each is available separately, but the design intention is to combine all three into the ultimate trifecta of audio bliss. The package is intimidating, so prepare yourself for a bit more than a typical DAC \/ amp setup. The material design is rewardingly premium with high attention to detail, yet refreshingly simple. The features and specs are broad with compatibility and accessibility for today’s arsenal of modern audiophile solutions, particularly network streaming and high-quality sample frequency and format playback. And with the ability to increase the output gain, no worries driving the harder end of the headphone spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonically, the full Lina system sounds as if it’s not there at all: it’s simply the most transparent audio stack we’ve ever heard, like plugging your headphones directly into the studio mixing board. Every minute detail, no matter how small, is heard, and the perception is perfectly natural and neutral with detail and imaging, but without any exaggeration. It’s just so lifelike.

The perfectly formed design, in line with \"Form Follows Function\", makes no compromises. Thanks to the use of the latest technologies, they are bursting with resolution and playfulness and offer excellent sound. The Reference 5, like all Reference models, are manufactured in Germany with the utmost care and precision. This and the use of first-class materials and components, ensure a long-lasting and reliable quality. The speakers shine with irrepressible dynamics and excellent stage imaging - for a lively and natural sound of your music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModern technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the completely newly conceived Reference Series enclosures, round baffles were designed for the first time, which are manufactured on a 5-axis CNC milling machine specially provided for this purpose. The elaborately curved side walls, bottoms and lids provide enormous stability and significantly reduced natural resonance behavior of the speaker enclosure. As a result, the Reference 5 offer a very homogeneous dispersion behavior and an authentic staggering of the music. The Reference 5 speakers feature two 174 mm BCT woofers equipped with black ceramic tungsten cones. These work in perfect harmony with the large enclosure volume and efficient bass guide system to deliver contour-sharp low end and rich deep bass. The equally sized BCT midrange driver, housed in its own enclosure, contributes to a natural and authentic sound image with finely resolved mids. The sound spectrum is rounded off by the 25 mm BC tweeter with black aluminum oxide ceramic cone, which ensures detailed and homogeneous highs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNew diaphragms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe midrange and woofer systems of all Reference loudspeakers are characterized by their advanced BCT cones. In the BCT diaphragm, 25 percent of the molecular structure of an aluminum cone is converted into a ceramic structure and refined with tungsten and additional metal particles. As a result, the diaphragms achieve a perfect stiffness-to-weight ratio and turn black on the front and back surfaces during the creation process. In addition, the specially shaped black midrange ceramic cone in TCC technology stabilizes the membrane and reduces unwanted resonances. This is how we achieve precise and distortion-free reproduction. To optimize the sound, our latest generation Wave Beading technology is used in the Reference 5. This ensures a smooth transient response even at high volumes and large diaphragm excursions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/canton-reference-5-2023-lifestyle-black_2048x2048.jpg?v=1703104231\" alt=\"Canton Reference 5 2023 Close Up Black\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContact\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reference 5 speakers are equipped with high-quality WBT nextgen™ connectors and allow bi-wiring and bi-amping.

Equipped with the technologies of a floorstanding speaker, they offer the potential to fill even larger rooms thanks to the large mid-bass driver. The bass guide, used for the first time in a compact speaker, is an integral part of the speaker base and allows uncomplicated placement on sideboards or freely in the room with the ideally matching speaker stands \"Reference LS\". Thanks to precise tuning in the laboratory and listening room and the use of high-quality crossover components, the 2-way speakers offer great sound from compact cabinets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModern technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact Reference 9 loudspeakers feature one 174 mm BCT cone per loudspeaker, which offers high rigidity and outstanding internal damping at a low dead weight. The BCT cone enables precise and accurate reproduction of the low and midrange. The perfect playing partner for the bass-midrange driver is the 25 mm BC tweeter, which shines with its detailed and transparent reproduction and impressively underpins the excellent sound quality of the Reference 9. A large part of the excellent sound of the speaker is the precisely designed crossover, which is equipped with hand-selected components. The Reference 9 are equipped with WBT nextgen™ connection terminals, which enable a contact-safe and loss-free connection between the speakers and the amplifier. The connection terminal is equipped with our RC technology, which allows for sensitive tweeter adjustment in 1.5 decibel increments. The level adjustment allows the compact speakers to be adapted to listening preferences or to have a corrective effect on the existing room acoustics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe develop and manufacture our Reference loudspeaker systems at our factory in Weilrod in the Taunus region of Germany. To achieve the best possible sound development from compact cabinets, we have developed the Reference 9 cabinets from scratch. They feature generous radii on the side panels, bottoms and lids, and have a round baffle to realize the greatest possible edge clearance of the cabinet. This design concept reduces diffraction effects at the edges and contributes significantly to optimizing the speaker's sound dispersion. A computer-optimized chamber system and the sophisticated internal stiffening prevent standing waves and sound-damaging cabinet resonances. The high-gloss \"Black Piano\" surface sealant is applied in twelve layers, sanded and elaborately polished. It gives the Reference 9's cabinet an overwhelming sense of depth. As an alternative, the speakers are available in the \"White Satin\" finish. Acoustically optimized fabric covers adhere magnetically to the baffle for each chassis individually and round off the noble appearance of the compact Reference 9 sovereign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal combination\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to their superior technical features, the compact Reference 9s fill even large rooms with music effortlessly. To achieve this perfectly, you should place your speakers on the matching \"Reference LS\" stands from Canton. The Reference 9 are also ideal as surround and effect speakers in a large Reference home cinema set-up. Together with the visually and acoustically perfectly matched Reference Center, the powerful active subwoofer from the Reference series and a Reference floorstanding speaker of your choice, you can create an impressive multi-channel home cinema system that leaves nothing to be desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic Principle \/ Resonator:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-Way Bass reflex system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRadiation Direction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Downfire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum ceramic oxyd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMidrange\/Woofer\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.85\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black ceramic tungsten (Wave-surround)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal load capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMusic load capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25-40000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 \/ 8Ω\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficiency (2.83V\/1m):\u003c\/strong\u003e 87 db\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel Adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e yes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.2\" x 17.7\" x 15.4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanton 10-Year Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/Canton_Reference_2_2023_Manual.pdf.pdf\" title=\"Canton Reference 2023 Operating Manual English\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCanton Reference 2023 Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Canton","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":41714352488523,"sku":"CA11-9000-B","price":6300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":41714352521291,"sku":"CA11-9000-W","price":6300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/canton-reference-9-2023-front-back-black.jpg?v=1703108909"},{"product_id":"canton-reference-center-2023","title":"Canton Reference Center 2023 | Passive High-End Center Speaker Black","description":" \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Canton dark blue logo\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/canton-logo-dk-blu.jpg?v=1687292374\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 50%;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eReference Center Let's You Turn 2-Channel Greatness into a Full Surround System\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e27.5\" x 10.6\" x 15.3\" | 3-Way Bass Reflex System | 230W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTweeter: 1\" | Midrange: 6.85\" | Woofer: 6.85\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack ceramic tungsten midrange\/bass driver specially developed for a powerful performance and breathtaking bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabinets are made of high-quality, multi-layer laminate with a complex finishing process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference Center LS stand sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice is per \u003cstrong\u003eone unit\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the center\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal addition to your home theater system: expand your Reference speakers with the Reference Center and immerse yourself in new, exhilarating worlds of sound.

After developing a driver equipped with a newly designed \"Pina Align Diffuser\" and a more efficient \"Air Film Damping System\" (AFDS), the long-awaited new flagship alongside the D8000 and D8000 Pro Edition was conceived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAFDS uses the same principle that allows earphones sealed with an earpiece to reproduce low frequencies despite their small size. By sealing the inside of the ear pad, it is possible to reproduce bass tones further into the low frequency range, but with the bass played in a closed space similar to earphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the D7000, AFDS solves the problem of the diaphragm coming into contact with the magnet, making it possible to further lower bass frequency the driver can reproduce. In combination with breathable ear pads, D7000 can provide bass reproduction with both a sense of volume and openness that was previously only possible with dynamic drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/final-d7000-driver-explosion.jpg?v=1708370595\" alt=\"Final D7000 internal driver explosion with AFDS diagram\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDelicate High Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLightweight diaphragms are required to reproduce delicate high frequencies. The D7000 has a vibration system that is about 1\/3 the weight of a dynamic type with the same diameter, and has a structure in which an extremely thin aluminum foil coil is etched into an ultra-light film diaphragm. This eliminates the need to use adhesive to bond the coil and diaphragm, fundamentally solving the problems caused by adhesives and realizing delicate high-frequency reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCombining Planar Performance with Dynamic Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy combining the delicate high range of a planar magnetic field type with the volume and open bass of a dynamic type in the D7000, you'll experience a freshness with your familiar music and a desire to re-listen over and over again.

The accuracy of product assembly depends not only on the accuracy of the parts, but also of the assembly jigs. Production jigs are designed and manufactured in-house so that slight variations in component accuracy can be fine-tuned during assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, exclusive products for the D series have been developed, including production equipment such as the diaphragm molding machines and measuring instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to create truly premium products, raw materials need to be harvested in close proximity to manufacturing. The great thing about products made in Japan is that cooperation from close manufacturers is easily achieved, and high quality products are consistently controlled from the sourcing of the parts (materials) to the assembly of the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNewly Developed Open Ear Pads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth closed-back and open-back headphones often have sealed ear pads to extend the characteristic playback frequency in the lows that cannot typically be reproduced. However, in order to do this with the original natural spaciousness of the source, it is required that the driver unit's ability to reproduce the lows be combined with ear pads with low airtightness and ventilation. Conventional planar magnetic and general dynamic field types often lack quality low frequency extension and\/or properly sealed ear pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the D series, Final was able to extend the low-frequency reproduction band with AFDS, making it possible to reproduce sufficient low-frequency range even with poorly sealed ear pads using only the driver's ability. The ear pads, which heavily influence sound quality, are newly developed D-series products made of highly breathable foam and special fibers. The D7000 uses a special, durable fabric with a dry-to-the-touch Japanese paper as its surface material. The same material is also used for the headband, making it durable and resistant to moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/final-audio-d-7000-lifestyle-two.jpg?v=1721670207\" alt=\"final audio d7000 headphone resting on wooden headphone stand\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/final-d7000-accessories.jpg?v=1708360184\" alt=\"Final D7000 in aluminum case with all accessories\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Final Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41130109567051,"sku":"FA-D7000","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/final-d7000-0-thumb.jpg?v=1708359360"},{"product_id":"astell-kern-ak-sp3000t-dap","title":"Astell\u0026Kern A\u0026ultima SP3000T | Vacuum Tube Digital Audio Player","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 70%;\" alt=\"Astell\u0026amp;Kern SP3000T logo\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/astell-kern-sp3000t-logo.jpg?v=1708978994\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIntroducing the Astell\u0026amp;Kern SP3000T, a Portable DAP that Defies Convention and Offers a Unique Fusion of Analog and Digital Excellence\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAP with Snapdragon 6125 8-Core CPU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures 316L Stainless Steel with 99.9% pure Silver-plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNow available in \u003cstrong\u003eCopper\u003c\/strong\u003e finish - \u003cstrong\u003eLimited to 1,000 units globally\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual RAYTHEON JAN6418 MIL-SPEC vintage vacuum tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriple Amp System (OP-AMP\/Tube\/Hybrid Amp Mode) with 3-step tube current options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete separation of digital and analog signal processing (uses [x2] AK4499EX flagship DAC chips and [x2] AK4191EQ)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes yellow calfskin case - Optional \u003ca title=\"Astell\u0026amp;Kern A\u0026amp;ultima SP3000T Leather Case\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/products\/astell-kern-sp3000t-case\"\u003eBlack and Taupe leather cases\u003c\/a\u003e also available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/astell-kern-sp3000t-banner.jpg?v=1708980011\" alt=\"Astell\u0026amp;Kern SP3000T banner with tubes and logo\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bloom-take\"\u003e\n\u003ctable bgcolor=\"”#f6f6f6”\" width=\"90%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #a30e0b;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom's Take\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2021, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/collections\/astell-kern\" title=\"Astell\u0026amp;Kern\"\u003eAstell\u0026amp;Kern \u003c\/a\u003e took the plunge into the portable micro tube foray with their flagship SP2000T digital audio player.
