Marantz MM7055 power amplifier
Offering outstanding value for money, the Marantz MM7055 power amp delivers up to 140 watts per channel into 8 ohms, while maintaining a low distortion level. €1,599
Honestly, I was really skeptical about the pay-off. Well, I’m glad I was wrong, the results are there. The connectors are easy to use. The trigger works perfectly. When I switch on my Marantz SR6013, the Marantz MM7055 responds instantly. […] If you’re looking for a safe bet, this is the model to opt for.

Meze 109 Pro hi-fi headphones
Ideal for long listening sessions, the Meze 109 Pro open hi-fi headphones are comfortable to wear, thanks to their self-adjusting headband and velvet ear pads. €799
As far as comfort is concerned, I can spend hours listening to music without my ears getting tired or warm. I forget I’m wearing headphones. It’s a pleasure to listen to music and rediscover tracks with clarity and precision.

Pro-Ject Debut Pro turntable
For its 30th anniversary, the brand has launched the Pro-Ject Debut Pro turntable, a highly refined version of its entry-level model that features a new tonearm made out of a single block of carbon fiber and aluminum. €799
This turntable’s playback quality, ease of use and design make it a top choice for anyone wishing to enter (or stay in) the high-quality vinyl world without breaking the bank. Pro-ject has achieved a perfect balance between performance and minimalism with this model.

Eltax Monitor III bookshelf speakers
The Eltax Monitor III compact speakers feature two drivers: a 5″ midbass driver and a soft-dome tweeter covering a frequency range from 50Hz to 22kHz. €159 per pair.
After a month of listening pleasure, I can say that their excellent HiFi quality/price ratio is quite impressive. […] The music delivered by these small speakers is really very pleasant, detailed, enveloping and convincing, without ever being tiring…

Rega Aethos amplifier
Adopting a dual-mono design and high-quality components, the Rega Aethos all-analog audiophile amplifier delivers 2 x 125 watts into 8 ohms with very low distortion. €4,490.
It’s my personal opinion, but I love its “flat”, discreet and slightly modern look […] The amp is powerful, never at fault even at high volume, with a sound typical of AB amps, comfortable, reassuring, full, with details and a neutral, unbiased presentation.

FiiO R7 headphone amplifier
The FiiO R7 is a versatile device featuring a network player, DAC, headphone amp and hi-fi preamp. It can be controlled via a touchscreen and integrates the Android system. €699.
I was very pleasantly surprised by the fine definition of the treble and the D/A conversion as a whole. The Android interface makes it very intuitive to use, and the touchscreen is very sensitive, which is better than the opposite. […] The value for money is unbeatable, as is often the case with FiiO!

Sonos Arc soundbar
The Sonos Arc soundbar features 11 amplifiers and 11 drivers for 5.0.2-channel Dolby Atmos reproduction. €999
An auditory delight. Incredibly simple connectivity. The sound is perfect and very balanced. With Apple Music, High Res or Dolby Atmos sound is simply amazing. Sound takes center stage, thanks to a vast soundstage. Having been a Sonos customer for many years, I may not be objective, but I love this consistently perfect sound (music – cinema).

HiFiMan Jade II system
Ideal for enjoying the richness of studio-quality, high-resolution audio recordings, the HiFiMAN Jade II headphones, supplied with their dedicated headphone amplifier, ensure an extended frequency response. €1,900.
This kind of kit doesn’t need an equalizer, it’s just great for appreciating sonic transparency while quietly listening to music. Midrange and treble detail are not masked by certain low-mid or bass frequencies. It’s soft, musical, smooth. An audiophile duo that I can easily recommend.

TCL 65C843 UHD 4K TV
The TCL 65C843 4K UHD TV adopts a QLED panel with mini-LED backlighting for brightness of up to 2000 nits. Working with Google TV, it offers access to a variety of apps and streaming services. €1,290.
All in all, the TV is very good, the picture quality is spot on, the brightness is just impressive, the sound… what can I say but excellent. The TV is compatible with most content (HDR, Dolby Atmos, etc.): a pure delight. I recommend it.

KEF LS50 META compact speakers
The award-winning KEF LS50 Meta bookshelf speakers not only boast impeccable aesthetics, but also a top-notch audio design. €1,299, per pair.
Even when they’re running in, I’m impressed. I’m still waiting a while before I buy a higher-quality subwoofer, but the music is already there, whether it’s chamber, symphonic, baroque, opera, jazz, rock or any other genre.
