Melbourne Audio Club monthly meeting - Redgum Audio turns twenty one
8pm Wednesday 20th May, visitors welcome. Willis Room, City of Whitehorse Offices Maroondah Highway (Whitehorse Road), Nunawading Melway Map 48 Ref G9 Contact: 9437 1249
This month's meeting we have the pleasure of Ian Robinson and Lindy Gerber from Redgum Audio, who are celebrating their 21st year in the Hi-Fi Industry. To mark their 21st Birthday, Redgum will be presenting to the club their new flagship monoblock amplifier, the "Magnificata". This will be the first public demonstration (yes, a world exclusive!) from their newly named Amplifolia range of amplifiers.
The Magnificata has been purpose designed to power ultra-low impedance speakers, and then some more. A few Power Output stats tell the story... Into 8ohms - greater than 350W/ch (Transient Power 500W). Into 4 ohms - greater than 900W/ch (Transient Power 2000W) All the input connectors are hand - wired with OCC single strand, solid core Silver wiring.
Running off these new mono blocks, will be Redgums gorgeous looking Regnans Floorstanding Loudspeakers finished off in a high gloss Red Gum wood veneer. The Regnans are a 2.5-way design featuring 2x170mm drivers with a 25mm soft dome tweeter, all sourced from SEAS.
Speaking of source, the front end for the system will be Redgums tried and trusted RGCD5ENR CD player, as well as their DAC. In addition a Blue-ray Player for the Hi-Res disc's and files from a laptop to round off the music presentation.
It's been some time, (more than a decade) since we last had Ian and Lindy at a club meeting. With a long and enviable career in the Hi Fi Industry, I am sure this evening will be an impressive demonstration of well designed Australian audio equipment.
