Frank Prowse Hi-Fi

Join us in-store on May 7, 2024 at Frank Prowse Hi-Fi for an evening celebrating Monitor Audio Group’s current design and manufacturing capabilities, and its future ambitions. As one of the oldest Monitor Audio dealers in Australia, Frank Prowse Hi-Fi is proud to showcase the current design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities of the Monitor AUdio Group, as well as its future ambitions. Top-billing at this event will be the incredible HYPHN loudspeakers - Hyphn is a unique loudspeaker, created at a particular point in time through a combination of three specific factors: a deep understanding of the science of how we hear sound; solid engineering principles; and the creative freedom that comes with being an independent business. In addition we will also be showcasing the Platinum and Gold ranges through the night. Speakers will be driven by T+A electronics. Refreshments (food and beverages) will be available on the night.

Which stores?

We would like to let all our valued clients know that we will be closing over the Easter period, as is customary for us each year. We will be closed from 5.30pm on Thursday 28th March 2024, re-opening 9.00am the following Tuesday (2nd April 2024). We will be available via email for any queries you may have during this time. We wish you all a most enjoyable Easter! The Team at Frank Prowse Hi-Fi

Approximately once a year we get a stunning job that excites us no end to be involved in (see link below to the wonderful Bergmann Audio Galder 24K Gold Edition Turntable and addition system we put together). This year we have another one and yes, it's of an analogue nature. More info over the next few weeks, sneak peek below...

Most stores we know who entertain trade-ins and consignment deals will advise the client on current market conditions. Some clients with consignment equipment will refuse to accept the advice and have high expectations. This unfortunately means a product sits around longer than expected.

Unique in shape, unparalleled in performance, Hyphn is the result of an intense collaboration between Monitor Audio's designers and engineers, who set out to build the best loudspeaker anyone has ever heard. Have they done just that? Come into our Nedlands showroom and hear for yourself!

For those who don't look at the top of Stereonet, here is a link to a little video of the setup:-

Further Information: Save 50%. Shipping via Express Post included. Brand new, unopened stock. Clearaudio's V2 MM technology uses ebony as a resonance resistant body. Other ingredients of the recipe for success are the most effective reduction of moving mass, an optimized polishing technique for the stylus and highly effective cartridge damping. The Clearaudio V2 moving magnet cartridges are meticulously measured, analysed, and hand-selected into four performance levels. In this way Clearaudio achieves the best stereo channel matching, minimum phase error and distortion, flattest frequency response and highest dynamic range at each price point. The cartridges produce an audiophile sound of superlative quality – spatially detailed and vividly textured, with bass that does not wallow and treble that is not harsh. The models of the Clearaudio MM V2 series provide outstanding sound quality on all current tonearms. With the exception of the MM concept V2, which is made of aluminium, all the cartridges in this series are made with housings of hand-polished ebony – the key to record-breaking weight values.

Further Information: This unit is BRAND NEW - it has only been removed from its box for static display/image purposes but has never been used. On offer here is a considerable saving over the current RRP of $3,599. Great machine, highly reliable and importantly does an incredible job of cleaning vinyl records. Unit is BLACK in colour and PRICE IS FIRM From the website:- "A freshly-cleaned vinyl record has so much more to offer: more information, more detail and better sound. That's why audio experts advocate cleaning not only your latest flea market finds but also your brand new LPs fresh from the press. Clearaudio's smart matrix SILENT record cleaning machine combines scrupulous cleaning with oh-so-gentle handling of your precious vinyl collection. No more dust, dirt or chemical pressing residues. And, as its name suggests, this 'vinyl whisperer' comes with an exceptionally quiet operating mode. What's more, in its new enhanced edition the smart matrix SILENT is smarter than ever, sporting a raft of intelligent upgrades. The multi-functional cleaning arm deftly handles cleaning fluid application as well as suction, and is easily adjustable to any size of vinyl or shellac record. To start the cleaning process, simply swing the arm into place. No need to even press a button. Key components such as the motor, pump, cleaning fluid reservoir and waste fluid tank are now identical to those in our top-of-range ‘Professional’ model. Selecting functions and features is more intuitive and effortless than ever, thanks to new high quality, tactile push buttons for all controls. For ease of maintenance and transport the cleaning arm can be removed without the need for tools. The smart matrix SILENT is now available and is supplied with a matching universal clamp designed to hold any size of vinyl or shellac record securely in place.

Had a quick first listen to this amplifier yesterday (driving some Pylon Jade Twenty loudspeakers) - bloody Nora, so good!!!

For many many years (decades in fact), a unique, symbiotic and exclusive relationship between Frank Prowse Hi-Fi and Monitor Audio existed in Perth. After a couple of years in the hifi wilderness - these two have put aside their differences and group hugs between the two are now a regular occurance. So much is the bromance in full swing, that Gold and Platinum models are now available on the showroom floor (which will be the primary focus). But wait, there's more...

Pinched from @Hydrology but he won't mind!

Welcome Paul!
