Eliminate Service Calls and Equipment Failures due to electrical surges, spikes, and ground contamination caused by MOV based devices that only surge protect instead of eliminating surges while causing you problematic service issues and wasting valuable time and money.

The Absolute Sound Reviews The Paradigm Persona 9H!
The Paradigm Persona 9H is reviewed in the April 2017 issue of Absolute Sound.
Quote: "Let me begin with the conclusion. The Paradigm Persona 9H is a new assault on the state of the art in speaker design by one of Canada's leading companies. It may cost some $35,000 a pair, but it's one of the best speaker systems I have ever had the opportunity to listen to or review."
Quote: "I got better and smoother bass out of the Paradigm Persona 9H in a variety of room locations than I have with any other system that did not have room correction. Moreover, it outperformed any other pair of speakers-or pair with separate subwoofers-that did have room correction. It measured better; it did a better job with a wide range of bass warble tones; and, most importantly, it sounded better with organ, jazz, rock, and the kind of sonic spectaculars you may hate as music but can't resist using to test your system."
Quote: "One of the best around. Highly recommended."

Read the reviews!

- nova150 in CNet "This seriously potent Class D amplifier design belts out 150 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 250 watts per channel into 4 ohms, and Peachtree even claims the Nova150 can drive speaker loads as low as 2.5 ohms, a rare feat for amps or receivers in the Nova150's price class. No AV receiver I'm aware of can do that."
- nova150 in Digital Audio Review "A new generation calling: the utterly marvellous Peachtree nova150"
- nova300 in Computer Audiophile "However, the nova300 is the homecoming king, the captain of the team, and the president of the senior class, rolled up into one item. Power, control, and finesse. This is the nova you want."
- nova300 in Digital Audio Review "The nova300 is an exceptional beast."

Create A Deadly Stack Of
ATMOS Power With Anthem AV
Anthem's powerful processor, the AVM60, combined with Anthem's MCA amplifiers, is just what the doctor ordered for a full blown ATMOS experience! With a processing potent AVM60 delivering the precision audio into 11 channels of Anthem MCA amplifiers rated at 225 per channel into 8 ohms and having stable power down to 600 watts into 2 ohms, the sky really is the limit on the realism a theater can produce.
The reviewers are loving these!
AVM60
- "There wasn't a single time I didn't savor sitting down and listening to this processor" - Theo Nicolakis - Audioholics
- I think I'm going to just leave it there permanently as my new reference AV preamp. Be careful auditioning the Anthem AVM 60--you might just have to buy it, like I did." - Myron Ho - Home Theater Review
