Audio Research Weekend At KJ West One, 5th & 6th December

Audio Research G Series Had Great Launch at KJ West One. By Chris Kelly

On Friday 5th and Saturday 6th December KJ West One was delighted to welcome the UK HiFi press and then friends and customers to hear the brand new Audio Research G Series amplification system. The new pre and power amplifiers were coupled with a pair of Wilson Audio Sasha II loudspeakers, with the music being served by the massively impressive ReQuest Audio The Beast.

On hand to act as DJ and introduce the new amplifiers was Brandon Lauer, Director of Marketing for Audio Research. Brandon used an eclectic selection of music to entertain the steady stream of guests in the main Audition Room.

The generally expressed approval of the sound being generated was mixed with much admiration for the new look of the G Series components, which are extremely handsome. Couple these sturdy good looks with a delightful sonic performance and it is clear that Audio Research has created a new benchmark for amplification at this price point. 

For those who prefer a single box amplifier the good news is that a G Series Integrated is not far away now. Based on our experience with the pre and power amplifiers we can confidently predict that this will be another star performer.

Our thanks to Brandon for coming all the way from snowy Minnesota to contribute to the success of this event and to Ricardo Franassovici and his team from Absolute Sounds, the UK distributor for Audio Research and Wilson Audio, for all their hard work in the preparation for these two great days at KJ West One.

And finally of course, our thanks to all who attended. We look forward to welcoming you all back to KJ West One in 2015.
