Sennheiser UAE Event: Exclusive Listen to AMBEO Soundbar
As the lights dimmed inside our room at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Dubai, it started to rain, a crash of thunder followed and then it poured – At least that’s what Sennheiser’s new AMBEO soundbar would have us believe. The rain from the Dolby Atmos demo actually sounded as though it was above us as well as all around us and the rumble of thunder was convincing. The clarity and quality of the spatial presentation was very impressive.

Dynaudio Confidence 20 Loudspeakers
Back in the late 1980s, an Australian company had the rights to use the Dynaudio moniker across a line of exceptional locally-manufactured speakers sporting full Danish driver arrays – head-to-toe metal jacket. Including the fabulous Esotar tweeter (in those days, Dynaudio supplied its state-of-the-art drivers to the OEM and DIY spaces). I lusted after those beautifully-finished designs. Especially after hearing them several times at a Sydney city store but, alas, at the time I was a student and the price of admission, despite the great value offered, was way beyond my financial capabilities.

Demystifying Audio & The Hunter
Sydney, Australia’s largest city, enjoys a very strong audio enthusiast community. Both on a social level, within tight small cliques, and by way of a more formal structure, or body. In the case of the latter, and as is common in many endeavours and hobbies, back in 2007 a core group of Sydney audiophiles banded together in order to form the Sydney Audio Club (SAC). Their mission was to formalise meetings where members could share their love of music and simultaneously sample the audio treasures local manufacturers and retailers could present. Since that inaugural meeting near 12 years ago, SAC has grown exponentially and enjoys ongoing enthusiast and industry support.

It’s an established audio company that dates back to 1977 – only a handful of high-profile, high-end audio companies can tout a longer history.
