Ground Floor, Hamilton Room - Arke Audio
Arke Audio have a modular approach to speaker design and upgrades. Come to an hourly (on every hour) demonstration of this innovative transformation from 2-way to 3-way... plus a couple of bass enhancer to really shake things up!
The system will comprise a front end of Denafrips Arcas streamer, Denafrips Terminator 15th DAC, Big Bottle Audio BT2 preamplifier and Big Bottle Audio LPSU 6525 Purifi power amplifier.
Arke Audio will be showcasing something ground-breaking in the speaker world... We will be demonstrating the unique transformation from the Mikros two-way stand mount into a three-way, dual enclosure floor standing speaker:
the Mikros plus the Altus. The addition of the Altus fundamentally changes the crossovers of the Mikros without any internal changes - literally a 1 minute change. We will also demonstrate the addition of two Kratos 10-inch bass
enhancers - not subwoofers, but intelligent bass enhancement that integrates with the room acoustics. The biggest surprise isn't the bass either.... the soundstage takes on a whole new (third) dimension.

We will also be bringing a Goldring Lenco L75 TT with a special Arm made for us in a plywood and a brand new Corian plinth (that we are now going to put onto the website). We are also hoping to get Gareth's
old Linn LP12 going in a brand new plinth with a Vintage Jelco Arm. We are also bringing our Cadnam fully built M-4 and M-6. Photos can be found on the the website; however, one of the older Beaulieu Modern Prototypes
has been changed into a 'Steam Punk' look for people who do not like very highly polished Speakers. As we are selling basic fully built cabinets in their raw state, this shows what people can do with their own builds
