Post by: Hugh on 5 Feb 2016, 04:43 pm

Good morning folks,

Some (most) of You had already know about me personally and ACA (Angel City Audio) for the past few years.

Thanks,

Hugh Nguyen

Brad,

Oops & Thanks. :)

We started out as Melody US Distributor, along with some other brands.

Eventually, recognizing there is a void for a center channel to match with the Onix Ref3 so we came out with our Trinity monitor speakers and we are rather proud of what we have accomplished.
Recently, we also released our first tower speaker named Seraphim and they have generated quite a buzz among visitors to our showrooms as well as great write-ups from reviewers.

Thanks again Brad for the nudge.

Hugh

Hi Hugh...Ive stopped by the ACA room at RMAF for the last few years...considering a Melody amp to run the top modules of my VS Vr-4 Sr. speakers.  Id be running it through an Odyssey Candela pre,  paired with my Odyssey mono blocks running the bass modules....I like the large transformers on the Melody and the fact it has a volume control to adjust to output of the mono blocks.....Im hoping the Melody would be a good match with the Odyssey Kismet Hybrids and the VR-4 speakers in this configuration....Good luck at Axpona! :D

It should work fine.

Please let us know which model you are interested in then I'll take care of you.

Thanks,

Recent event had come to our attention and so we feel a need to post a public notification for your information.

The website www.melodyamplifier.com is not from Melody.
Instead, it's from Pacetech, Melody distributor in Italy.
They claim to be Melody Global Agent which is not true.

Be careful.

It is our great honor to be mentioned in the latest article of audiophilereview.com.

It's always been ACA mission to give to our music lovers the best possible products for their hard-earned money.

"... Another example is one of my current favorite speakers, the ACA Seraphim, which gets colossal "punch" (and really "kicky" kick drums) from paired drivers only 6 ½ inches in diameter..."

Comparison of Melody I2A3 and Pass Labs Integrated 30A.

The article may be old but, IMO, is still valid.
