I am glad to announce we will be exhibiting at T.H.E. Show in Newport Beach June 3-5.

We will have a complete system of CIAudio electronics in Suite 308.
In addition, there will be a 2nd system driving ESS loudspeakers in Suite 306.

This should be a great show...great location on the California coast with plenty of good restaurants and night life. Hope to see you there!

Will there be any new products at the show, such as a new DAC or stereo amplifier?

[CIAudio]

We're working on a few products and might bring something new to the show     ...depends on our progress over the next few weeks.

I'll post an update closer to showtime.

Hybrid (tubed/ClassD) monoblocks??

We're trying to finish up a new product in time for the Newport Beach Show.

This will be our first in a line of new loudspeakers called the SoulSister.
It is a medium/small 3-way floor standing design using highest quality drivers & components.

If attending the show, please come by for a listen!

I'll post photos and more info after the show.

Good move.  I like the name you've chosen as well.

No photos yet...we won't have production cabinets until around the 27th.
I'll try to post a few photos before the show if time permits

Looks like I'll be bringing a prototype 24/192 USB DAC too

See you then....

How do you like the ESS speakers?   I had AMT-1's back in the day...

They still make a "Limited Edition" AMT-1 and also a newer tower design.
You can check them out at the show (they'll be next door to us).

See ya there!

Thanks to all the ACer's who came to see and hear the new SoulSister loudspeaker!
The show had great attendance and our new speaker was a big hit.

A few photos below

Is that a prototype of your new DAC?

How about some details on the new speakers?

[CIAudio]

The DAC used at the show was a prototype consisting of the VDA-2/VAC-1 circuit with our new asynchronous USB interface (connected through I2S). The production version will be much different and is still months away. This was done primarily to test the new USB interface.

The speaker shown is a pre-production prototype. I'm still working on final design changes and hope to make them available by early August.

Frequency response is 30-20k
Sensitivity is 90 dB
Dimensions are 38.5"h(with spikes) x 11"w x 14.5"d
Weight is 85 lbs. each
Cost $5000/pair

Available in 3 standard finishes: light maple(shown), medium cherry, dark walnut.
Custom veneers, piano black, and other automotive finishes will also be available at an up-charge.

We knew our first speaker needed to be something really special... reasonable size and WAF with tight powerful bass response to 30 hz, life-like midrange, and 3D imaging that makes the speakers seem to disappear. The Soul Sisters will not disappoint
