With the advent of portable music players people are tending to focus on sound systems that integrate themselves with the plethora of digital music devices available today and are going for smaller units. That’s a shame. True quality can only come from an exemplary sound system and, in blunt terms, the average MP3 player dock offers substandard performance.
Luckily for audiophiles there’s a, full-sized, alternative. Steinway, the makers of the world’s finest pianos, and Peter Lyngdorf, a pioneer in the European audio industry, have come together to create a truly exceptional range of sound systems. The Steinway-Lyngdorf Home Theatre line raises the bar and comparing its output to an MP3 player dock’s offerings is like comparing vinyl to analogue tape, in that there is no comparison. Words fail. You have to hear this in action.
Combining a variety of engineering solutions into one family, the Home Theatre line includes two types of Steinway and Sons speaker packages, digital amplifiers and advanced surround sound processors. The systems are the height of elegance and, while they’re certainly fairly showy, they’re a revolution in terms of aesthetics. When talking of his clients, Lyngdorf explains, “Not only do they demand the ultimate in sonic experiences, they consider elements such as design appeal, ease of use, and quality in finishes as integral to their holistic appreciation of the product and the experience it delivers.” Quite. Where would the challenge be if we weren’t so hard to please?
The best of the bunch is the Model LS Series, ideal for the movie buffs among you whether you fancy the latest Hollywood action flick or a weepy romantic comedy, just add popcorn and you’re set. Floor to ceiling speakers, various mountable in-wall options and a modular design mean that you can tailor the system to meet your needs. So, that’s a fully customisable, top-rate home theatre system. Oh, and it looks pretty good, too. That iPod dock on your shelf’s looking a little sad now, isn’t it?
