Kudos Audio Goes Active With McIntosh
Reference Audio hosts an open day, bringing two high-end companies together for a unique audio experience.
Head to Witham, Essex, on Saturday, July 1st 2023 and enjoy a UK-first at high-end audio retailer Reference Audio. There you will experience a specially calibrated McIntosh MEN220 used to optimise and bi-amp Kudos Audio's fabulous Titan 808 floorstanding speakers.
Utilising the MEN220's phase-coherent 2-way electronic crossover, the system will also benefit from the product's room correction software. Featuring RoomPerfect software, the MEN220 automatically creates a digital model of the listening room and corrects any frequency response anomalies, delivering the perfect listening environment.
The Titan 808's mid and high-frequency drivers will be powered by a pair of McIntosh MC901 dual-mono Hybrid Drive power amplifiers.
Meanwhile, the woofers will be driven by a brace of quad-balanced MC1.25KW monoblock power amplifiers.
Controlling the system is the duty of McIntosh's range-topping dual-box C1200 Hybrid Drive preamplifier, whilst music will be supplied from the company's reference-level DAC & CD player – the MCD12000.
A truly reference-level system, this will be the first time this system has ever been experienced in the UK, so it really should not be missed.
Other Kudos Audio speakers will also be playing during the event, including the Titan 606, Titan 505 and Cardea Super 20a.
For the chance to experience this UK first and what will undoubtedly be an impressive music system, register your interest via this Eventbrite link.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
