A big thank-you to everyone who visted us at the Heathrow exhibiton! We had many comments from visitors that we had one of the best sounds at the show, especily from a speaker so small. A thank-you also to Naim Audio who lent us kit to drive the speakers and Advanced Acoustics for the use of some of their wall panels.

Having just got back from the Audio & AV show, I am pleased to say that it went very well indeed. We received many comments that the Kensai and modified DEQ were delivering some of the best sounds at the show. This was only made more impressive by the small size of the Kensai and our use of a 15 year old Cyrus 3 amp and DAD7 transport as partnering equipment! I would like to thank Robert Holt who helped all weekend, purely from the kindness of his heart. A thanks also to Paul Messenger and his wife, with whom we enjoyed a good drink and swapped some music in the evening. Thanks to Nik Marina and Adam Smith from Hi-Fi World for their support. Finally a big thank you to the lady on Sunday afternoon who requested some Barry White and promptly got goose bumps! :)

At the show we will be launching our brand new product the 'Kensai'. This is an incredibly small loudspeaker, with unbelievably good sound! This will be the first time AudioSmile has exhibited at the show directly, and the first time anyone has heard the Kensai. It will be a listening experience to remember!

Our bespoke made supertweeters have been very successful since they were launched last year. Thank you to everyone who showed interest. We are now making them with a leatherette body, which looks very smart indeed. They are available in black or white as standard, and other colours for a small amount extra. A few of the wooden supertweeters still remain for a time, so if you specifically want these please let us know.
