TEAC Launches Reference 500 Series Stereo Power Amplifier with Hypex NCOREx Technology

TEAC from Japan continues to expand its Reference 500 series of compact home audio components, now with the announcement of the AP-507 stereo power amplifier, based on a custom module using the latest Hypex NCOREx technology. Available in black and silver finishes, the design of the AP-507 is a clear nod to the classic hifi components from Japan with its large illuminated level meters, even if reduced to the compact dimensions of a TEAC 500 Series component.

French high end audio manufacturer Focal promoted one of the most well-attended press events at the High End show in Munich this year, where it introduced two new speakers in its Utopia III family. The two new Evo models (Evo stands for evolution) expand on the company's technological heritage, integrating its most recent innovations in the new Scala and Maestro models, with more to come. The new Utopia III Evo models will be available from August 2017.
