Le Festival Son et Image de Montréal 2005
Report by Rick Becker
Brooklyn Audio was showing deHavilland electronics combined
with Nola Viper Signature loudspeakers to produce yet
another Best Rooms. The front end was a
Naim disc player. The deHavilland preamplifier is $3500 US and
the Aries 845G monoblocks are $7500 US including the tube cages and
845 tubes. I believe this was the first time I've heard the
deHavilland products and one of the few that I've heard the Nola
(Alon). The Viper Signatures were modest in size with a tasteful
contemporary design that could cross over into traditional décor with
a little decorating license. The Aries 845G exhibits a unique
industrial, but architectural styling that should fit well in all but
the most eloquent homes.
