The Renaissance Roadshow: Whisky a Go Go in Edinburgh! The Renaissance Roadshow returns to home turf on Thursday 7th May with a special event at Loud & Clear Edinburgh. At the heart of the day will be the award-winning Audiovector R 10 Arreté loudspeakers that will be playing in the beautiful Edinburgh showroom. To add a different flavour to the occasion, Tailored Spirits will be offering free whisky tasting sessions. This is a unique opportunity to enjoy exceptional speakers paired with premium spirits. Guests will enjoy a lively and informative presentation from the Renaissance team and Hans-Henrik from Audiovector, followed by an unforgettable listening session. There will be whisky tasting sessions and, for those who are not fans, they can try the wine, sherry or port used for ageing the whisky. In addition to the R 10 Arreté, the full range of Audiovector loudspeakers will be on display. Warm hospitality, friendly conversation, and good music are guaranteed. “This promises to be a great event featuring the perfect combination of extraordinary hi-fi, good music and exceptional whisky,” said John Carroll, Managing Director of Renaissance. “I know that our guests will love this opportunity to hear the R 10 Arretés. After all, it’s not every day that one gets the chance to listen to a pair of £129,500 loudspeakers in a £375,000 system whilst drinking fine whisky.” Thursday 7 May 2026: 15:00 - 20:00. Loud & Clear, 94 Commercial Street, Edinburgh EH6 6LX. Demonstrations by appointment from 16:00 – 19:00. Email iain.d@loud-clear.co.uk to book. Whisky tastings: 17:00 and 18:30 (free).

If you have one minute, read these words from Audiovector's founder Ole Klifoth. "Most people tell me that their ears are not good enough to hear the difference between ordinary sound and truly great sound," says Ole. "This is a myth." Great sound does not demand effort. In fact, anyone with normal hearing can immediately hear...and feel...the difference. In fact, the better the loudspeaker, the easier it is to understand. That is why, when people hear Audiovector for the first time, the most common reaction is not a technical comment. It is an emotional connection. They smile. They relax. And very often, they feel shivers down their spine. So no, you do not need to be an expert to appreciate great sound. You just need to be human. Audiovector #loudspeakers #hifi

The May edition of Hi-Fi News features a review of the MOON 371 network amplifier - and it’s picked up another gong! This time, it’s the Hi-Fi News Outstanding Product Award. “The MOON 371 is playfully flexible – but also a serious performer.” “… generously specified with its connections, from Roon to MM/MC phono, but this user-friendly nature goes hand-in-hand with a mature sonic delivery that combines clarity and insight with dynamic flair and heft. A thumbs up for the amp’s styling too…” If you’re looking for a one-box, do-it-all solution, get in touch with us. MOON by Simaudio #hifi #amplifier #streamer

For our special event at Loud & Clear Edinburgh on 7th May, we have selected the Audiovector R 10 Arreté loudspeakers as its centrepiece. Here’s the reason why, in the words of our Managing Director, John Carroll: "The Renaissance portfolio is full of exceptional, award-winning products, and the Audiovector R 10 Arreté stands out as one of the most extraordinary. As the flagship of the Audiovector range, the R 10 Arreté is a definitive statement piece. From the moment it was unveiled, it set a new benchmark, not just for Audiovector, but for what is possible in high-end audio. It may well be the finest loudspeaker ever to have graced the Renaissance portfolio. The R 10 Arreté represents the best of Audiovector’s design and craftsmanship. It combines careful engineering, premium components, and thoughtful attention to detail to deliver music as realistically as possible. The result is a sound that is both wide and precise, creating a spacious soundstage while keeping instruments and voices clearly defined. Bass is deep, fast, and supremely controlled. The midrange is open, natural, and richly detailed, while the treble is refined, revealing space and the subtlest nuances with complete ease. Every time I listen to it at lower volume levels, it draws me in, and when I turn it up, it absolutely blows me away. It's a rare thing for a speaker to be so refined and yet so dominant when required. If you are looking for the loudspeaker of a lifetime, then this is the one for you."

The MOON 371 network amplifier has received ANOTHER award, this time SoundStage!’s Reviewers’ Choice. The review delivers the perfect summary of one of our favourite products: "...an integrated amplifier that feels thoroughly modern - not only because of its feature set, but also because of how intelligently those features are implemented. Built entirely in Canada and backed by a ten-year warranty, the Moon 371 offers a compelling blend of performance, practicality, and long-term value. For listeners seeking to simplify their systems without surrendering serious hi-fi credibility or for those looking to build up a great system and find an anchor for it, the 371 is a feature-rich amplification centerpiece that can provide stellar sonic performance likely to last through many iterations of speaker or turntable upgrades. It’s what I like to call a keeper component..."

John had an excellent trip to the very busy Audio Show Deluxe in Northamptonshire last weekend. He really enjoyed checking out the exhibitors, catching up with old friends, and making some new ones along the way. If you were there, take a look through the photos - you might even spot yourself. It’s a slick, well-organised show that he’d highly recommend adding to your hi-fi calendar. @audioshowdeluxe #hifi #event

We'll be back on home turf, as it will be held at Loud & Clear Edinburgh, where you'll be able to experience Audiovector’s new flagship loudspeaker, the R 10 Arreté. More details will be revealed soon, but we can already guarantee great tunes and fun times! www.renaissanceaudio.co.uk/roadshow Audiovector #loudspeakers #launchevent #edinburgh

Speaker Special In the March issue of Hi-Fi+, four Audiovector loudspeakers were selected for Editor's choice: R 3 Signature, QR 3 SE, Trapeze Reimagined and R 10 Arreté.. The grading system confused us at first - only a two-driver rating for the QR 3 SE? Call us greedy, but we like five stars! Then we realised that the driver rating equates to UK prices. So the QR 3 SE is a brilliant speaker at a great price point. We love that! https://www.renaissanceaudio.co.uk/audiovector/p/qr-3-se #loudspeakers #danish #awardwinning

ROOM-SHAKING TECHNO? The March issue of Hi-Fi+ is a must-read – a speaker special featuring a review of the Audiovector R 3 Arreté floorstander. It’s a loudspeaker we’re big fans of, and in his review, editor Alan Sircom writes exactly how we feel: "It doesn't matter if you are playing some techno at room-shaking levels or playing some cerebral chamber music, the result is the same. It's always a musically exciting and inspiring event." Want to read the full review? The magazine is on sale now. Want to hear the R 3 Arreté for yourself? Get in touch.
