Beautifully finished, utterly practical and incredibly elegant
The thick shelves and solid uprights make for incredibly sturdy levels – and I use the term advisedly. Once set up the rack remained utterly stable for the duration of the show as it too, contributed to the overall performance of the system.

Wanaka - Sounds so natural and yet powerful at the same time
We observe that the definition improves, as if sharpening a photo in Photoshop or pressing a relief stamp harder onto a sheet of paper. The low tones delve deeper and sound fuller, without becoming muffled. The high tones transform into a mist of fresh, clear water. An interesting detail, the volume also increases.

Restore the best performance of the HiFi system
"After adding the Tongariro TR, not only did the softer sounds become more delicate, but the dynamic range of percussion, symphony, and rock music became more powerful and lively.

Tongariro TR is the one you will be reluctant to take away after the AB test."
