🌎 The highly anticipated Revival Atalante 7 EVO speakers are finally here!
The inscription “designed, developed and manufactured in France” is highlighted on the box as well as their weight of 81KG. When the Focal Scala Utopias look small in comparison, we’re talking about big guys. They sell for $15,995/pair including their stand which is not an option, they are rather essential to their sound. Come visit […]

We are now officially stockists of Borresen loudspeakers.
After the usual checks and tests carried out for almost two weeks, I concluded that these Borresen X2s are serious speakers and that their quality/performance/finish/aesthetics/price ratio is more than interesting. We keep them carefully and you can come and audition them at the store to judge for yourself! Christian 🌎
The perfect amplifier and the perfect speaker or the perfect marriage according to some experts or some internet “snobs” …
Feelings and emotions versus specifications: For a long time, I have wanted to talk to you about this, about my past, my brief experience in the studio and on stage but above all about my observations during my 30 years of selling audio and advising people. Music, this art which has the power to move […]
🌎 Today was a very special day for us!
Sylvain Pichette from Stable 33.33 came in with his latest creation: the Stable Immuable turntable which was presented for the first time at the Montreal Audiofest last March. It was assembled and calibrated by the master himself and it is now available to listen at the boutique. We are privileged to have enthusiasts like Sylvain […]

A nice article by Robert Schryer in PMA magazine on the importance of the power supply in an audio system.
It was a pleasure for me to contribute to this article by giving a little of my recipe and it is always interesting to have the point of view of people who work in the industry. Happy reading!

It is no surprise that some of our suppliers are announcing price increases.
At Focal, tomorrow will be the last day to order before increases of between 4 and 8%. At Wattson Audio there is a 15% increase already in effect since yesterday. With the announcements of customs tariffs on both sides of the borders, the Canadian dollar falling, transport costs increasing, all of this reminds us a […]
As read in PMA Magazine recently!
Here is the table of royalties 💰to artists, the piece of pie as they say. It’s extremely sad to see these numbers 🤔 and it’s more than obvious that Qobuz deserves our full attention. Qobuz, this French company 🇫🇷, which in 2023 concluded an agreement with Quebecor ⚜️to broadcast its platform in Canada 🇨🇦. With […]
