Roksan K2 CD + Amplifier + Acoustic Energy Aelite 3 Speakers

Roksan K2 CD & AMP with Acoustic Energy Aelite 3 floorstanding speakers

Acoustic Energy Aelite 3

Introducing the AELITE Series of loudspeakers. A New mid-fi collection of speakers, using modern design techniques in drive unit technology and cabinet enclosure construction.

Following with AE tradition, lightweight high-efficiency alloy cones housed in die-cast aluminium chassis are used for the mid/ bass driver units, providing a fast, tight bass response with optimum detail and clarity.

The AELITE flagship speaker is an orchestra of design, engineering and performance; stunning to behold and listen too. The AELITE 3 utilises the same high quality HF unit from the rest of the AELITE range and compliments this with a 110mm midrange unit and two powerful 125mm bass units. The result is a floor standing loudspeaker of unequalled presentation that will give a range of performance from the most detailed violin to the largest movie explosion. The AELITE three also offers the facility to be mass loaded, foam tuning plugs are also supplied for the rear firing ports. These features enable the low frequencies of the AELITE Three to be tuned to suit the listening environment and equipment of the user.

Roksan Kandy K2 CD And Amplifier Combination

Roksan Kandy K2 Integrated Amplifier

Kandy K2 integrated is designed and refined to what would be expected of amplifiers classified as hi-end and costing twice its price. The new K2 sounds far more accurate, more delicate and even more powerful than its award winning predecessor the Kandy

L.III. True dynamics and musical capabilities of the K2 enhance the enjoyment and provide insight to all types of music. The sound stage and musicians have the realistic ‘sound’ and ‘air’ about them that is achieved by the highest class amplifiers around.

Thanks to its superior design and use of highest quality components, the K2 sets a new standard for true hi-end entry level amplification.

The new Kandy K2 integrated benefits from totally revised amplifier internals. The mains transformer and amplifier’s 3 AC/DC circuitry are now separated and moved to two sides away from the pre and amplifier main circuits thus dramatically reducing noise interference. After rectification circuitry, the power supply layout, distribution and tracking to different sections of the amplifier have been optimised and internal wiring minimised to ensure all sections work at their best.

Features:

New look chassis, front panel and display

New one piece Main amplifier PCB

New improved high quality signal input relays

Optimised volume control position on main amplifier PCB

New optimised one piece display PCB with headphone output socket

Symmetrical amplifier layout

Optimised power supply layout, distribution and decoupling

Improved decoupling and power regulation to all stages

Roksan Kandy K2 CD Player

Kandy K2 CD player is designed and refined to bring joy to even the most discerning listeners. It will compliment any hi-end amplifier with a performance expected only from true hi-end CD players. The new K2 sounds far more detailed, more delicate with even more vigour than its 5 star winning predecessor the Kandy L.III. Life like dynamics and musical capabilities of the K2 can now provide enjoyment and insight to all types of music. The sound stage and musicians have realistic ‘sound’ and ‘air’

about them providing separation and timing between the musicians that is achieved by the highest class CD players around. Thanks to its superior design and use of highest quality components, the K2 sets a new standard for true hi-end entry level CD replay.

The new Kandy K2 CD benefits from totally revised internals. The DAC section is now moved closer to the control section with improved circuitry and clocking system. The CD drive and data acquisition is improved to ensure the music replay is absolutely first class. Optimised control and DAC circuitry combined with careful power supply and regulation ensures signal integrity with minimal noise interference. This combined with the new D/A converter dig deep into the lowest levels of detail that add to the overal musical experience.
