“With imaging, depth and palpability to die for Penaudio Rebel2 speakers ($1500), Blue Circle Music Pump amplifiers ($799), and Music Purse preamp ($499), Wadia 861B CD player ($6250) and Blue Circle BC95 cabling combined for sound that belied the setup`s size—and fashion appeal.”

“For such a small country as Finland, the last thing I expected to discover was another talented speaker designer. For years I`ve admired Gradient`s bass dipole designs, whose airy, non-boxy bass character, shown through, even under show conditions. And now, it`s Penaudio`s Sami Penttilä who takes the limelight. The stacked Chara+Charisma ($5550 per pair), a floor-standing three-way design, made a fine impression.”
