Recently, we had a customer ask if we could build them a pair of DC-Cinema LCR on-wall speakers in a custom Tasmanian Blackwood timber finish, instead of the standard black textured paint. 'Sure!', we said. The Tasmanian Blackwood veneer was hand selected by our cabinet maker and as you can see, they came out looking absolutely stunning.

The good news? We had one spare pair built, and available for a lucky customer. Priced at $3499, delivered to your door.

This beautiful, custom pair of loudspeakers will not last long, get in touch with us on 08 8363 9996 or [email protected] if you want to snap them up!

When it comes to designing loudspeakers, we will do multiple simulations, dozens of prototypes and tons of measurements.

But what is most important is the listening. Ultimately, it's our ears that tell us whether we are on the right track or not, and it is down to the listening that will determine if the design is finally complete.

Here is a recent pic of our designer Nick listening to a prototype pair of our latest release, the i66 MKV.

We strongly agree with the positive comments in this Stereonet review of the new Wiim Sound Smart speaker.

Does it sound as good as a VAF loudspeaker? No, of course not! But, if you're in the market for a small wireless speaker to have in your home office, kitchen etc that offers good sound, features and excellent ease of use, this little speaker is fantastic and very well priced. Available at VAF.

First production pair of our new Signature i66 MKV in a stunning Jarrah finish are fresh off the factory floor, and on their way to a happy customer in Tasmania. We couldn't resist firing them up in the showroom first - testing is very important! They looked and sounded spectacular - we didn't want them to leave. We are proud as punch to see 12 months of hard work finally materialised, in this utterly beautiful pair of loudspeakers.
