David Abramson of Stereo Times reviews the Signature 30.2 and raps poetic:
"Elegantly simple, functionally flawless and sonically whole, I couldn’t pass this one by. At the price, it strikes me as an utter sonic triumph and serves to remind me daily that different isn’t always better, though sometimes it very definitely is!"
Paul & Patrick Candy cover the 2008 FSI Show for 6moons (again)!
"After the show I asked Patrick to pick one overall favorite room and he chose this one [Red Wine/Omega] without hesitation. I asked why and he replied that he loved how Linkin Park sounded, especially the guitars. He said other speakers either smoother over the edges or sounded too bright and thin. Louis' speakers made the guitars sound more real. He also said that these guys are fun to talk to and take him seriously and don't treat him like a kid. I think there's a lesson to be learned here, dontcha think?" Paul Candy, 6moons
On April 4th - 6th, we will be exhibiting at the Festival Son & Image Expo in the heart of downtown Montreal. Please visit us in Room 907, along with Omega Loudspeakers and Hudson Audio Imports.
The new Signature
30.2 gets the
big nod
from Srajan
Ebaen of
6moons as
one of his
year's Favorites.
But wait,
there's
more;
"Minimalist
to the core,
with top-notch
parts and
a deeply
tweaked
circuit,
this amplifier
has already
sidelined
$45,000/pr
battery-powered
monos, given
$10,000/pr
muscle amps
the fly-bye
finger and
butted heads
with first-rate
tube amps.
I'll tip
my hand
and reveal
prior to
the full
review conclusion
that the 30.2
will walk
away with
a Lunar
Eclipse
Award in
the new
year,
only the
fourth one
to be given
out in our
5 years
of operation."
"The
Signature
70s have
an astonishingly
warm, sweet
and open
midrange
that is
every bit
as good
as, if not
slightly
better than,
many valve
amplifiers
I have heard." - Adam
Smith, HI-FI World
Stereophile's
Stephen
Mejias Blogs
the new
5/5.5 Gen.
iMod. Read
it HERE.
"Whether
you are
listening
to your
headphones
(via a headphone
amp) or
in a full-blown
system,
the effect
is not subtle...
The iMod
has to be
one of the
best values
in hifi
today! I
can't remember
the last
time I spent
200 bucks
and got
this much
of a jump
in performance."
6moons covers FSI
and Red
Wine/Omega
make a big
hit with
the Candys! Patrick
thought
this system
was:
"...very
easy to
listen to.
Music was
very direct
with less
stuff in
the way
and I liked
how the
guitars
sounded.
The battery
stuff is
cool too
plus everything
is compact
so it could
fit in my
bedroom".

Wine/Omega
room gets

Love from Stereophile.

Deutsche's
Show Report HERE.
"The system
being demoed
used a pair
of the Red
Wine Audio
Signature
70 monoblocks
($2999/pair),
driving
single-driver
speakers
($2495 MaxHemp
or $949
Super 3XRS)
from Omega
Speaker
Systems.
The source
was a battery-powered
computer
server,
so that
the only
AC-powered
devices
in the room
were some table lamps.
I can't
say whether
it was the
battery
power source
or some
other aspect
of these
designs,
but the
sound was
uncommonly
natural
and easy-on-the-ears."
The Red Wine/Omega room grabs a Maximum Mojo Award for "Best Small System" from StereoMojo!
"The combination of the [Red Wine Audio] amps and Omegas was as clear as the Canadian mountain streams. Something about the synergy here is just, well, RIGHT."
"Vinnie
Rossi has
taken a
tiny iPod
and turned
into a giant
killer"
"There isn’t
an iPod
on the planet
that can
compare
to this
one. Let
alone some
CD players
under $1,500."
"The
iMod is
a brave
attempt
at taking
one the
most successful
personal
electronic
devices
ever to
a higher
level of
performance.
Add it or
Red Wine
Audio's
modded Olive
Music Server
to a pair
of Sig 70s
and you
would have
the foundation
for a superb
sounding,
readily
portable,
minimalist
system minus
the usual
snake pit
of power
cables and
line conditioners.
A little
revolution
now and
then is
a good thing,
no? Viva
la revolución!"
"The RWA Signature
30 and modded Olive
Symphony are gathering
tons of very positive
press and for very
good reason. They
embarrass just about
everything else
I've heard near
their price range
and are way more
fun and musical
than just about
anything else I've
toyed with. Both
are highly recommended."
The Dagago review of
the Olive Musica
Server Modification
by Laurence A. Borden
is HERE.
"In my opinion,
Vinnie has scored
another home run
with the modified
Olive Musica music
server. I recommend
it enthusiastically."
Michael Lavorgna of 6moons has just
released a new"Road Tour" articleof our custom, all battery-powered
system consisting of the Signature 30
RWA modified Olive music server,
and the new Omega Open Baffle speaker
prototypes.
Check this one out!
The 6moons review of the Signature 30 by Srajan Ebaen is HERE!
"The Signature 30 is a true breakthrough...
lowering the price of admission
and box count significantly enough
to belong into our -- still very
short -- list of Realsization Award
winners... This is one of the three
best transistor amps I've heard
yet."
"One of those components is the
Olive Symphony music distribution/storage/CD
player that I recently told you
about. Vinnie does lots of modifications
that I won't go into in great depth
but one that I will tell you about.
He changes the Symphony to run on
batteries. The unit still plugs
into the wall, but when you're listening
to it all the power comes from the
new battery. Noise coming
from your home AC line - and in
my home there's a lot of noise -
is totally eliminated.The difference is astounding!"
