KEF KC62 Wins "Best Product for 2021-2022"
The KEF KC62 has been declared the very best audio product in the EISA Subwoofer Category, in this year’s prestigious EISA Awards.

This is the biggest sounding, smallest subwoofer you will find on the market today. Really? Yes Really! Okay, consider the spec's: -3dB at 11Hz with a maximum 105 dB. Again, Yes Really!? You're talking below 15Hz performance - and its small! The KEF KC62 is a subwoofer that makes even jaded audiophiles drop their jaws and go how does it do that? Cleverly. KEF uses two 6.5" with force cancelling drive units, and each voice coil is nestled inside the other, sharing a single massive magnet and powered by twin 500 watt amplifiers. Even dual 6.5" woofers will reach their limits and as we may know, subs can make an ugly "barking" noise as the woofers hit their acoustic and mechanical limits. Ugliness never occurs using KEF's proprietary 'Smart Distortion Control Technology' so that even on maximum bass volumes, the woofer is prevented from hitting its mechanical limits. Run it as hard as you like, an ugly noise just isn't in this sub's vocabulary.

The Story behind the "KEF KC65 Subwoofer"
The development of a small subwoofer that for all practical measures, performs as well as a 12" or 15" subwoofer is truly a landmark achievement! We see this type of product breakthrough once a decade. It is no wonder the SC62 won this year's EISA "Best Product" in the Subwoofer category. The KEF KC62 in on display and we want you to experience just how impressively a sub - this small - performs this big! Clean, performance below 15Hz and compact. The KEF SC62 is amazing and that's no marketing fluff. This is a breakthrough product.

JBL Synthesis Everest DD6700

One of the finest speakers on the Globe!
This is an audio speaker that can do it all. The Bi-Radial horn drivers deliver unmatched dynamic contrasts, from the quietest musical subtleties to the loudest musical sections of a heavy rock band or classical orchestra. There is a sense of dynamic effortlessness and transient response that must be heard. If you've never head a good horn-driver loudspeaker, it can be a sonic revelation, and often makes other driver designs seem dynamically lethargic and compressed. You owe it to your audiophile self to hear a speaker that embodies the term: dynamic. This is an engineering assault on audio's summit, the project nicknamed "Everest", in the effort to be one of the world's best speakers and it's here in Columbus, OH.

Ready for Audition
The JBL Everest model DD6700, is a three-way speaker with dual 15" woofers, with a 4' pure beryllium compression driver and a 1" pure beryllium ultra high-frequency driver that delivers sound that rivals the best speakers in the world. You can schedule a dedicated time for you to audition these below.

The Story behind the "Everest Project"
Under a program called Project Everest, JBL^® engineers endeavored to create the ultimate home audio loudspeaker, the Everest DD6700. Using the unrivaled R&D resources of Harman, they created the finest speaker we have ever had in our showrooms. Our display model is finished in a beautiful rosewood with other custom paint finishes available. The JBL Summit Series Everest are $37,500 each. Expensive yes, but world class is never inexpensive. We invite you to hear them and perceive music as it was intended - live musicians - playing in the room!

Seven Tips for Good Sound in Outdoor Speakers

Fact: Outdoor speakers are different. They are NOT indoor speakers made waterproof. They are engineered to sound completely different as they are being used in a completely different acoustic environment. Outdoor speakers are engineered to acoustically offset the large open expanse of the outdoors without floors, walls and ceilings to help reflect the sound and augment the bass. The outdoor speaker is acoustically engineered to deliver tight, deep bass, and a broad soundstage, so no matter where you are - outdoors - they sound impressive! Have questions about outdoor speakers and outdoor televisions? Schedule a Zoom call or reserve a dedicated time to hear our outdoor speakers.

What's new in 2019 is the highlighting of "New Urbanism" as the model for community development.

Evans Farm expresses it this way... “Evans Farm is Ohio’s only community designed around the principles of new urbanism, where shops, restaurants, parks, residential houses, and more are all within walking or biking distance of each other—so you can spend less time in rush hour and more time at happy hour.”
