Hi Everyone,
So this is a first, doing an open day to showcase 2 new brands that we have just taken on that work brilliantly together so it seems like a great excuse for another open day, to be honest I actually took both these brands on to be partnered together so be really interesting to hear what everyone thinks, so what are these new brands I hear you ask? Please see below –
Atlantis Labs
So the 1st brand we are showcasing are Atlantis Labs, you can read my thoughts in a blog I did below but needless to say these speakers have impressed me so much, we installed our 1st pair of AT16 Pro’s last week partnered with the new Naim Audio Uniti Star Lite and it sounded so good as a pairing, please see pics below, but being that these speakers are really efficient they will work extremely well with a low powered valve amp hence the introduction of Fezz Audio.

So upstairs we will be running the AT16 Pro speakers (these are the star of the range at the moment for me as they sound and look incredible but only cost £2,950, I actually don’t know how this is possible to be honest) which we are going to partner with the £4,495 Fezz Audio 300B Mira Ceti MK2 amplifier, it may only have 8 watts but with the 300B being my favourite valve this combination is going to be pretty special I’d say.
Then in our 1st downstairs room we are going to be running the AT18 Pro speakers which come in at £4,495, again incredible value, these will be partnered with the Fezz Audio Titania MK 2 amplifier, this is KT88 based pumping out a very healthy 60 watts per channel.
Then in our last demo room we will be running the bigger £5,950 AT23 Pro speakers partnered with the brand new Fezz Mira Ceti 300B Mono’s outputting 15 watts per channel with a pair costing £7,995 partnered with the matching Sagita Prestige Preamp, again I’m really looking forward to getting this system up and running.
Fezz Audio
I came across Fezz Audio when looking for a cheaper entry point for a 300B valve amp, over the last few years I have really fallen in love with the 300B but the offerings we have in the shop from Western Electric and Trafomatic are both in the £15-£20K bracket so I started looking for something more affordable to partner with the Atlantis Lab speakers and came across Fezz Audio who offer a great range of equipment for sensible money and with its award winning styling I just couldn’t resist.
I actually did some tube rolling when we first got our 300B based Mira Ceti MK2 and took out the very good PSVANE 300B’s and swapped them for what many consider the best 300B’s out there from Western Electric and the upgrade was pretty special, in fact with the WE 300B’s installed it adds around another £1,500 but to me and a customer in the shop who runs the WE91E we both agreed that the Fezz had the edge making in a great buy.
As well as integrated, stereo and mono amps Fezz also do valve Phono Stages, Preamps, Headphone amps and DAC’s, all of which we will have on demo shortly.

Personally I am really looking forward to this one as there really is something special about a really efficient speaker when partnered with a valve amp, especially when it is 300B based so look forward to sharing this day with everyone.
Please find links to Atlantis and Fezz on our website (we’re still working on Fezz) and hope to see you on the day –
