Today we listen to more music than at any time in our history.
We're listening everywhere and anywhere, while paying less attention to how we do so.
Whether experiencing audio through the miniature plastic speakers of a laptop, the cheap
earphones connected to our mobile phones, or the small sound-systems in public areas, we
have gradually abandoned our demand for quality, and in the process, I believe, our emotional
relationship with sound.
For many years I dreamt of a sound system that would evoke one of the iconic designs
associated with our musical heritage, such as the elegant phonograph or the glossy jukebox,
while complementing virtually any interior. At the heart of this design would be a sound
system powerful enough to do justice to every kind of music (including mine!) at any volume,
combining a strong, clear bass with superb definition in the higher frequencies.
The sound system of my dreams is now a reality.
The world-class yet affordable AeroSystem
®
will gratify lovers of both music and design,
while rendering every kind of music in a multitude of platforms and formats, including
iTunes .mp3s and superior-quality .wav files. Here at last is the performance I've longed for
in the form I've desired.
I hope the AeroSystem
®
gives you as much listening pleasure in your home as it gives me
in mine.
Bonne écoute!
