Importer Reference Sounds announces the introduction of the HRS EXR Audio Stand, audio furniture for high-end equipment.
‘After the recently introduced HRS EXR Audio Stand system, we can now announce a second variant of this fantastic audio stand. The EXRDW. DW from Double Wide, 42″ or over 106cm wide thus retaining the unique features of the standard EXR stand. With that, the high load-bearing EXRDW offers a huge space to place audio components side by side at a purchase price lower than two separate EXR stands. For example, an EXRDW-1942 stand with two levels on which at least four full-size components find a place has a suggested retail price of €9,399,- In contrast, two separate EXR-1921 racks with a similar capacity come to a total of €10,898,” Reference Sounds reports.
More than a fine audio cabinet
The importer adds, “HRS Audio Stands, however, are much more than a fine audio cabinet. They provide audio components with an ultra-stable home where the ingress of mechanical vibration is minimized. A much underestimated disturbance factor in high-quality music reproduction. You can best compare the effectiveness of an HRS Audio Stand to an optimized mains filter for the power supply voltage. It effectively blocks mechanical vibration that can filter noise and so realizes nuances and tranquility in the soundstage.
Of course, HRS is not the only manufacturer of Audio Stands. Far from it, in fact. However, it is one of the few where suppressing those vibrations is the overriding design principle. Just compare the stability, rigidity and weight of an HRS Stand to any other design and you’ll see what we mean. Like a successful knuckle test on a speaker cabinet, the HRS Audio Stand is completely silent. Clearly, vibration has little chance‘.
