THE VARÈSE MUSIC SYSTEM (call for pricing)
Varèse features a unique architecture devised for total precision and absolute fidelity. Its novel design and bespoke technologies bring a level of performance beyond anything we had previously dared dream possible.

Radical Innovation
Varèse is our most ambitious undertaking to date – the culmination of a series of intensive projects that began when we asked ourselves: how do we create an even more profound and immersive experience for music listeners of the future?

Our engineering team have developed new processes, products and protocols, once again stretching the limits of audio engineering to create our best-performing, most revealing and most intuitive music system to date.

"Varèse is the most challenging undertaking of our careers in audio. We set out to redefine state-of-the-art whilst at the same time creating an entirely new and immersive user experience.

We knew we had to embrace a singular vision, and be brave and relentless in our pursuit of this, to bring listeners a system that is measurably and demonstrably special "
