The Red Wine Audio and WLM Loudspeakers Room

Like Veloce, Red Wine Audio’s components are all battery powered, though quite a bit less expensive. The loudspeakers are WLM LaScala Monitors ($4500/pair) powered by a pair of Red Wine Audio’s new reference Liliana monoblocks ($6,000/pair) at the bottom of the rack.

Also new for the show was the Isabella LFP-V preamplifier ($4000) which can be fitted with an optional USB DAC ($1500), which is also available separately as the Isabellina.

I’m not sure why they showed the Ginevra MC/MM phonostage ($3000) as there was no turntable in sight. Music was being source from Red Wine Audio’s newly introduced, battery powered CD-1 transport ($500). Surely this was a prototype as it was all plastic and looked completely out of place.
