The Company

Our company was established in 1987. It’s a family business consisting of the father (Panagiotis) and his two sons (Costas and me, Ulysses or Odysseas as it is in Greek). We spent a lot of time creating audio devices with / for our friends trying to ease the lust for precise and musical audio reproduction equipment without resorting to the multi-thousand equipments that were laid down in hi-end shows.

So we decided to turn our passion to business. My theoretical background (Electronic Engineering Lecturer in Athens Technical College) and my brother's practical experience (Officer in Telecommunications in the Greek Army) plus my father's multiple talents (electrician, carpenter, plumber, builder and foremost spirit uplifter) allowed us to start a company that would make high quality audio equipment available to everybody.

Our main concern right from the start was the price / performance ratio and we try to stick to it. Because let’s face it. We know that super – duper, balls out, ultra special topologies implemented with the best capacitors, resistors, teflon, silver, plutonium, Kryptonite etc. etc. will make (probably) your amp (or preamp, or DAC or ......) sound better. Now add to that R&D (yeah right !), labour, packaging, shipping, marketing, support, fairy dust, snake oil, , , plus profit and you have a cost that financially justifies the term High End. But how many of us are willing to pay that amount of money? And at the end of the day, is it really worth spending 80% of your budget for a 20% (give or take) difference in sound and amplifiers that sometimes are difficult to live with ? (not everybody enjoys a "good-bias-setting-of-the-triodes-before-sitting-on-exact-on-axis-spot-of-the-huge-horns" ritual after a long day at work).

That's why we are determined to make affordable equipment that really sounds really good, is easy to live with and it is (at least we think so) nice to look at. So take a look into our products, read the specs and then take a look at the prices. If you are still not satisfied, send us an e-mail. We are familiar with the words "limited budget".
