News from our Norwegian Distributor 

The Lab Series Integrated amplifier has been given a silver medal in the High End class in the major Norwegian magazine "Lyd og Bilde". This is despite its retail price being below the cut off point for true High End.
Vario A/S has received the same award from the Swedish magazine "Ljud och bild hemma".
The Laboratory Series CD Player, Integrated Amplifier and Pro Nine Plus are about to be reviewed in another leading Swedish magazine.
Further Vario A/S have sold a Laboratory Series integrated amp and 200 WPC power amplifier to a "Lyd og Bilde" reviewer and he is testing a bi-wiring combination of this set up in the magazine.
A solo test of the CD player has also been agreed as well as a full test of the CD Player, the Amplifier and the Trios is also scheduled.
These tests will also appear in Sweden. We also have interest in Denmark but so far we have nothing to send there for testing.
"This marvellous amplifier doesn’t put a foot wrong. Detail, power and dynamics are all class-leading, while the build, finish and features add to a satisfying package."
