Hear More Music

Think Spring 2013...we sell and install weatherproof high-quality speakers for the deck, patio and pool.

Double your art scene fun this weekend.  We'll be at J.R. Kortman Center for Design and Art Studio for First Friday this Friday evening and Saturday for the annual Rockford Artscene.  Stop by, see amazing original art from very talented local artists and hear great sounding music in the upstairs sound.gallery, provided by hear.more.music.  Hope to see you there.

Call us to find out how.  Sonos + hear.more.music. = Spontaneous House Party!!

Anthem is the electronics division of the high-performance speaker company, Paradigm.  If you want sheer power and performance to drive floor-standing loudspeakers, consider the 225.  It is a amplifier with no AM/FM tuner.  All of your components connect to the 225 including your CD player, tuner, Sonos, turntable, speakers, etc.  Available in black or silver by special order.  This is a premier stereo amplifier for those wanting top-end performance.

For home theater enthusiasts that want top-of-the-line performance, the Anthem MRX300, 500 and 700 are quite simply the finest home theater receivers on the market today.  If you want the best, this is it.

Think of Anthem as the Porsche, Mercedes, Lamborghini or BMW of audio video receivers.

Available from your authorized Paradigm and Anthem dealer in Rockford...hear.more.music.

Much has been written about the marriage of audio, video and computers.  The new Decco65 from Peachtree Audio can replace your receiver, becoming the 'hub' for all of your peripheral components.

You can connect a computer, laptop or Macbook and enjoy the music stored on them thru the Decco65 and a pair of loudspeakers.  Also connect the new Apple TV (pictured above) and stream movies, music.  The Sonos Connect is also a perfect companion peice to the Decco65.

If you have any questions on how to add the Peachtree Audio Decco65 to your current system, or how to build a new system around one, please call us at 815.877.6832.

People now are using many different wireless devices to access internet content from their homes and workplace.  Unfortunately many times we find customers with older wireless routers. Expectations are not met as they generally do not fully carry the signal thruout the home effectively.

We sell and install EnGenius wireless routers and repeaters.  They offer higher broadcast range with more sending power.  Their repeaters are a great way to extend the wireless signal to far-reaching parts of the home, back decks, patios and yards too.

Don't expect cheap or old wireless routers to effectively send data around your home.  Multiple laptops, iPhones, iPads, Kindle's, etc each eat up bandwith when all are being used at the same time.  Upgrade your wireless network!

If you are a Led Zepplin fan you will love this.  Mark you calendar, October 17th the new Celebration Day concert from Zep's 2007 London reunion concert will be shown in theaters.  Don't miss it!

Pick your preferred finish.  Use them as main stereo speakers, extra speakers in additional rooms around the house (Sonos' Connect works great with the A2!) or in a more casual room...connect your iPod or mp3 player directly for great sounding music.

Paradigm manufacturers great sounding speakers.  They offer outdoor, in-ceiling/wall, bookshelf, floorstanding and home theater speakers.  They specialize in audio...just like we do!

Enjoy music stored on your iPhone and iPad using an AppleTV2, your device and speakers with a Peachtree Audio amplifier.  We offer all of these products and installation.  All you need to do is sit back and enjoy...

 

Peachtree/AirPlay_® Initiative

 

Stream music and video directly from your smart phone and make it sound better than you ever dreamed.

 

This is all you need for a very high quality music system. No computer required.

 

• Download to your smart phone or tablet any of the many streaming services like Pandora, Spotify, Last.fm or our favorite, MOG. There are many more available, too.
• Get Apple TV for $99.
• Hook it up to the Peachtree decco65 or nova125 integrated amp with an optical cable.
• Stream any of these music or radio services from your smart phone or tablet to Peachtree via the Apple TV AirPlay.

 

AirPlay the right way…

The Apple TV_® gets our strongest recommendation for AirPlay technology.

Here's why: AppleTV is so much more than AirPlay built in to a receiver. 
Whereas built-in AirPlay streams music only, the Apple TV streams both music and video from your computer, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or even Android and PC. It also directly streams content from Netflix, Apple Movies, YouTube, and many more.

Better news? It’s only $99.

When you own a Peachtree, you can utilize the Apple TV optical digital out so everything sounds great. Every aspect of streaming music is immediately transformed and dramatically improved because the digital signal goes directly from the Apple TV to the Peachtree’s onboard ESS Sabre DAC.

There’s more! 
Once the digital music has been converted to analog, the signal is routed through a vacuum tube (on Peachtree integrated amps and preamps) to further smooth, improve and enhance your digital music. You can switch it on and off via the remote control and go from solid-state to tube on the fly.

 

I already have an Apple TV and an iPhone. What else do I need?

 

• For a simple one-box solution, go with one of our integrated amps. Just add speakers. All of the Peachtree integrated amps are 5 products in one: Amp, Preamp, Tube Buffer, Headphone Amp and ESS Sabre DAC.
• If you have a system that you like, just add an outboard DAC, like the iDac or DAC•iT.
• If you have an older set of separates with an analog preamp, the novaPre or Grand Pre is an excellent replacement and will give you all of the digital inputs you’ll ever likely need.

 

Network note: As with all streaming devices and control devices, we recommend a good, strong network to prevent dropouts or slow downloads and to control latency.

Here's all you do:

1. Set up Apple TV following Apple instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437
2. Use an optical cable to hook up Apple TV to a Peachtree amp, preamp or DAC.
3. Time to AirPlay. Whip out your chosen smart phone or tablet, pull up MOG and select the AirPlay icon. Now you have full 320kbps streaming up to 12,000,000 tracks from your device - and sounding killer.

 

The optical out on the Apple TV provides outstanding sound quality.

System 1: 
decco65, D4 speakers, Apple TV $1500 

System 2: 
nova125, D5 speakers, Apple TV $2300

Peachtree's $2K System at T.H.E. Show Newport 2012

“[Here] was a jewel of an affordable system, being operated here by Peachtree’s David Solomon. Peachtree’s new decco65 D/A integrated amplifier ($899), which uses a 24-bit ESS Sabre DAC and offers 65Wpc into 8 ohms, drove Dynaudio DM2/6 bookshelf speakers, the system being completed with an Apple TV and cables to give a total cost of $2000.”

Outstanding 
“This was one of the best and smartest systems of the show, in my opinion, because it offers sound that an audiophile can love while providing the simplicity and versatility that everyone wants - all at a real-world price. I think it's also important to note that Dave Solomon and Peachtree's "Ambassador of Awesome," Jonathan Derda, provide outstanding demonstrations - clear, comprehensive, and fun.” 
Stephen Mejias commented on June 8, 2012

Twin Play:5 loudspeakers for great stereo sound.  Add one Sonos SUBwoofer for low bass.  Your living room or family room never sounded better.

Give us a call, email or tweet to set up the installation...or just to ask questions.
