Line Magnetic Audio – Art for the Heart
In contemporary Hi-fidelity, people would like us to believe that technical achievements in the field of music playback provide a tonal quantum leap.
Readers who share this idea better opt out here and navigate to the recent test reports of the common hi-fi magazines. We don't want to convert anyone but address ourselves to those whose search remains unsatisfied, who might recall an unforgettable moment, a particular song in a particular demonstration. A moment which does not remind you of a notably spectacular tone, but of a notably intensive emotion that never again could be reproduced and you actually wonder why. Some constantly change components, tweak here, fumble there but find no rest. Others are listening to tones, but don't get into the music.
As already mentioned in the previous page, our pivotal and unforgettable moment was the voice of “Barbara“ at a demonstration of L'Audiophile, sometime in the 1980s, in a location near Place Pigalle in Paris, played on a system with speakers from the beginning of cinema technology; WE 15A and WE 555 drivers. It was hard to believe that this amazing quality could be achieved with such vintage equipment.
The product line of Line-Magnetic follows this idea – to revive what was lost. Consequently Line-Magnetic is devoted to one of the best systems the engineers of the early days of "sound on film" have developed, Western Electric in the USA. On European side there were names like Klangfilm, Westrex, Cinemeccanica, Vitavox, AGA.
The results are impressive.

In all reconstructs, special emphasis was placed on using the same materials as the originals to preserve both the visual and sonical qualities.
