We Kiwis are a lot smarter than we give ourselves credit for.  I know, it is quite a statement, but I keep having jaw dropping moments when I look at the amount of talent we hide in all corners and nooks of the country. And it goes well beyond the number 8 wire ingenuity.

A great example is the Perreaux products. If you are a seasoned audiophile you will be familiar with the brand. If not, it’s about time you get to know them. 

There is no job more awesome in this world than the one that helps people realize a lifelong dream.  We at Rapallo are in the business of just that and we love it!‘This is the best place ever!’ are Gabe’s words as soon as we walk through the door for this interview, a few weeks after completing his new home.Gabe and his wife have moved away from the rat race now that the kids are grown up and have moved out. They went for the dream home and got exactly what they had it mind.  For Gabe’s wife that meant a kitchen with a sea view, for Gabe it was a home theatre that topped the list. Once they started planning the home theatre a multi-room audio system was added to the project.

To start off with, we would like to wish you all a happy and healthy 2017.As we are sporting a bit of a tan behind the computer and still getting the sand out of our togs, we at Rapallo are currently watching what is the talk of town at CES in Las Vegas.  CES is THE spot for consumer electronic brands to announce new and potentially innovative products to the world. It tends to be an indicator of where the market is going and we intend to bring back a full report of what caught our attention as far as AV goes in a week or two.
