Viola Audio Laboratories Viola Audio Labs was founded in 2001 by Tom Colangelo and Paul Jayson, the two key designers who had worked with Mark Levinson at Mark Levinson Audio Systems (MLAS) and later at Cello. Whilst at MLAS, Colangelo was responsible for the design of the ML-1, ML-2, ML-3, ML-4, ML-5, ML-6, ML-6A, ML-7, ML-7A, ML-8, ML-9, ML-10, ML-11 and ML-12 products. At Cello, Colangelo and Jayson designed among other products the Audio Suite, Audio Palette, Encore preamplifiers, Performance amplifiers, RDAC D/A converter and the Stradivarius speaker line. They have therefore been responsible for some of the most important high-end audio products produced the last twenty years, which gives them the most consistent success record of any design team in the industry. Their objective with Viola Labs is to design products that are sonically neutral, as they believe that only through sonic neutrality can the listener truly be drawn into the music and experience the essential emotion within the music. Taking their earlier work at Cello as a baseline and by paying meticulous attention to all aspects of the manufacturing process from design, through build and test, to final inspection and packing, they are producing a product of the highest possible quality that will maintain its performance and give great pleasure to the owner over a life time of use. The present line-up comprises: Reference Series Spirito Reference Pre-amplifier Bravo Reference Power Amplifier Classic Series Future high-end products from Viola will include mono-block power amplifiers, an active crossover and a phono amplifier.
At the Japanese High End Audio Show last year the Spirito and Bravo enabled Viola Products to receive the "Best Sound" award. Viola products also received "Best Sound" awards last year at shows in Thailand and Beijing. For information on Viola Labs, visit their website at www.violalabs.com
