Wrensilva Studio Record Console
The rippled front panel on the Wrensilva Studio isn't decoration. It's an acoustic diffuser, scattering sound from the pair of 100-watt Class D ICEpower speakers flanking it outward. Built in San Diego from hand-selected North American walnut, the console is compact enough to anchor a room, with an integrated belt-drive turntable under a smoked acrylic lid and storage below for up to 40 albums. The sound was voiced by Grammy-winning mixer Manny Marroquin and Giles Martin, son of Beatles producer George Martin, two people whose living rooms presumably don't sound bad. The turntable runs an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge on a frosted acrylic platter, a built-in headphone amp handles late-night listening, and a pre-out feeds any external components you want in the chain. Four listening modes cover vinyl, Bluetooth, aux, and optional Sonos integration, letting Studio work equally well as a standalone rig or as the vinyl source for a whole-home system. Six to eight weeks out of a San Diego workshop and it might be the last audio component you buy.
