You hit a home run on that one Eddy. It's a killer product
I am expecting the magazine on April 4th. Maybe you read it on Zinio on-line. I've heard the REIs on my speakers and one characteristic which was phenomenal was the macro dynamic range listening to jazz and orchestral music. My CDs sounded incredibly dynamic from PPPP to FFFF, instantaneous and subtle changes in dynamics. Much better than VAC that I'm used to hearing on Von Schweikert Ultras. Listening to well recorded music is often better than live (the software is cheaper and more convenient as well).Wow! Can’t wait to read. Congrats team, well deserved recognition.
Congratulations to Angus Leung of WestminsterLab (designer) and Gary Leeds of Hear This (distributor) for Robert Harley's rave review of the REI amplifier in the May/June 2024 issue of the absolute sound
I certainly agree with your thoughts on Mr. Harley's review. It pretty much sums up my impressions and why I like the Rei as much as I do. One thing I'd add from my perspective is the form factor; definitely an important element for me.I have just finished reading Robert Harley's review of the Westminster Lab Rei monoblocks in the May/June 2024 edition of The Absolute Sound. His review describes exactly what I have experienced from these extraordinary amplifiers during my 21 months of ownership, and his summary is spot on: "neutrality, high resolution, see-through transparency, dynamic liveliness and outstanding bass." I have also been amazed by the attacks, decays and 3-dimensionality, points that were also recognized by Mr. Harley: "The Rei's transient speed brings them to life, and the instruments are surrounded by little puffs of air." To my ears, the Rei's outperform amplifiers that are multiple times their cost.

In a few days, we will make great music with our bandmates. Fred and Rob of Lampizator NA will present their new Posidean DAC sensation and Vividus grounding box—Andrew from SGC, his latest server and next-generation Sonore streamer.
VSA's sensational the fabulous VR-55 Special Edition loudspeakers with Foundation ARC bass amplifiers. For mid-range and high-frequency duties, four Westminster Lab Rei monoblock amplifiers will be set up in vertical bi-amplification mode fronted by the never-seen-before dual mono Quest pre-amplifiers. Supporting things, my long-time partner, John Heins, will present his bespoke Folgenhaus equipment rack, a stunning piece of woodcraft that can compete with the best stands made while retaining the esthetic qualities of the best heirloom furniture.
Angus will also be on hand, so we hope you can stop by to say hello and share your experiences with him.
Californians, there was a rumored Angus sighting over the weekend!
Fred, Rob, Damon, Andrew, John, Angus, and I look forward to seeing you at the show!
