Schooren des Alpes

Schooren des Alpes is a 21st-century take on the Tyrolean ski lodge - a bold departure from the traditional ski chalets. Nestled into the pristine Tyrolean paradise Kappl, 4 kilometres from Ischgl, Schooren des Alpes is uncompromisingly modern, but its architecture complements the magnificent scenery spectacularly. Only 12 sleek and ultra-modern mountain homes are available for sale - this is limited edition Alpine living at its best.

The serene setting also provides a stunning backdrop for the 330m² Wellness Spa with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, Hammam, sauna and pool lounge facilities. Underground parking, ski/snowboard storage and additional private storage areas for wine or fine art collections ensure Schooren des Alpes will remain the benchmark for luxury lifestyle ski properties for years to come.

The residences will be synonymous with luxury and fine living, offering stylish living spaces ranging from 135 to 261m². Each residence will be completely unique and bespoke for each buyer.

Schooren des Alpes is so beautifully functional and quietly inspiring that it's hard to believe its close proximity to Ischgl, rated Europe’s best holiday resort playground, and the overabundance of year round indoor and outdoor activities the region offers.

Ischgl is just 80 minutes from Innsbruck, at altitude of 1,400m. With 235km of slopes and more than 40 top modern lifts, the resort is one of the largest ski areas in the Alps. With 90% of the skiing between 2,000m and 2,872m, this snow-sure resort has guaranteed skiing from the end of November to the beginning of May. The Kappl lift will be connected to St. Anton by winter 2011, creating one of the world's most amazing ski areas, directly accessible from Schooren des Alpes

This is a rare opportunity to buy a luxury ski residence in the Tyrol.

Schooren des Alpes is mixing contemporary architecture, frosted Alpine peaks and luxury amenities with altitude.

800 Series Diamond from Bowers & Wilkins

Bowers & Wilkins has announced the launch of the 800 Series Diamond. The first new incarnations of the legendary 800 Series for six years brings Bowers & Wilkins closer to the ultimate ambition of its founder, John Bowers - to create a transducer that truly neither adds to nor subtracts from the original signal.

The 800 Series has long been the world’s premier high-end loudspeaker range. Designed for the home, but offering levels of quality such that the most demanding recording and mastering studios in the world choose to use them. Abbey Road Studios in London and Skywalker Sound in California both use Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series.

The already un-rivalled levels of performance are boosted by the implementation of Bowers & Wilkins’ famous diamond tweeter technology throughout the whole range, including the new 805 Diamond, a speaker that brings diamond tweeters into the range of more discerning listeners than ever before.

Further major advances in audio-critical areas provide the entire range with a dramatic leap forward in terms of audio quality compared to the outgoing 800 Series. The diamond dome tweeter is now a quad-magnet design, which increases efficiency and improves the dynamic range of the top-end performance. A new surround material aids dispersion characteristics, and provides a more stable stereo image while increasing openness.

At the other end of the tonal scale, bass performance has also improved with the introduction of a new dual magnet motor system, which utilises powerful neodymium magnets. This innovative design improves the linearity of the bass drivers’ performance, therefore reducing harmonic distortion.

Serious work has also gone into the small details that combine to make a loudspeaker special. New Bowers & Wilkins-designed oxygen-free-copper speaker terminals and links ensure the signal quality into the speaker is the best possible. All models’ crossovers feature a new design of capacitor using a unique silver, gold and oil construction. This component, chosen subjectively by Bowers & Wilkins engineers, in itself provides a dramatic increase in sound quality.

Elsewhere, proprietary Bowers & Wilkins technologies such as Kevlar® FSTTM mid-range drivers, NautilusTM tube-loaded tweeters, Matrix enclosures and the unique sphere/tube heads on the two largest speakers in the range, remain as acoustically valid as ever.
