Wolf Audio Systems Luna

Description

The Luna

The Luna takes everything that we loved about the Cub but brings the performance much closer to Alpha levels. Fully silent, the Luna features all the big system capabilities with room to expand as your collection does.  Possessing many of the advancements found in the Alpha 3 and Red Wolf 2, this is the perfect machine for the audiophile whose space is at a premium.

Description

Sound, power and simplicity. While the Cub is a great system, its size made implementation of some of our newest techniques difficult. We decided that it was time to move on from the Cub form factor to a larger chassis, taking the advances and experience we’d aquired from the Alpha 3 and adapting them. The Luna is fast, more capable and even better sounding than the Cub, letting you take full advantage of your entire digital media collection, all available from one device with room on the rack for other components. From MP3 to DSD, CD to Blu-Ray, the Alpha 3 is a state of the art ticket to an outstanding performance.
