MOON Prepares For Montreal Audiofest 2025

As part of MOON's world tour, the Canadian brand is excited to demonstrate the 641 and 681 models from the company's award-winning North Collection on home turf.

The MOON 641 will act as the system's centrepiece, housing a preamplifier and a power amplifier in a single unit. It will drive a pair of Dynaudio Contour Legacy loudspeakers we recently experienced at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show.

The 641 is a delight to use with its revolutionary BRM-1 intelligent remote control (as seen demonstrated below) that features a luxurious MOON volume knob and ground-breaking touch controls, visual feedback, and lavish refinement. We certainly loved using it during our review of the top-flight 891/861 pairing and "sweet spot" 791/761. This interface features a body hewn from a single aluminium billet, "giving it a seamless look and confidence-inducing heft."

Joining the integrated amp is the feature-rich MOON 681 network player/DAC, which delivers simple and quick access to music libraries and online streaming services through the proprietary MiND2 platform, bringing digital audio to vivid life.

A beautiful 4.3-inch screen displays cover art, song and artist names, while MOONLink enables the components to communicate with each other, ensuring seamless operation and integration.

The Dynaudio Contour Legacy floorstanders (below) are handmade in Denmark and will undoubtedly sound great, driven by the MOON pairing. Moreover, the system will be connected by a full range of Nordost Tyr 2 interconnects, speaker cables and power cords alongside a Nordost QB8 AC distribution unit.

Etienne Gautier, MOON CCO, told StereoNET:

The MOON team will be out in force at this year's Montréal Audiofest and will be looking to meet both existing and new customers. We always have lots of fun at the show and can't wait to entertain our guests with our beautiful system. This is one of our favourite places to demonstrate our products and to sit back and enjoy the music.

Montréal Audiofest takes place from the 28th to the 30th of March 2025 at the Hotel Bonaventure, 900 Rue De la Gauchetière Ouest, Montréal, QC H5A 1E4 with MOON hosting demos in room Outremont 5.
