audio Viganoni - New Zealand
- the home of Sachem hi-end electronics - state-of-the-art digital live recordings of classical music - a very politically "incorrect" voice on the hi-fi & hi-end planets
Dear Audiophile, welcome to our website!
We believe we’ve created a unique website that is more educational and informative than commercial. We hope our dedication is clear and appreciated.
We take sound reproduction very seriously, approaching it with a technical and scientific mindset. Browse through the various pages to uncover a range of surprising and unheard-of topics!
We aim to help you make smarter purchasing choices while also guiding you in addressing critical sonic and technical issues that are overlooked, when not completely ignored, by audio magazines and so-called hi-end "gurus".
Thanks indeed, and enjoy ... possibly!

Since 2018, our company, Viganoni & Viganoni, has no longer served as the New Zealand distributor for the Swedish loudspeaker and subwoofer brand, audio pro. Distributing this innovative, technologically advanced brand for over 40 years (initially in Italy and later in NZ) has been an enriching experience!
Indeed, audio pro was our flagship product and played a pivotal role in our professional success.
HOWEVER, we still have a residual stock of audio pro (new wireless and Bluetooth active speakers, plus "traditional" high-quality speakers and subwoofers), and spare parts for our existing Customers' needs.
All the items are brand new, and we sell them at "fantasy prices"!
Contact Franco if you're interested in purchasing high-quality items at a price close to their original import cost.
Our company proudly manufactures sachem hi-end electronics, and we're equally proud that "made in New Zealand" is engraved on their backs.
To get a clear idea of sachem’s performance and sonic qualities, visit the testimonials page and read our customers' enthusiastic comments.
Notably, Ashley Kramer, Martin Bell, Dr Richard Varey and Scott Bartley, renowned hi-fi magazine reviewers from NZ, have had the opportunity to test the best audio equipment on the market and ... have chosen and purchased sachem for themselves! To understand sachem’s "philosophy" and its unique, useful features that enable a perfect system setup, visit the sachem pure v.2 and sachem v.3 pages. These pages also offer valuable insights into general issues related to preamps, power amps, and hi-fi, covering essential topics normally overlooked in hi-fi magazines!
An equally significant activity at Audio Viganoni is making cutting-edge digital live recordings of classical music. In this context, it's definitely worth reading the informative and engaging live recording page, where you’ll also find Franco’s opinion on the ongoing, somewhat pathetic, debate between digital and analogue, as well as on the "exhumed" vinyl.
Another purpose of this website is to help audiophiles spend more wisely and improve their system’s sound quality by offering effective, practical guidance.
Read the articles on the school of hi-fi page, the hi-end doctor page, and then the live music vs. hi-fi page. Their reading will prompt reflection on several essential topics that you’ve never heard about.
In these pages, you will also find a merciless analysis and very politically incorrect reflections on the "surreal world" of today's hi-end market, where the only things truly hi‑end are the absurd prices and the monumental aesthetics!
If you are a guitar or bass player, don't forget to read the sachem guitar page.
To conclude, please don't skip our testimonials page: it offers valuable insights into the reliability and quality of our products and services.
We are here to help and happy to assist. Feel free to contact Franco by email or phone with any questions, concerns, or if you'd like to explore further.
We look forward to speaking with you!
