The design not only captivates the eye but also enhances the listening experience with added layers of subtle textural detail, ensuring a consistently impressive performance.

A Modern Take on Mid-Century Design

Embracing the timeless appeal of Mid-Century Modern design, the Classic 99 elevates the Classic Line to new heights with its richer, bolder, and more powerful sound. It offers greater nuance, air, and resolution, making it ideal for larger rooms and more sophisticated sound systems. The high-grade dark walnut veneer adds a touch of luxury, allowing the Classic 99 to seamlessly blend into various interiors while delivering a broad, deep bass that enhances any listening environment.

Familiar Aesthetics, Superior Sound

The Classic 99 is designed with meticulous attention to detail, adopting the familiar aesthetic of its predecessor, the Classic 98. The solid 32 mm thick cabinet walls, finished in warm walnut veneer, and finely crafted aluminium accents exude quality. The down-firing 12-inch driver is powerful yet unobtrusive, and the period-correct amplifier panel with white gold-finished controls adds to its refined appearance. This level of craftsmanship ensures the Classic 99 is not only a superior audio device but also a cherished piece that could become a family heirloom.

A Big Step Forward

At the heart of the Classic 99 is a bespoke 12-inch long-stroke driver, engineered for precision and silence. This driver, combined with a 450-watt Class D amplifier and the all-analogue PerfectFilter™ front end, delivers deep, controlled bass with rich detail and minimal distortion. The Classic 99 offers a sound reminiscent of vintage audio but with modern reliability and performance. Compared to the Classic 98, the Classic 99 is 50% larger, offering significant upgrades in power, volume, and depth, making it a truly special addition to the Classic Line.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
