About the brand

Even if it's been available on the market only for some years, Myryad has gained in a short time the local public and critique approval and trust.
The company is sited in England, and it's been founded in 1996, by the Evans brothers, Chris and David; the two of them have a notable experience in the field, as they collaborated for a long time with NAD and Arcam, two well respected names in British high fidelity.
Even in the marketing department we find a key character: Chris Short has been co-owner of Mordaunt-Short in one of the best periods of that company, and he's also been Tannoy's chairman.
So Myryad is a company which was born already mature, and their products reflect a complex and articulate approach to music reproduction, built on solid ground and on a deep know-how. That's no trivial matter, a deep knowledge of the field, and of the matters moving and driving it, determining its evolution over the years.
