Kraljić always approaches design from a unique perspective, and Nucleus’s proportions and shape were precisely calibrated from the ground up, not as a stylistic feature, but to provide an excellent foundation for harmonic energy balance, ensuring that no frequency stands out and that the music is presented as a seamless blend of harmonic and multiple frequencies.

But it does not end there. Kraljić also approached the crossover and internal wiring with his decades-proven method of equal music energy distribution, removing blockages and providing equilibrium. This creates fluid pathways and, crucially, the domain for the music to unfold fully.

George Benson may be getting on in years, but in the 1970s, he was a strapping pop star, and his 1976 hit single “Breezin’” (the title track to that No.1 album!) barely disguising the talent that John Scofield once described to me, unprompted, as “freakishly great.” Good King Bad is a lost CTI classic from earlier that same year — a monster funk workout anchored by bassist Gary King and drummer Andy Newmark. The music courts popular tastes rather than clandestine club action, but don’t mistake accessibility for a deficit of funk. This record has got it in spades.

The Spinner BT sorted out the Good King album’s heavy ’70s overdubbing like a seasoned magician. Benson’s hollowbody electric guitar solos leapt from the speakers with the kind of bloom I normally associate with a SET amplifier. The stage spread wide, instruments layered cleanly from strings to drums, and the music pulsed with groove, propulsion, and ample energy. The Spinner BT’s strong motor drive paid real dividends in drive and punch. The top end glistened perhaps a shade too brightly, but I didn’t care — I turned it up, and got lost in the groove. Mission accomplished.

Built for those who listen beyond the ordinary. The next evolution of Montemar Audio Fidelity, high-end handcrafted horn loudspeakers designed for audiophiles seeking true musical realism, with each system carefully built to recreate the emotional impact of live music.

FBR’s first audiophile incarnation came in 2007 when Cisco Records put out a three-LP 45rpm set [Cypress Records/Cisco Records CLP7060-45]. In 2015, Impex released a 33rpm version [Cypress Records/Impex Records IMP6021], then released a repressing on blue vinyl in 2020. This latest version makes every effort to impress — a One Step 45rpm version using the VR-900 Supreme vinyl formulation. It is said to be the very last version from the original master tapes. FBR was a digital recording, but this set used the first-generation mix-down tapes. According to Impex, once this release, limited to 7500 numbered copies, is completed, those original mix-down tapes go into the vault forever. In addition, this boxed set includes the four outtakes included in the 20th Anniversary CD issued by Impex in 2007 [Cypress Records/Impex Records IMP8301].

Undoubtedly one of the most impressive listening havens, this project was a complex journey, with the entire process supervised by Kyron Audio in collaboration with Jayde Deverson from Design, renowned for creating ultimate garage environments.
