“Despite being relatively large for a standmount, basic physics dictates that the Mini-X is never going to have prodigious amounts of low-end heft. And, after all, Usher has its larger floorstanding models for those looking for room-shaking subsonics”

“Comparing the IE 800 with one of my custom-molded in-ear references, JH Audio’s $1,099 JH13 FreqPhase, was interesting. First, the IE 800 was more open and relaxed, but the JH13 was more detailed, faster, and more dynamically alive”

“Having faster transients, the instrument separation is very good. At first I thought LCD-3 has better instrument separation because of the more laid back sound and better instrument extension. However LCD-X betters the 3 here because the instruments are better contoured and their position are easier to pick because of this”

“The novaPre and Peachtree220 aspire to achieve more for the budget audiophile and are successful in their endeavors. The move up to separates from the company’s cost-conscious intergrateds yields more setup versatility and more power, while still maintaining the product line’s more-for-less roots”

I spent too much time in my youth listening to cassettes on a Walkman, like many of those my age, so maybe all those iPod users may still morph into hardcore audiophiles who savour the sound of a good pair of loudspeakers

“The Raytheon, as is typically the case, fulfilled its sonic potential and made for a sweeter and more liquid midrange that helped beautify string tone on less-than-ideal recordings”
