” I recently purchased the hi-rez digital transfers of Keith Jarrett’s The Kîln Concert (24/96 ALAC files, ECM/HDtracks), so that I could compare them with the MQA versions in a future review. Well-recorded solo piano is always difficult for speakers to reproduce correctly, because piano notes have high levels of energy in the region where speakers have resonances of various kinds, and because the nature of the music often doesn’t mask those resonances once they have been excited. This essential Keith Jarrett album does have a rather close balance, but it sounded superb through the PSBs. I couldn’t hear anything untoward in the midrange, other than a faint whistle when I put my ear close to the uppermost ports on the enclosure’s rear. I returned to this album after taking the T3’s measurements, and found a high-Q resonance in the top and middle port outputs that must be associated with what I heard. However, back at the listening position, even after I knew the resonance was present, I still couldn’t hear that it had any noticeable effect on the sound of Jarrett’s piano.”
