“I’m sure, that by now, you really had quite an insight into the Luca’s and Riviera Audio Labs mind set. While they’re avidly following the technical aspect of the design, unlike many on the market, they’re willingly taking the very different and bold steps needed to enter the “uncharted” territories. Well, not exactly completely unexplored. Vladimir Lamm is certainly most prominent one, that had publicly declared the implementation of the pyshoacoustic model of the human ear in his designed. The other prominent name that pops up is the legendary FM Acoustics, that also supposedly uses something very unique within their own propriety circuits.

REL No.25 premium subwoofer Review

“I only really have one negative comment about the No.25, beyond the typical ‘it’s big and it’s heavy,’ and that’s that the front-facing LED display causes a faint whine through the driver. Apparently the company wanted white LEDs rather than a more garish blue, and this is an unavoidable side-effect of the display unit specified. The display only comes on when an adjustment is being made and switches off after a few seconds, so it’s not a big issue but it is a bit ‘odd’ at this price.”

“During his auditioning of the XA60.5s, JA listened to a high-resolution recording of Mahler’s Symphony 2, “Resurrection,” with Benjamin Zander conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus (24-bit/192kHz ALAC files, Linn CKD 452). It was, he noted, “recorded by the team responsible for some of Telarc’s great-sounding orchestral recordings, including Elaine Martone as co-producer and Robert Friedrich of Five/Four Productions.” He went on, “The ‘Resurrection’ is an enormous, episodic work with huge orchestral climaxes contrasted against chamber-scaled sections in which a single solo instrument, a violin or a woodwind, takes the lead. Despite their modest power rating, the XA60.5s had no problem coping with the work’s huge dynamic range.” In my room, with this system and the XA60.8 monoblocks, the orchestra was huge, even as voices and solo instruments were reproduced with impact, sweetness, body, and texture. There was no hint of hardness.”

“The party-piece of the set-up, though, is a pair of front tweeters. They use Bang & Olufsen’s trademark Acoustic Lens Technology and can be found on top of the dashboard in either corner. Hit the Start button and they rise dramatically up from the dashboard. Exit the car and they descend back into their housings, ready to surprise your next passenger.
