MR SPEAKERS AEON FLOW HEADPHONES $800 REVIEW
September 5, 2019 § Leave a comment
“After firing up the Arcam rHead amplifier, I started things off with the London Music Works version of STAY, from the Interstellar soundtrack. As soon as I hit play, the AEON flexed its dynamic range capability as if to invite me to challenge it further. As the organ comes in at around the 1:40 mark, it’s incredibly easy to not only pinpoint its exact location in the mix but also admire the haunting timbre of the instrument itself. The delicate reverb tails from each instrument are replicated perfectly, all the way into pitch black. The track sounds detailed and powerful, and more of an enjoyable listen, rather than a clinical one. The soundstage here is relatively good but doesn’t deliver as many crazy “out of the head” moments as say, the Sennheiser HD800.”
