SVS 3000 Micro Subwoofer Review
October 2, 2022 Comments Off on SVS 3000 Micro Subwoofer Review
For music lovers short on space (and cash), hungry for added low-end content to enhance the listening experience, and willing to experiment to obtain optimal main speaker/subwoofer set-ups in their rooms, the SVS 3000 Micro subwoofer delivers—in spades. Its exceptional setup flexibility allows it to integrate into just about any high-end system. SVS’ 3000 Micro Subwoofer speed and tonal precision mean that it can keep pace with even very expensive main speakers. And the SVS 3000’s serious good looks and major cuteness factor are enough to make a mother blush.
What more could one ask for?
As for me, I’m keeping SVS’ 3000 Micro Subwoofer little wonder as a permanent addition to my reference system. Whether you pair it with a musically compelling but bass shy sub-$1000 mini monitor or a $25,000+ upper-crust stalwart, the littlest member of the SVS subwoofer family will not disappoint.
KEF LS60 Wireless Speaker System $7,000 Review
October 2, 2022 Comments Off on KEF LS60 Wireless Speaker System $7,000 Review
As a comparison to the LS60 Wireless, Gordon used his current Simplifi reference system, comprising “an NAD C 658 streaming DAC-preamp ($1999.99) connected with Benchmark Media Systems Studio&Stage XLR interconnects to a pair of Elac Navis ARF-51 active floorstanding speakers ($5399.96/pair).” While his system had “more ringing clarity in the middle and upper octaves” when he played “Fool on the Hill,” Gordon described in his review how the KEF’s sound was superior with almost everything he heard. To Gordon’s ears, the KEF system emerged as the winner. In fact, just after the review was published, Gordon decided to purchase the LS60 Wireless system and make it his new reference.
Gordon’s high praise for the LS60 Wireless system is the reason why we recognized this KEF offering with a Reviewers’ Choice award when the review was published. And while it’s too early to know if the LS60 Wireless will receive a Product of the Year award (or if it’s a contender for Product of the Decade, as Gordon mused), the system is being recognized with a Recommended Reference Component award right now.

Move along if you’re after a networked DAC for your system, but demand an audition of the M6x if you can handle a little cable clutter. Musical Fidelity’s latest converter is a winning combination of foolproof usability, wide file compatibility and accomplished performance that favours any musical genre. Add in the eminently sensible price tag, and this full-width DAC has serious X appeal.
Audiovector R6 Arreté $37,000 Review

We’re pleased with the stereo imaging. That rear-firing midrange is subtle in operation but helps to give the R6’s soundstage a lovely sense of air and space. Image focus is sharp and the speakers have the ability to layer the soundstage well and keep the image stable even when the music becomes demanding.
Oh, and the R6s play loud without issue, keeping their composure even when listening levels rise to party levels. Of course, your amplifier has to be able to deliver the grunt necessary for that to happen. A rather specific claimed sensitivity of 91.5dB/W/m and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms certainly suggests that these towers aren’t going to be particularly awkward to drive. But, the rated power handling of 450 watts indicates that Audiovector expects customers to partner them with some beefy electronics.
