Other times though? The S5t will blow you away. Joe Bonamassa’s ‘High Water Everywhere’ […Live From The Royal Albert Hall; Provogue PRD 7274-2], with its heavy drumming track spread across a huge stage, was an eye-opening moment. The twang of the steel string acoustic guitar had righteous attack, the singer’s vocals were projected high and far, and the speakers disappeared entirely from view.

Of course, this recording is demo-worthy and mixed to sound gargantuan, but Perlisten’s floorstander did it justice. And I got the same impression from Black Sabbath’s ‘Symptom Of The Universe’ [Sabotage; Warner Records RR2 2822], arguably the first ever ‘thrash metal’ track. The S5t didn’t shave an ounce off the grit and texture of Tony Iommi’s serrated guitar riff, while drums and bass crashed around behind. I could have been in the Black Country in 1975.
