Børresen’s X1 Stand-mount Loudspeaker $5,500

The tweeter used in the Børresen X-series has the same design used in all other Børresen loudspeaker series but with a reduction in magnet and iron mass. As a result, the efficiency has dropped only slightly from 94 dB to 90 dB, but this is still good efficiency for a tweeter.
The tweeter operates from about 2.5 kHz upwards. The moving mass is extremely low at 0.01 grams. The fully concealed tweeter can operate at a high speed and the robustness of the tweeter allows it to handle high transients without causing any deafening dips.


Audio Hungary Qualiton A75 Integrated Amplifier $9250 Review

The further upshot of time with Audio Hungary’s Qualiton A75 was making plain to me, again, that music is about enjoyment not extraction of every iota of sound. More information is more information it is not necessarily more joy. As an audiophile, my musical interests have blossomed and include far more genres of music than when I started. I’m not going into a hermit state. I’ve poked into a lot of corners of music that I was never interested in. Some proved just interesting and some really enjoyable. So it goes.
The Qualiton A75 is a compelling offer to buy, simplify, and just enjoy. Have great sound without having to give up so much real estate while retaining some visual beauty. It’s an opportunity to bask in the joy of an evolved system. Instead of studying reviews of amplifiers to determine what your next audio purchase should be. Maybe what’s next is to continue exploring new music or it’s immersing yourself more deeply into your record collection or taking friends to your desert island system and basking in the full glory of what you’ve constructed. Audio Hungary’s Qualiton A75 could be that. Highly recommended.

Tonally, these Tannoys sound lean and short of natural warmth through the midrange, leaving voices and instruments sounding thinner and harder than they should, which also contributes to a cluttered feel to the sound. We play around with the front panel settings for tweeter energy and roll-off but none of it helps as the issues have to do with quality rather than level.
Bass performance is also flawed. Tannoy’s engineers have worked hard on the porting arrangement in the cabinet, but the results aren’t great. The Stirling can dig relatively deeply, but compared to the ATC SCM50 speakers when playing bass fests like Hans Zimmer’s Interstellar OST or Massive Attack’s Heligoland set, there is a notable shortfall of grip and definition. A better grasp of rhythmic drive and greater timing precision in general would be nice too.
