And how did the AirLens do with different DACs? When I compared them, I could hear a thin sound but clear sound with the Cambridge Audio DAC-Magic200—the streamer handles itself but is “too clean and bashful”. When I connected the Wiim Pro Plus it was a “crisp-shouting” sound. I used the DAC from the Wiim Pro Plus, but I also compared it as a streamer (to the Stellar Strata) and here it lacked substance—the non-naturalness, and digital quality were there. But when I connected the AirLens to the Stellar Strata the sound was alive, full, and pleasant to the ear, separation yes, but more so a laid-back sound, clean as well. It’s difficult to describe a specific characteristic of the AirLens, but it is warmer than I expected. I thought it would be more on the neutral side, but no, and I’m not complaining.

PureAudioProject Quintet15 with Voxativ AC-X field-coil open-baffle loudspeaker system $20,990 Review

Most audiophiles crave a beautiful loudspeaker cabinet that compliments the interior décor. Ze’ev is aware of this and thus his speakers are available in different front panel finishes. I was asked about my color preference, and I indicated “red.” The pair submitted for review is painted in pumpkin red. If you want your pair to be in red and not of the pumpkin variety, be sure to specify “intense red” or “wine” red. Hope it’s not gonna make Ze’ev and his team pull their hair out.

Standing over six feet tall and arching towards the listener, the PAP Quintet15 Voxativ AC-X is taller than the 72 inches tall Sound Lab Majestic 645 that I reviewed in 2020, and the contrast couldn’t be more striking between the two, in which one system uses just one lone albeit powerful seven-inch full-range driver and accompanied by four 15-inch woofers, versus one that utilizes a large canvas of a radiating area of a panel. Interestingly, both designs feature no magnets and operate on externally energized principles.

To achieve it, we have done extensive ETR (evaluation, tuning and recheck) with optimized crossover, damping, fine tuning it meticulously.
We believe that the Gaius convey closer to true musical fundamental that includes accurate keytone & pitch, engaging pace, tuneful melody with proper Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release and harmonious timing (among multiple tones from instruments).
We hope that music lovers can have an enhanced listening experience through the Gaius that is soulful, musical and extra ordinary.
