While savouring grand orchestral works through the Reference 7s is a joy, it’s important to reflect on how these speakers might deal with more delicate pieces of music, such as Schubert’s String Quintet; Quartettsatz [CHAN 10978; 96kHz/24-bit]. Recorded with The Brodsky Quartet in honour of the group’s fiftieth anniversary, this is chamber music at its best, played by talented musicians who – very unusually for a quartet formation – never perform sitting down.
The last track here, ‘D 703 Quartettsatz’, nicely illustrates where the Reference 7s excel. With two violins, viola and cello varying between quiet and loud, these new Canton speakers show themselves capable of nimbly handling rapid changes and runs. Although this isn’t the ultimate recording of a cello, the Reference 7s exposed the deep vibrations of the instrument’s body, with a hint of warmth to make it really engaging. I do not choose that word lightly, as putting emotion into music is exactly what these floorstanders do incredibly well.
