Up top, the REX 300 managed that balancing trick of sounding both detailed and sweet in the highs, with—I hope I’m not boring you here—excellent resolution of textures and harmonics. Flipping over to another Hip album, Road Apples (LP, MCA 3844804), Johnny Fay’s cymbals—both hi-hat and ride—are beautifully recorded. On “Little Bones,” I was drawn into the mix, bouncing off each instrument in turn. Those cymbals were prominent and juicy, and I could fall into them or let them recede back in my focus at will. I could also turn up the system really, really loud without any ear strain. On the contrary, the REX 300’s silky highs, redolent with crisp clarity in the fundamental and burnished richness in the harmonics, seemed to make loud listening sessions—especially to a magnificent album like Road Apples—a true pleasure.
