” The M22 and M12 share a number of construction details. I remember seeing the original prototypes of the new Masters Series models at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, and being impressed with their looks. Each features a thick, brushed-aluminum, silver backing plate, over which are laid the three segments of the faceplate proper, made of a material like black acrylic”

“I listened to a lot of albums by the sublime Australian band The Church. Their 2003 effort, Forget Yourself, is nicely recorded and mastered. “Song In Space”, as the title indicates”

” This makes the automated part of the setup quite snappy, but it also gives the room correction system less information to work with. Amazingly, Advanced DCAC absolutely nailed the speaker distances in my secondary home theater system.”

” When I first unpacked the Nighthawk integrated amplifier, it was hard for me to believe–based on its build quality and very attractive appearance–that this was Raven Audio’s entry-level piece. However, the ultimate surprise was the sonic performance of this terrific music-making amplifier. In the areas of timbres/tonality/color, dynamics, soundstaging, and micro-details/clarity, the Nighthawk outperformed anything in its price range and competes with far more expensive tube-based gear. Based on past listening experiences”

“Not only was the placement of each orchestral section obvious, so were the positions of the players within the sections — and the Ensemble did a splendid job of keeping the instruments integrated into the ambience of the Jesus-Christus-Kirche, where the recording was made.”

“he device sports a high quality WBT NextGen RCA sockets. Also large, handy speaker posts were custom designed by Naim. They are placed close to the floor so connecting even heavy, thick cables shouldn’t be a problem. Next to them there are the only, balanced inputs in NAP S1. It is a bit surprising as Naim has been using DIN standard for years, but there is a simple explanation to that – both linestage and amplifiers sport fully balanced design and DIN is an unbalanced connection. A power switch has a form of a quite large lever. Both, preamplifier and power amps, sport solid spikes”

“The Whammerdyne Truth is dead quiet, even when coupled to the highest sensitivity of speakers. Its exceptional performance can be experienced with small box speakers–even with all of their limitations. The end result is a listening that presents a stage that is wide, deep, providing a high ceiling, and with crystal clear clarity and definition that would convince you that you’re at a live performance”

” This year, I’ve traveled frequently. When away for more than a few days, I turned off the amp completely with the rear-panel switch. Otherwise I left it in Standby, that LED glowing red, to ensure that the Prometheus was always at its best for listening. As recommended by Jeff Hipps, I played music through the Thetas at a low level for one week before doing any serious listening.”

“I lived with the Krell for a few days before really putting it to the test, but I was impressed by its neutral tonal quality out of the gate. Not too bright, not too laid-back. When I finally sat down for some critical listening, I truly started to appreciate how sweet this amp sounded.”
