KEF LSX review
November 22, 2018 Comments Off on KEF LSX review
“KEF is pitching the LSX as equally competitive for its price category as the LS50 Wireless is. We only need to hear the serene drum beat and guitar plucking duo of Nick Cave’s Jubilee Street to know that these KEFs do, to borrow lyrics from the song, “practice what they preach”. From the poised delivery of his first stanza, the LSX are clearly sonic descendants of the expressive, tonally-even and rhythmically astute LS50 Wireless.
The audible assortment of guitar notes, along with the varied emphasis upon each, is credit to the LSX’s transparency, not only in the amount of detail it digs up but also the dynamic discretion it delivers. The placement of the crystal-clear vocal is given no less consideration than the bells that come in subtly beside it.”
Piega C711 $25,000 Review
November 22, 2018 Comments Off on Piega C711 $25,000 Review
“That said, the C711’s ethereal character contributes to this speaker’s stunning spatial presentation. The Piega seems to float images in three-dimensional space with no apparent connection to the pair of speakers. Many speakers will pull off this trick, but the C711 goes beyond conventional imaging to beautifully (and accurately) infuse the soundstage with a tangible sense of air and bloom among instruments. This quality worked synergistically with the C711’s stunning timbral resolution to convey the precise spatial and textural characteristics of individual instruments, particularly during dense passages or unison phrases. The C711 was the antithesis of thick, congealed, confused, or homogenized—spatially or tonally. I could effortlessly shift my attention from an instrument or section to another as easily as I can when listening to live music. This quality was particularly apparent on vocal harmonies, such as on The Manhattan Transfer’s new album The Junction. Each voice was presented with its own unique timbre intact and distinct from the others; yet the vocals blended into a coherent whole. This quality went a long way toward my enjoyment of music through the C711.”

“These floorstanders dig surprisingly deep in the bass for their size. They stay punchy and tuneful, even at higher levels, and deliver the music’s complex rhythms with swagger to spare.As with most high-end speakers, the sheer clarity and lack of distortion on offer may appear to reduce the grittiness of the music played, but listen carefully and you’ll find the feel and energy of the track remains very much intact.”

“I also took a look at the crossover parts that I’d used with the AMT’s, and quickly came to the realization that I already had a pair of highly regarded caps on hand of the correct configuration. I went back to the HHH site and read through the information again; the guy there basically loved the Audyn caps, and felt they were highly musical and an outstanding value for such little money. Another realization hit me: I’ve got these really decent caps on hand, they’re the correct value, and they’ve been burning in for literally thousands of hours over the last few years. If they made a difference, I’d probably hear it right away. I went straight to the workbench and grabbed all the tools necessary to make the cap swap.”
Studio Electric M4 stand mount loudspeakers $2400 Review

“Both the Studio Electric M4 and I got a workout, the speakers from the system, and me from moving them around and setting them up in each room. Speaker placement is and should always be a concern. I have yet to find that magical speaker that is comfortable just about anywhere in a room, and before any of you get any ideas, these speakers while musical are not that magical. I was able to get enjoyable non-fatiguing sound in each room, and in keeping with the designer’s suggestion they were placed on 28” stands, one inch taller than recommended, and placed them about 24” from the rear walls in the smaller rooms and a good 36” from the rear wall in the primary room. In all instances, following basic geometric ratios with respect to listening position and distance, I had a really fun week.
TOTEM SKY TOWER FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
November 16, 2018 Comments Off on TOTEM SKY TOWER FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
“I found after experimenting that the Sky Towers to my ears sounded much more full-bodied after being bi-wired. While not a runaway decision, bi-wiring seemed to add a deeper bass extension and gave the playback a natural breath that was just irresistible. While the Sky Towers do pack a stinging musical punch, if you are looking for loudspeaker that can forcibly knock you back down in your seat, these Totems might not be your cup of tea. Unbridled power and an iron grip choking your music to death is not what you are going to find here. The Sky Towers are a sonically graceful home run that allows you to rock when you need to rock and allows you to be carried off when you need escape. The Sky Towers offer a rounded and complete delivery with enough finesse and detail to allow you to joyfully rediscover your music collection all over again. With certainty, it is hard to imagine how anyone would think they are not getting more for their entry fee than they had expected.”
