Dynaudio Contour 30 $7500 Review
November 3, 2018 Comments Off on Dynaudio Contour 30 $7500 Review
“The Dynaudio Contour 30 is a product for “other people.” It’s yet another superbly engineered loudspeaker by the Dynaudio team (wish they’d make a dud and show some personality, if I’m honest), and it brings many new and established developments (like the state-of-the-art Esotar2 soft-dome tweeter) to a much broader audience. The Dynaudio Contour 30 is an incredibly accessible product. Within five minutes of listening you will “get” 90% of what it has to offer. And I believe that’s the point here.
If you’re a hardcore hobbyist reading this (and I know that many of you are), please know that most of your non-audio friends find your pursuit… over-enthusiastically geeky. They’d probably just prefer to be allowed to listen to their music in a simple, wonderful way rather than talk about and obsess over it. If they ask you what they should do when they want to get “something nice,” please don’t suggest they follow in your burdensome (to them) footsteps, for they will quickly lose interest and race off to the local Sonos outlet, etc. Instead, head with them to a local store where they can listen to the Contour 30s. I think you’ll find they’ll thank you for introducing them to a more comfortable high-end product that they will live with and enjoy for years to come”
Wharfedale D320 Review
November 2, 2018 Comments Off on Wharfedale D320 Review
“We listen to a range of music from Miles Davis’s Kind Of Blue to Eminem’s Recovery and the Wharfedales take it all in their stride. They don’t favour one genre over another, and have enough in the way of attack, tonal balance and smoothness to keep us listening. Their stereo imaging is decently expansive and stable enough to pinpoint the position of instruments, while bass, always limited in small speakers such as this, is pleasingly weighty.”
DYNAUDIO MUSIC 5 WIRELESS LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
October 30, 2018 Comments Off on DYNAUDIO MUSIC 5 WIRELESS LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
“You can’t create playlists in the Dynaudio Music app but instead play the ones generated by the app/Music Now and your saved playlists from Tidal. You can, however, shape the Music Now playlists by click ‘dislike’ or ‘like’ when a specific track is playing. Also, if you create your playlists in Tidal and then they will automatically show on the front page of the Music app. The best way to think of the Music Now function, is as as an ‘always on’ playlist that is constantly adapting to your taste.
This is one of the true strengths of the Music 5, and the Music system entire. Pretty soon, the app goes away, and you just press one of those five buttons for your music (you can also assign specific albums, fixed playlists, or even internet radio stations to those hard buttons). In fact, about the only time you end up using your tablet or smartphone is when you hear something so good, you want to play it again. That happens quite a lot because the Music 5 quickly becomes spookily good at finding the sort of music you like. And I really mean ‘spookily good’… almost ‘music stalker’ good. You press that button and music you never knew you liked comes out of the speaker. ”
AUDIOSOLUTIONS FIGARO M SPEAKERS REVIEW
October 28, 2018 Comments Off on AUDIOSOLUTIONS FIGARO M SPEAKERS REVIEW
“Unique removable grills were already mentioned above, but it’s more than worthy of bringing them up again. With most of the speakers, the grill is regarded as a stylistic hubris. A compromise, that is most often a must aesthetically wise. Audiosolutions Figaro M speakers grills were developed with a lot of attention. Each pair of speakers comes with two set of covers/grills. Usually one can immediately detect the variation when the grill is in place. Well, that’s not exactly the case with Figaro M speakers. Both of the grills were constructed from the ground up to provide diffraction-less sonic uniqueness, that is not in the way of the sound”
Tidal Audio Akira loudspeaker $215,000 Review
October 27, 2018 Comments Off on Tidal Audio Akira loudspeaker $215,000 Review
“While the Tidal Akiras always sounded superb, throughout my auditioning of these speakers I was never sure I had fully gotten the best from them. Changes in cables and amplifiers were more audible than I had experienced with other speakers; it’s possible that further experimentation with ancillary components would have produced even better sound. (After replacing that torched tweeter, Doug White left with me Tidal’s Impulse LPX dual-mono solid-state amplifier. It is our policy not to comment on the sounds of products we have not yet reviewed in our review of another product. However, as might be expected, the pairing of Tidal speakers with Tidal amplifier was to the benefit of both.)
No matter: The Akiras are the best-looking, best-built, best-sounding speakers I have had in my listening room—as they should be at the price.”

ELAC Debut 2.0 F6.2 Floorstanding Speaker Review
October 26, 2018 Comments Off on ELAC Debut 2.0 F6.2 Floorstanding Speaker Review
”
But that’s not the most noteworthy thing about these speakers’ performance with this song. Unsurprisingly, Michael’s inimitable vocals take centerstage, ringing through with such authentic timbres that at one point I actually looked behind the speakers to make sure I hadn’t accidentally left the cables connected to the pair of Paradigm Studio 100 towers sitting to either side of the ELACs.
This is a heavily reverberant track, and as such speakers with less-than-stellar transient response can deliver the vocals as a sort of wide blanket of wet sound. Through the ELACs, Michael’s voice still undeniably emanates from a weighty center of mass between the speakers, but the waves and echoes that follow flow from wall-to-wall, like ripples ebbing outward from a pebble tossed into a pond. Even with the overdubbed backup vocals kick in–“And I’ll go where I’ve longed/To go, so long…”–and the mix spreads to fill the stereo soundstage out past the limits of the speakers themselves, you can still undeniably close your eyes and point to Michael’s lead vocals in the mix.”
