Bowers & Wilkins 705 S2 speakers $1,250 Review
October 13, 2017 Comments Off on Bowers & Wilkins 705 S2 speakers $1,250 Review
“Still, the one area where the 705 S2 didn’t get high marks was with rock music — it just didn’t have the guts to slam me against the listening chair with the Pixies’ “Doolittle.” The speakers played loud enough, but dynamic kicks held back a smidge. Switching over to the Klipsch Forte III speakers satisfied my lust for rock thrills, but that speaker can’t touch the 705 S2 for refinement and clarity.”
Dynaudio Contour 60 Loudspeakers Reviews
October 11, 2017 Comments Off on Dynaudio Contour 60 Loudspeakers Reviews
“In addition to the great sound, in the Contour 60 you’ll also get a speaker that’s built extremely well and has some upscale features, like that thick aluminum baffle, that many speakers costing much more wear proudly. The finish options are diverse and, from what I’ve seen, finely executed. Given Dynaudio’s generous warranty of eight years, and the prominence of the brand’s name for resale value, there’s really no going wrong with the Dynaudio Contour 60. It’s one of the best ways to spend ten grand in the high end that I’ve seen in my many years of reviewing.”

There are many challenges and demands to be met, when it comes to the proper transmission of the energy from amplifiers to the speakers. However we twist and turn the subject around, loudspeakers are the final link with the listener. Thus, the most important part of the high-end audio chain. Without being properly driven and even more importantly, properly designed, there is no way to expect potent sonic outcome, that will engage critical listener for the prolonged aural sessions. ”
Yamaha NS-5000 speakers – surpassing a legend $15,000 Review

“Fortunately, I had recently been to a live performance by Patricia Barber and so the first point of reference was Patricia Barber’s Companion, a live recording in a small club similar to my live experience. In particular, the second track, Use Me, featuring an extended double bass solo, was most telling. I have never ever experienced a more natural and realistic reproduction of double bass in my listening room. Every nuance and resonance of the instrument, which is notoriously difficult to reproduce, was laid out with full-bodied naturalness and clarity.”

“Enough, back to the music. Listening to “Say Uncle”, the piano at the start is clear and dynamic, then as Vienna chimes in there is a seamless transition between instrument and voice. There is a certain sweetness to her honest intonations and phrasings that brings tears to your eyes. The speakers are able to convey emotion, a quality that surprisingly is often missing, but one that speaks to the soul of this gift we call music. Without it, you might as well be listening to female robots.”
MartinLogan Illusion ESL C34A Center-Channel Speaker Review
October 8, 2017 Comments Off on MartinLogan Illusion ESL C34A Center-Channel Speaker Review
“Over the past few years, I’ve used both MartinLogan’s Stage and B&W’s top-of-the-line HTM1 D2 for center-channel duty, as well as other models. As I said above, the ESL C34A is noticeably better than the Stage, with better definition and tauter bass. The HTM1 is the only other center channel I’ve had in my system that compares in terms of vocal clarity and dynamic capabilities. When I first installed the ESL C34A, I was concerned that its position on the floor would cause the center image to be lower and perhaps cause issues when sounds panned across the front, but this did not occur when watching movies. Every once in a while, I thought, “Gee, was that bit lower in the center?” But I think that was mostly because I was looking at a speaker sitting on the floor.”

“The smallish risk on this wire I took nearly a decade ago has paid off most handsomely! Measuring the lengths of wire to size was easy, as I had the stock wiring from the speaker for comparison (copper braided wire with somewhat larger strands). Cutting them was another story. The square clear jacket was incredibly tough and I had to apply serious pressure with a sharp blade to penetrate it. I also had to watch that I didn’t cut too deeply because the individual conductors seemed thin enough to be traces on a circuit board. If I cut too deeply dozens of them would be shorn.”
Klipsch Forte III speakers Review
October 6, 2017 Comments Off on Klipsch Forte III speakers Review
“Movies typically have bigger soft-to-loud dynamic swings than music recordings, so I popped on the “House of Flying Daggers” circle of drums scene, and the Forte IIIs unleashed the sound of the big drums with explosive power I’ve never heard from any other speaker in the CNET listening room. When Mei (Zhang Ziyi) kicks the drums I not only heard the impact, I felt it. When I played the scene louder and louder, the Forte III never faltered. Bass was deep, definition was good, but hardly stellar. ”
