The Audiophiliac Speaker of the Year: Bowers & Wilkins 805 D3 $6,000
December 20, 2016 Comments Off on The Audiophiliac Speaker of the Year: Bowers & Wilkins 805 D3 $6,000
“Some high-resolution speakers reveal too much about how nasty a ragged recording sounds, so I was especially happy about the way the 805 D3 sounded when I played a $2 “Ventures Golden Greats” LP I bought at a record fair a few years ago. Man, the jangly electric guitars, bathed in massive reverberation played with a kicking rhythm section, sounded awesome. Talk about a wall of sound! The energy was palpable — 50-year-old music still sounded fresh!

Aurum Cantus V7F Floorstanding Speaker Review
December 10, 2016 Comments Off on Aurum Cantus V7F Floorstanding Speaker Review
” Of course, its appearance means nothing if the V7F doesn’t perform at a high level…but it does–offering reference-level transparency/resolution, truth in timbres/tonality, terrific soundstaging/imaging, excellent overall dynamics/punch, and detailed yet sweet top-end extension. It’s simply a fantastic performer for $3,500/pair–and remember, you also get to have a 60-day grace period for home auditions. The ultimate compliment a reviewer can give to a product is if they purchase it for their own system, and that’s exactly what I did. The V7F is now my new reference speaker for in my smaller upstairs system.”
Tannoy Eclipse Three Loudspeakers – Review
December 8, 2016 Comments Off on Tannoy Eclipse Three Loudspeakers – Review
” Timing and rhythm plays a good part of the likable characteristics of the Tannoy Eclipse Three, along with a sweet, deep and controlled bass. For £299 these speakers do a great job of playing music “musically”, they are fun and even in what they portray, and never offend. The high and low frequencies marry well and don’t leave you feeling like there is something missing or un-natural. Fed with a good source material these won’t disappoint.”
MARTINLOGAN IMPRESSION ESL 11A ELECTROSTATIC SPEAKERS REVIEW
December 7, 2016 Comments Off on MARTINLOGAN IMPRESSION ESL 11A ELECTROSTATIC SPEAKERS REVIEW
” This is deliberate. The ESL 11As are so well balanced that I can find no specific acoustic weaknesses. Few speakers that I’ve ever heard are so balanced. And in a word, I’d say that “balance” defines them just fine. You want to know what you get for ten-thousand dollars that lesser speakers don’t have? That’s it – balance. These speakers are somewhere between very good and great at every level. Less-expensive speakers can rival or even surpass the MartinLogans in one category, maybe even two – but nothing I’ve heard for less can match them in every aspect.”

RAIDHO D-5.1 $225,000 REVIEW
December 3, 2016 Comments Off on RAIDHO D-5.1 $225,000 REVIEW
” Of course, using those port plugs does cut down on midbass slam, which is one of the things that the unplugged D-5.1, like the D-5, has galore. OTOH, it removes the vestiges of darkness that otherwise cling to the speaker, giving the D-5.1 a very neutral overall balance and markedly improving low-end coherence and definition. Obviously, to plug or unplug will be a matter of taste (and room size and acoustics). But, to my ear, in my room, the plugged version of the D-5.1 completes the renovation of the D-5, making it a wholly new and truly improved transducer suitable for every kind of listener—accuracy, absolute sound, and musicality. If that isn’t a leap forward, I’d like to know what is”
Legacy Audio Signature SE Loudspeaker Review
November 30, 2016 Comments Off on Legacy Audio Signature SE Loudspeaker Review
“The dual AMT ribbon combination is quite sensible. Even with amps that tend to be (overly) clear with high frequencies, the AMT works well, although its whole potential is of course only unleashed with the right amp as a partner. The Spectral DMA-100 worked great with the Signature, but was outperformed by the Air Tight tube mono amps. With these amps the Signature produced a clarity and an ease of musical performance which I have never experienced before. The effort put towards choosing an amp really pays off.”
