Mission LX-2 Review
October 4, 2016 Comments Off on Mission LX-2 Review
“The cabinet is equally carefully designed. Budget constraints mean that there’s no place for high tech materials or extravagant engineering solutions to controlling cabinet resonances, so the designers have gone back to basics (while using cutting-edge measurement and design equipment) to come up with a wooden box that provides a solid platform for the drive units to work from.”

“Perhaps even more impressive is the enthusiastic way these standmounters deliver large-scale dynamics. They pound out crescendos with relish, refusing to harden up or compress the music even at high volume levels.

ELECTROCOMPANIET EC LIVING CONCEPT REVIEW
September 29, 2016 Comments Off on ELECTROCOMPANIET EC LIVING CONCEPT REVIEW
“Almost more important than the sound quality, it’s that app that really ties the system together. The seamless integration of your own music, Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, and more shouldn’t be downplayed. It means the EC Living app really does hold the whole canon of music under your fingers in the same place. Other systems do this, but rarely to the same degree of integration or intuitive ease of use. I couldn’t give this to my granny because she’s been dead for decades, but it is the kind of system I can hand to a drunk cousin at a party and have them play their awful taste in music in seconds. And the robustness of the wireless network meant the same drunk cousin at a party could blare that sound out from the patio to the surrounding neighbourhood, all of whom now think I am a big fan of Billy Ray Cyrus and The Scorpions. Damn you Electrocompaniet. Damn you for making this system so easy to use.”

” To begin my evaluation, I started with some familiar two-channel female vocals. In streaming the hi-res version (HDTracks, 24/96) of Sara Bareilles singing “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” from her live album Brave Enough: Live at the Variety Playhouse (Sony Legacy), I was impressed with the MTM-210T’s ability to resolve fine details in the recording. ”

”
I remain adamant there is no such thing as a universally “best speaker” since listener preferences, upstream equipment, and room acoustics all weigh into the equation. Taking those variables into account in my own case, I have not yet encountered another speaker that achieves such a Goldilocks-like “just right” balance for my own sonic preferences. RS3s offer a perfect combination of detail, soundstaging, speed, realism, and overall musicality. It’s a fantastic achievement.”
TEKTON DESIGN PENDRAGON TOWER SPEAKERS REVIEW
September 25, 2016 Comments Off on TEKTON DESIGN PENDRAGON TOWER SPEAKERS REVIEW
“Vertical seating position has some impact on the treble of the Pendragons. Place your ears significantly below or above the tweeter stack and the treble becomes slightly rolled-off sounding. Cure this by positioning your ears within the vertical height of the tweeter array. A person of average height sitting in a typical chair should be very close to the tweeters’ bottom height.”
SONUS FABER VENERE S FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
September 23, 2016 Comments Off on SONUS FABER VENERE S FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
” It’s not just wry comic opera that works with the Venere S. Short of black metal played loud (where things, perhaps unsurprisingly, get a little too shouty), the Sonus faber Venere S simply draws you closer to the music and helps you re-engage with the passion for sound that started you along this audiophile quest. As someone who churns through a lot of audio equipment in the course of the average month, it’s easy to get somewhat jaded, and the Venere S’ resparking of my musical passion is worth its weight in gold.”
