Waterfall Audio Glass Loudspeakers Review

” Yet keeping the speakers safe from being dropped or other handling errors was also greatly improved by following the included, easy to read one-sheet directions found in each of the packages. So often, the operations manuals for Hi-Fi and AV gear is a multi-page opus that has little originality to it and often goes completely unnoticed until after a handling mistake has occurred. But the Waterfall Audio products are an exception, since the one-sheet directions were the first item at the top of each speaker’s box of contents; providing a clear and concise explanation of how to deal with one’s new purchase without reading a chapter of War & Peace. And the color illustrations offered a friendly opportunity to browse the handling directions that cannot be over emphasized as a critical, mostly overlooked opportunity of interacting with a new product. If only more manufacturers would apply this simple protocol to the purchasing experience, I suspect a lot less needless damage would transpire, which so often results in the return of a product due to owner error at this critical starting point: that of opening the box and setting up your new gear”
GERMAN PHYSIKS UNLIMITED MK II Review
May 1, 2016 Comments Off on GERMAN PHYSIKS UNLIMITED MK II Review
” The big question perhaps is should existing Unlimited Mk II listeners with the older crossover feel short-changed? No. The Unlimited Mk II is a good loudspeaker, whether it has the old or new crossover. Moreover, if you chose an Unlimited Mk II and picked out a good amplifier partner, a lot of what the change to the crossover actually does is academic; the revised crossover brings more amplifiers to the party, but if you already made that choice and made it well, the new crossover’s benefits in greater compatibility are not really needed. The new crossover brings a little more clarity and quite a lot more bass, but the change is more a subtle development than a radical shift in performance. I have a feeling that those who like the German Physiks sound are fans for life, and if you already have a Limited II or an Unlimited Mk II, the better option would be to consider a full-on upgrade further up the German Physiks ladder, maybe to the HRS-130 or even to the Borderland Mk IV.”

Bryston Mini A Loudspeakers Review
April 30, 2016 Comments Off on Bryston Mini A Loudspeakers Review
“The midrange is truthful, honest and just a little lean. If I were to compare to the Brit small boxes that I tested before, the Mini A does not have the same level of midrange density, but do keep in mind that the Mini A is also the cheapest of the lot, costing a few thousand Ringgits less. On the other hand, the Mini A was top notch with dynamics and scale, and is comparable to others that cost much more, it handles demanding recordings excellently and portrays a large soundstage in my room with ease.”

Avalon Idea speaker Review
April 29, 2016 Comments Off on Avalon Idea speaker Review
” Avalon recommends leaving the grilles on for best sound quality, so I did just that for all of my auditioning time. The company’s speakers have always featured angled and faceted cabinets, and while the Idea speaker may be one of the company’s more affordable models, the craftsmanship is superb. The speakers are made in Boulder, Colorado, and the company documents the measurements of every driver for every speaker the company has ever produced. So if a customer needs to replace a tweeter, midrange or woofer on a 20-year-old Avalon speaker, the service department can provide a matching driver. So while these speakers are expensive, they can provide decades of enjoyment.”
Magneplanar .7 Review

“The second warning is about the feet of the Maggies. The loudspeakers sound better if you keep them perpendicular to the floor, no backward positioning. Magneplanar proposes, as an option, the plexiglas feet that makes the price more expensive.
A trick could be to put something under the feet in order to reach the position in which the panels are more steady.The soundstage will enhance together with the high range. ”
MARTINLOGAN MOTION 60XT REVIEW
April 28, 2016 Comments Off on MARTINLOGAN MOTION 60XT REVIEW
” With the prerequisites out of the way, I began assessing the combined performance of the Silver Seven 700 amplifier and the Motion 60XT. Though the speakers already sounded exceptional driven by the Sunfire amp, it didn’t take long to hear differences in the presentation with the Silver Seven. The ESL-like delicacy of the treble that, when using the Sunfire, sometimes became slightly edgy when played loud, was softened, remaining light and delicate even at higher volumes, until the AMT tweeter output finally began to beam a bit. The bass, already well presented with the Sunfire, took on a character and depth previously unheard, with 3-D spatiality perhaps the most improved sonic characteristics I noted. Although the Sunfire amplifier had previously raised the bar for Fleetwood Mac’s “Woman of a Thousand Years” from Future Games [CD, Warner] to the highest level in my experience, the Silver Seven 700 revealed a never-before-experienced depth and dreaminess in the recording.”

” Finally, retailing for $898 per pair, the Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 65s will also give the Chameleons a run for their money sonically and will have very strong soundstage performance, delivering a wide sweet spot for listening due to their design. However, the Sonus faber Chameleons deliver an aesthetic innovation with their interchangeable colored side panels that give them flexibility in matching decor, furniture, or mood that no other speakers in this price range can claim.”
Wilson Audio Sabrina Loudspeakers $15,900 Review
April 27, 2016 Comments Off on Wilson Audio Sabrina Loudspeakers $15,900 Review
” This is the “expression” Wilson and his speakers are after: a construct of live-music absolutes that informs the design process and against which all Wilson Audio speakers are ultimately judged. Of course, recorded sound falls short of its live equivalent in so many ways, although there is one instrument that a very good recording can come very close to re-creating with that same construct of absolutes: solo acoustic guitar. Its range, even at its extremes, and transient qualities are within the ability of a very good speaker to convey, and the recording engineer doesn’t have to be a savant to capture them.”
