ArtVibes Audio DaVinci Loudspeaker Review

” This design was then submitted to a highly reputed cabinet maker that turned the drawing into a real world speaker enclosure. Pierre and his team were determined to make the speaker look as good as it sounded and so, to provide the livery for the speakers, they employed the services of a painter who specializes in painting Lamborghinis. Although they were very pleased with the Lamborgini quality finish, the ArtVibes team decided to go one step further. Being ardent art lovers they decided to give their customers an option that no other speaker manufacturer in the world has hitherto offered. They decided to combine art with the sound of music by offering their speakers with the exterior painted by a choice of four well-known, highly revered artists.”

“Kivst Industries is a Danish company that designs and manufactures high-end furniture. They have their very own sustainable forest from which they take various woods to manufacture their furniture designs. Kivst is also a major partner in GamuT Audio. As a result of this relationship, GamuT has access to the various woods that are used in the construction of their speaker enclosures. ”

“In practice the Aperta stands I have for review are not really the ideal size for the DBA Envy 3 speakers so the affect is reduced as the speaker is less stable in the horizontal direction.Even so the sound improvement is evident and if these were my speakers I would look at sourcing the configurable version of the IsoAcoustics isolation stands.

MARTIN LOGAN ETHOS REVIEW
April 2, 2016 Comments Off on MARTIN LOGAN ETHOS REVIEW
” Due to its convex nature in its panel, this uniqueness made their sound standout from the rest. The apex of the panel produces haunting vivid mid and high right on your face when you set it up correctly. It’s so frontal on your head that for a moment I felt that Kasia Lins was singing just mere inches from my face. It’s that eerie, but in a pleasant way. When my friend visited my place, whom is a headphone audiophile, exclaimed that the sonic presentation is exactly similar to a pair of high-end open can headphone. He called that intense impression I felt referred to as “headstage”. With that correlation, when the Ethos was perfectly tuned in placement, the sound stage was somehow becoming like what my friend mentioned. Not in a bad way, instead it’s very much open with full-scale presentation, back and forth, with vocal focus expressively towards you.”
Alta Audio Rhea Loudspeakers Review
April 1, 2016 Comments Off on Alta Audio Rhea Loudspeakers Review
” Use a decent amp (any kind) with the Rhea and you will get: Excellent total balance and dynamic range–live sound, no hardness or edginess at the high end, nice body and weight, large and clear soundstage (which, as with my Celesta allow it to float around the room as when I am sitting at the dinner table). Voices in particular are smooth and silky exposing venue reflections and reverb. Very nice bass dynamics; deep and extended, with some tightness and punch, and easily shaking my couch at times for some pieces such as Flight of the Cosmic Hippo by Béla Fleck and the Fleckstones”

“Any such statement epitomizes a transducer designer’s mutually exclusive goals. The thinner and bigger he make her diaphragms, the less rigid and stable they will be when driven. Increased material thickness adds strength but also weight. And for pistonic devices meant to move many thousands of times per second, less mass is better. This basic setup is behind the current trend into ‘hi-tech’ materials particularly for tweeters which undergo the most rapid of movements. The expense of laboratory-grown diamond prized for its ultimate hardness thus far limits it to mostly tweeters. But in the costliest of speakers, diamond has begun to appear in larger midranges. For drivers with increased breakup/deformation challenges from larger surfaces and excursions, clever engineers exploit dissimilar material bonding. For woofers, this could be carbon skins over foam, vapour-deposited metal on paper, harder oxide layers over softer cores or similar variations on the theme. With Fostex, these transducers are 99.9% pure Magnesium, not an alloy or multi-lam.”

TANNOY REVOLUTION XT 8F FLOOR-STANDING SPEAKERS REVIEW
March 25, 2016 Comments Off on TANNOY REVOLUTION XT 8F FLOOR-STANDING SPEAKERS REVIEW
” The Revolution XT 8F has admirably flat response. Its listening window response fits into a roughly 5dB window from 300Hz – 10kHz at 1/12 octave smoothing. As always, a 1/3-octave smoothed listening window average is provided for comparison purposes. One thing to note: the window sizes at 1/12-octave and 1/3-octave smoothing don’t differ greatly. That suggests Tannoy carefully designed the drivers and cabinet to minimize resonances. This smoothness of response is another likely factor in the speakers’ superb low-level resolution.”
Paradigm Prestige 95F Floorstanding Speaker Review
March 22, 2016 Comments Off on Paradigm Prestige 95F Floorstanding Speaker Review
” Each tessitura is in a solid relationship with each other — nothing juts out, nothing jars. I threw on Track 1, ‘the’ Track 1 that should be in all audiophiles’ arsenal — Thomas Newman’s soundtrack to American Beauty. You all know of my fascination and admiration for this chart and its composer. Unique, catchy and made up of untuned and tuned percussion and synths. I use it to test driver speed. Do you hear all of the resonance inside the Latin Percussion (noun, not adjective), the true timbre of marimbas numerous and the super low, tight synthesized bass? This CD should be on all your ‘to purchase’ lists. If your system is dialed in, you’ll hear subterranean bass utterly removed from the mid range and treble (Newman wants it this way) and a myriad of struck and bowed percussion, each in its own time and space. Don’t forget to listen carefully to the synth gliss shortly after the opening. How many layers can you hear? The Paradigm held its own and replicated the colours and dynamics well, if not in primary colours. There was a little builder beige, if I’m being completely honest”
