Focus Audio FC6 SE $1,400 Review

” The treble response is smooth and detailed, while the midrange is neutral, both areas depending of course on the quality of the signal fed to the speakers. Importantly, played loud with good recordings, nothing grates on the ears… no hint of glare or brightness, or any lumpiness in the lows.”
VIVID AUDIO GIYA G3 LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
August 30, 2015 Comments Off on VIVID AUDIO GIYA G3 LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW
” Living with the Giyas for a number of weeks, I could not pick an overt fault with these truly magnificent speakers. They imaged better than our reference Wilson Sashas, and while the G3’s bass was not as powerful or deep (we’re comparing twin 135mm drivers with twin 200mm drivers), it was just a tad faster and a smidgen more detailed. The Sashas shot ahead in terms of dynamic expression and top-end detail, while the G3’s D50 domes could not match the power and slam of the bespoke 165mm driver in the Wilson.”
Fried R/4 loudspeaker Review

” But a clearly evident degree of brightness, which varied with program level, intruded. At its worst—during peaks in the program material—it added a glassy brightness or shiny patina to female vocals. Particular notes in the flute accompaniment would jump out at me—a quality also noted later in closely miked piano recordings. At modest listening levels the brightness was only an occasional irritant; increase the level to room-filling but not unreasonable levels, however, and it became an unwelcome intrusion”
ProAc Studio 118 Review
August 26, 2015 § 1 Comment
” ProAc says the Studio 118s handle all genres excellently, and it’s difficult to argue. They follow the story of The Streets’ Blinded By The Lights: there is real oomph in the kick, the snare snaps and the synthesizer’s out-of-time tremolo gives it all that off-kilter feel of being slightly spaced and paranoid in a club.”

” Once the amplifier passes the signal to the speakers, the active drive applies an inverse gain to the subwoofer, restoring the overall balance. But that’s not all it does. This is a true integrated system, in which the amplifier and driver were developed and work in tandem. The driver itself uses a flared sandwich cone in which two aluminum skins are bonded together with a proprietary foam material.”
TC Loudspeakers Review
August 24, 2015 Comments Off on TC Loudspeakers Review
“The TC-Towers 2 use a hornloaded 28mm fabric ferrofluid cooled dome tweeter with powerful neodymium motor which is high-passed at 2.25kHz. Placed in separate internal enclosures, the paralleled mid/woofers are 152mm curvilinear paper diaphragms featuring 44mm aluminium voice coils, neodymium magnets and unique angled wedges pressed within the rubber roll surrounds. TC Loudspeakers quote a frequency response of 36Hz to 20kHz within ±3dB tolerance.”

” . The new Gold Series represents an evolution of its predecessor, the Gold GX Series, keeping the same form factor while incorporating many refinements to the prior design that are intended to further enhance performance. Some of the refinements include a new bass driver, tighter production tolerances of its ribbon high-frequency transducer, and re-fashioned grilles.”
Pylon Audio Loudspeakers SAPPHIRE 25 – Review
August 22, 2015 Comments Off on Pylon Audio Loudspeakers SAPPHIRE 25 – Review
“This is a bass-reflex design with a single port placed on the back of the cabinet. Peaking inside I saw no damping, only some reinforcement to make cabinet more rigid. Even though Sapphire 25 seem inexpensive they are part of the top line of this manufacturer. Manufacturer chose high quality elements for its crossover—polypropylene capacitors and air coils for tweeter section and core coil for bass section.”
Gradient 6.0 Review
August 21, 2015 Comments Off on Gradient 6.0 Review
“Apart from these details, I think that 6.0 are fantastic, user-friendly and extremely graceful speakers, which seem to be ideal for small and medium-sized spaces. After five minutes I began to think that if I didn’t review speakers, amps, cables and DACs, I would consider buying 6.0, combined with Cyrus Lyric 09 or Naim SuperUniti… But everything would depend on whether these lightweight boxes can really play well”
