Their new two-channel power amplifiers that enable the speakers’ ability to be driven by RCA or XLR cables instead of speaker cables allow you to send your music by Bluetooth directly to the speakers in another place in your home, such as your dining room. Arylic’s Bluetooth S50 Pro+ Receivers eliminate cables from your hi-fi system altogether. A very nice setup indeed!

KEF LS50 Wireless II Review

It’s this strength in depth that makes the KEF so convincing. I still feel that a few little tweaks to the software would reap benefits, but I can’t argue with the way it combines an extensive and practical specification that makes it an ideal one-stop shop with a level of overall performance that is truly outstanding. When you listen to the LS50 Wireless II it’s easy to forget about the convenience angle and concentrate instead on the sensational level of sonic performance. It isn’t cheap, but it’s unquestionably a superb all-in-one system that should be on anyone’s shortlist at or near the price.

Audiovector Trapeze Reimagined $19,950 Review

The new Trapeze have a claimed sensitivity of 88dB/W/m and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms (with a minimum of 6.5 ohms at 20kHz). That kind of electrical load shouldn’t be an issue for any good quality price comparable amplifier.
These floorstanders prove relatively unfussy about positioning. Audiovector recommends around 70cm out from the back wall as a good starting point, but in use the speakers seem easy-going enough to be placed a little closer if you have to. It all depends on the size and construction of your listening space, of course. In our 3 x 7 x 5m (hwd) test room, the recommended distance works well, giving a good balance between bass weight, tonality and stereo imaging.

Before I even listened to the SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacles loudspeakers, it was clear that they offer a lot of high-quality hardware for the money. I asked company CEO Yacoubian how they could bring this design to market at the stated price. “Our mission has always been to surprise and delight people with the level of performance they get for what they pay,” he answered. “That’s a core value of SVS. We are a very lean machine. We don’t have the margins of some other speaker companies. Our dealers have lean margins as well.”
With fine execution of a complex design, high-quality components, and spectacular musical performance, the Ultra Evolution Pinnacle SVS has raised the bar on what’s possible at and near its price. For anyone aiming to assemble a first high-end music system with limited funds and a sufficiently large room, the Pinnacles are a game changer. The quality-to-cost ratio may be unprecedented. They are a true hi-fi bargain.
