It helps that the Studio 89 have a good sense of rhythmic drive and the kind of surefooted timing that can’t help but get your feet tapping with appropriate music. We love their sense of cohesion and the seamless way the drive units integrate. Those hours spent fine-tuning the crossover have paid off. 

These are small speakers, so it pays to have realistic expectations in terms of bass reach and punch, and given those we think most listeners will be impressed by what Monitor Audio’s engineers have managed. On Paradise Circus, the Studio 89 dig deep and true right down to their limit and are controlled enough not to over-extend themselves. Do they set class standards when it comes to outright sonic authority or bass power? No, but they do sound solid and meaty within their limits, and in most cases we think they deliver convincingly.

Focus on the mid and higher frequencies and you should find that these speakers shine. They are wonderfully articulate with voices, and render them with natural weight and warmth. There is no shortage of clarity and, no matter how complex the music gets, it is easy to keep track of low-level instrumental strands.

AudioSolutions Figaro L2 Speakers 12.700 EUR Review

July 13, 2024 Comments Off on AudioSolutions Figaro L2 Speakers 12.700 EUR Review

When improving performance by introducing novelties, it is always difficult to maintain the sound character of the loudspeaker when it is very well tuned to begin with, but the Figaro L2 offers an enviably harmonious sound. By no means a happy coincidence, but rather well-considered strategic acoustic decisions.
A Live One is a great live album that embodies a vibrant, colorful upbeat narrative, pulsating with propulsive rhythms, electric guitar riffs, great percussive playing, engaging keys, and great audience feedback and interactivity.
The bluesy, almost jazzy feel requires a loudspeaker with a sparking core that can not only ignite the momentum but maintain and follow it at all times to fully capture the Phish at its core. Figaro L2 is not shy of dynamic shifts, able to fluently follow both micro and macro changes promptly and aptly.

I view the concept of break-in with one eyebrow arched; we are crossing the line into audio voodoo here, in my opinion. However, the one component category where the idea of break-in makes most sense is with loudspeakers: The idea that moving machined parts with tight tolerances may take some time to loosen up and get in the groove seems reasonable to me. I admire my fellow audio writers who have the willpower to let things run in for days or weeks before they pay any attention to it, but I’m too impatient usually—with something new, I want to hear results right away.

PureAudioProject Quintet15 with Voxativ AC-X field-coil open-baffle loudspeaker system $20,990 Review

Most audiophiles crave a beautiful loudspeaker cabinet that compliments the interior décor. Ze’ev is aware of this and thus his speakers are available in different front panel finishes. I was asked about my color preference, and I indicated “red.” The pair submitted for review is painted in pumpkin red. If you want your pair to be in red and not of the pumpkin variety, be sure to specify “intense red” or “wine” red. Hope it’s not gonna make Ze’ev and his team pull their hair out.

Standing over six feet tall and arching towards the listener, the PAP Quintet15 Voxativ AC-X is taller than the 72 inches tall Sound Lab Majestic 645 that I reviewed in 2020, and the contrast couldn’t be more striking between the two, in which one system uses just one lone albeit powerful seven-inch full-range driver and accompanied by four 15-inch woofers, versus one that utilizes a large canvas of a radiating area of a panel. Interestingly, both designs feature no magnets and operate on externally energized principles.

Alexandria Audio Gaius Speakers $14,800 Review

To achieve it, we have done extensive ETR (evaluation, tuning and recheck) with optimized crossover, damping, fine tuning it meticulously.
We believe that the Gaius convey closer to true musical fundamental that includes accurate keytone & pitch, engaging pace, tuneful melody with proper Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release and harmonious timing (among multiple tones from instruments).
We hope that music lovers can have an enhanced listening experience through the Gaius that is soulful, musical and extra ordinary.
