Coincidentally, just before finishing this review, I saw Daniel Lanois in concert and later had a chance to speak with him briefly. I would have loved to ask how the bass range on this track is really supposed to sound, which is something only the people behind the recording could know. But this wasn’t the time or place for that conversation, nor would it be fair to ask Lanois to recall the sound of something he recorded 30 years ago. For now, what the most faithful rendition of this recording is remains a mystery. At least in my room, whatever Siig is doing in the bass does result in a rather distinctive sound.

Conclusion and continuation

What’s not a mystery is that Treble Clef Audio’s first (and presently only) loudspeaker is expensive, wild-looking, well-built, and technologically advanced. All that would be for naught if the speaker didn’t sound good. No fear there—it certainly does. Its strengths include true full-range sound, meaning bass down to 20Hz and highs at least up to 20kHz; a free and open sound, which, as I mentioned above, probably has a lot to do with its unique construction; neutrality through the entire audioband, provided you have the bass dialed in correctly; clarity across the whole audioband, meaning details never get obscured; and an articulate, impactful character of the bass region that deserves further investigation by yours truly and, perhaps, you—that’s if you get a chance to hear a pair.

Clearly I’m not done with the TCA‑M yet, since there are many things left to fiddle with. If you’ve read this far, you surely realize that there’s more to come.

However, if you crave the surgical precision of active ATC loudspeakers—with their hand-crafted drive units, in-house made active crossovers and onboard amplifiers—renowned in studios and homes of discerning musicians and audiophiles around the world, if you desire the wondrous magic and powerful delivery of premium active loudspeakers, the ATC SCM40A may be the right fit for you. If you don’t already have a quality, high powered amp or don’t want the extra expense or hassle of setting one up, the ATC SCM40As may be your mainline entry ticket to next-level auditory bliss. 

As such, I highly recommend the ATC SCM40A loudspeakers for your consideration.

The Technics SC-CX700 is a thoughtfully engineered speaker system that manages to combine high-resolution wireless playback with serious audio performance. Its coaxial driver design and dual-amp configuration produce excellent imaging, tonal clarity, and low-end control. The wireless platform is comprehensive and well-executed, and the system handles a wide variety of source material with confidence. While the all-digital sound signature may be a little forward sounding, the convenience of direct streaming shouldn’t be underestimated.

Build quality and aesthetics may not appeal to everyone, especially at this price point. And for those already invested in high-quality DACs and passive monitors, a traditional two-channel setup may offer more flexibility or better value. But for listeners looking for an elegant, fully integrated solution that doesn’t compromise on fidelity, the Technics SC-CX700 is a compelling option. It’s not just a wireless speaker. It’s a real playback system.
