” That’s very fatiguing, but that wasn’t happening over the Imperia horn speakers. They can play insanely loud with ease, so distortion remains low. That’s true for other horn speakers, and Klipsch makes some very affordable horns, such as the Heresy III I reviewed two years ago. Those speakers can’t play as loud as the Imperias, but still very loud indeed.”

” yet also to ensure that the earpiece is compact enough to fit the widest possible range of ear sizes and shapes. Moreover, Westone gave some thought to making sure the earpiece is easy for user to grasp, insert, remove, or to adjust or reposition during use. These might seem obvious and basic points to consider, but honestly you would be amazed to see how many earphone manufacturers somehow mange to get the basics “not quite right.” Finally, as a tasteful and fun aesthetic touch, the W60s come with three sets of differently coloured, user replaceable faceplates in matte metallic grey, gold, and red.”

TANNOY KENSINGTON GR REVIEW

April 22, 2015 Comments Off on TANNOY KENSINGTON GR REVIEW

http://goo.gl/sRRlv5 Read Here

” The Kensington tops the 10in Dual-Concentric equipped Prestige loudspeakers and will fit a typical UK lounge, even if it is more likely to be bought elsewhere, especially the Far East where they love traditional style and values – and Tannoys.
A price tag of £9950 may seem high, but the new Kensington GR offers a lot for this and of course, with its olde-worlde styling and high quality of finish is almost alone in any case.”

Apollo Audio Lab Firebolt & Woodbolt – Review

“The bottom of the mid-band continues the warm signature and it means woodwinds and double bass’ have a nice texture to them, it’s a bodied sound that is really enjoyable and truer to life than the copper cousin. This textured feel follows in to the male vocal range too, unfortunately though the top of the vocal range sounds shouty like there is a bit of a spike there. It’s a shame because it really is a smooth, nicely voiced mid-range up until the top.”

Yamaha AVENTAGE MX-A5000 11-Channel Balanced Input Amplifier Review

“I matched the speaker levels precisely using a professional AudioControl real-time analyzer/SPL meter, lab-grade mic, and the AudiControl Maestro pre/pro’s onboard test signal generator. I find that the cheap handheld meters don’t do a good job in accurately measuring the SPL level of low bass. Thus, the pro analyzer/SPL unit allows me to precisely match the speaker levels, which makes a big difference in clean multichannel performance.”

” Most Headphone amplifiers, especially the portable kind aren’t what we call spacious and natural sounding. In most cases, the first portable headphone amplifiers were anything but natural sounding. They offered a bit more power than the portable devices they were amplifying”

“Coupe’s design goals were to produce a speaker with relatively modest dimensions that combines minimum distortion with maximum extension. Using a stepped front baffle enables driver time domain alignment to be achieved and a simple 12dB/octave crossover allows efficiency to be kept high for maximum transfer function.”

“. We could easily run our servers with 1GB of RAM given the low level of activity during playback, but the added RAM means we can cache more of the playlist in RAM for playback directly from RAM and manage the transfer from disk to RAM in a better and more consistent way, which does improve sound. Exactly how the files are placed into RAM and read out of RAM to the audio output is very important to the sound quality. In reality, in normal use, you won’t hear any difference between using 2GB and 4GB, but the extra is useful if playing during say a library rescan or ripping.
