“While not exactly light, the Zep is easy to carry around the home. It spent time on my dresser before I took it into the living room, where it moved around to face my desk, armchair, and exercise bike. It served every conceivable need from rambunctious foreground listening to relaxed background listening to almost subliminal bedtime listening and is one of the few wireless speakers I’ve reviewed that serves all purposes equally wel”

Devialet 400 Integrated Amplifier Review

” With the Devialet 400, bass performance for the Magico Q7 speakers has exceeded my expectations. I did not think it was possible but the sound is even more immediate and tangible—characteristics that the Q7s are already known for. Yes, there is more control, but there is also additional weight and texture—a very addictive combination. Not sure if I have used the term texture for bass before, but it is appropriate here. Again, I must note that SAM is not available for the original Magico Q7 speakers just yet so I cannot comment on its impact in the lower frequencies.”

ULTIMATE EARS UE PRO REFERENCE $1350 REVIEW

“My finding was that the Pro Reference Remastered not only preserves but actually dramatically improves upon the neutrality of the original Pro Reference Monitors. Where the original had a very, very subtle touch of bass lift, the new model delivers more deeply extended bass and an ever so slight more tautly controlled bass presentation. And where the original Pro Reference Monitors had a tendency to sound softly focused or even slightly rolled-off at the highest frequencies, the new model has noticeably great treble extension, superior focus, and better overall top-to-bottom resolution than its predecessor. Although it’s an overworked expression, the fact is that, musically speaking, there is simply more ‘there’ there in the Pro Reference Remastered, making for a significantly more engaging and rewarding musical experience overall.”

Metaphor 2 loudspeaker Review

” Oh, I can pick a nit or two—if I must. There is a touch of ripeness just below 100Hz (in the 85Hz region, perhaps) that adds a hint of warmth that is, strictly speaking, not accurate. But I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t sort of like it; there may be something to be said for a pleasing coloration or two. Gasp! But that…would…be…wrong! Wouldn’t it? And if the speaker isn’t precisely, undeviatingly revealing on the very tiptop, wouldn’t it be wrong for me to prefer that as well?”

” The latest upstart, MQA (Master Quality Authenticated), is an audio recording, compression and distribution format created by Meridian Audio. It’s garnered a fair degree of audiophile buzz, but as yet there’s just a trickle of MQA-encoded music and MQA-ready digital converters”
