And true to my experience when I swapped in new premium capacitors in several equipment mods, after sounding nice initially, the presentation briefly took a turn for the worse as the caps settled in; the FR10s didn’t sound quite as well defined. However, after maybe 20 more hours of listening to music and watching high-definition TV and movies through them, that passed, and as the American reality singing competition show, The Voice, hit full stride, my wife and I were amazed at the detail in their highs, clarity through the midrange, and the surprising fullness and depth of their bass response. Voices were rich and natural, acoustic guitars well-articulated through their leading edges, transients, and decay, drum kits punchy and well-delineated, and the bass guitar deep and impressive. And while watching a movie, we were transplanted to a dance club with the throbbing thumps of electronic dance music!

Where the music is inherently more restrained, however, the level of low-end detail, generous weight and enveloping warmth offered by the FR10s is hugely appealing. Relaxed and with my eyes closed, the double bass on the Holly Cole Trio’s version of ‘I Can See Clearly Now’ from Don’t Smoke In Bed [Manhattan Records CDP 7811982] seemed right in front of me, its performance deep, rich and deliciously resonant. Add in Miss Cole’s exquisite vocals, and I was one very happy listener.
