SVS Prime Pinnacle Tower Speaker Review
August 15, 2019 Comments Off on SVS Prime Pinnacle Tower Speaker Review
“If you are in the market for a new pair of speakers, and you simply do not have the placement flexibility required to get the most out of so many other speakers, I highly suggest taking SVS up on their 45-day, risk-free audition offer. Be warned, however, that I suspect 99 percent of you who do so won’t be sending them back.”

EMPIRE EARS WRAITH – AUGUSTUS
August 14, 2019 Comments Off on EMPIRE EARS WRAITH – AUGUSTUS
“I’ve been talking to EE about their Wraith for a long time now, I think first I’ve heard about the project was shortly after my Legend X review. Since then they have kept refining their new flagship. The release was pushed back numerous times, but now they are confident enough with the tuning.
Wraith is supposed to be the evolution of Zeus, a monitor that has been known for its mid-forward sound with a lighter approach, but immense details and emotions. Empire has spent a lot of time in making a monitor that’s able to deliver the same kind of signature, but refine it with a portion of extra bass, a more spacious sound stage and give it the ultimate control over the scene. What struck me during first listen, with its ability to keep everything and everyone so organized. Wraith is like the conductor in big orchestras, the one telling the musicians how and when to do what.”


Magnepan MG-20 loudspeaker $9200 Review

“The Magneplanar’s strongest tonal suit was a full-bodied lower-midrange/upper-bass that fleshed out the power range of an orchestra—ie, up to about 500Hz—with justice for all. Reproduction of cello was especially impressive: gutsy, and rhythmically precise—no boxy resonances to smear pitch and intonation. I guarantee you this: anyone who’s spent their audio career listening to boxes will no doubt marvel at the fact that such airy, detailed, and precise bass lines are possible in a speaker. However, there was no getting away from the fact that the lower midrange was emphasized in relation to the mids and treble.”

MrSpeakers Ether 2 $1,999 Review
August 12, 2019 Comments Off on MrSpeakers Ether 2 $1,999 Review
“In terms of soundstage, the Ether 2 unsurprisingly trails the extremely wide HD800S by a sizable margin. It’s much closer to the Clear’s stage, while still falling somewhat behind the Clear’s width. However, while the Ether 2’s soundstage is relatively narrow for a pair of open-back cans, the Ether 2’s imaging is excellent, with distinct placement of voices and instruments from left to right. The Ether 2 also offers a sightly more up-front presentation than the Clear or HD800s, both of which reveal a somewhat deeper soundstage than the Ether 2 but lack some of the Ether 2’s seductive immediacy. ”

August 12, 2019 Comments Off on Triangle Art Hathor Turntable $4000 Review
“The Hathor looks fabulous and plays well, rendering the vinyl experience in all its warmth with accuracy, depth and authority. At $4000, you can indulge in high end playback sans the huge price tag. Matched with good speakers, electronics, and cabling, you have the makings of many magical moments to come. And what’s not to like about that?”
