REL T7i $999 Review
June 3, 2018 Comments Off on REL T7i $999 Review
“This will get you close. Then a bit of moving the REL around and slight fine tuning – perhaps with a friend to help speed up the process and you’re rocking. Even the most OCD person operating solo should be able to nail this in about an hour. Hunter adds here that they also like track 4 from the soundtrack of the 90′s movie Sneakers to dial the REL in itself. When perfectly optimized you can clearly hear the second skin (he calls it a “double-tap”) of the concert bass drum as the compression wave from the softly struck mallet on the first membrane passes through the body of the drum and pressurizes the second skin. This track is also excellent for determining phase and crossover settings, with level falling in to suit. Unless you are driving the hell out of an incredibly large main pair of speakers, the chance you will overdrive the T7i is slim. Even a long playlist of Aphex Twin and similar tracks, I was unable to overdrive the T7is, still mated to the Raidhos.”

HiFiMan Sundara Headphones $500 Review
June 3, 2018 Comments Off on HiFiMan Sundara Headphones $500 Review
“With a recording with natural imaging like Ry Cooder’s A Meeting by the River album, Sundara brought me into the session. I was with the band, more so than I heard from HiFiMan’s HE-400i headphones. Sundara is a higher-resolution device, yet there’s no sense of exaggerated detail or presence. The HE-400i is no slouch, but it sounds unfocused and opaque after you get used to Sundara’s sound.”

Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System (BMW 5-Series) Review
June 3, 2018 Comments Off on Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System (BMW 5-Series) Review
“There are a number of different sound modes to help tailor the system to your tastes. These include Studio, On Stage, Concert and Lounge. We’re big fans of the default Studio setting, which delivers the best balance of focus and immersion. Here you’re presented with the most solid and accurate soundstage, with instruments and vocals hanging in their own space.”

SPL Phonitor X $3,299 Review
June 2, 2018 Comments Off on SPL Phonitor X $3,299 Review
“Phonitor X also features Voltair 120 volt rail technology, which SPL claims is “…four times as high as in standard audio designs. 120V Rail Technology is our reference technology developed and manufactured to run on an operating voltage of 120 volts, which corresponds to twice that of discrete operational amplifiers and four times that of semiconductor operational amplifiers.” Whether the high voltage is chiefly responsible for the X’s sound I can’t say, but it does sound awfully nice.”

MartinLogan Classic ESL 9 $6,495 – Review
June 2, 2018 Comments Off on MartinLogan Classic ESL 9 $6,495 – Review
“Their legacy products are still excellent, even by today’s standards, underlining the strength of their initial design brief. The Sequel and Summit still sound great, and you can still get them repaired – another attribute of a real high-end company. But going through the ranks with familiar tracks quickly reveals the sonic gains that have been achieved. Much as I love my Quads, they are considerably more limited in terms of what they can play and what they can play loud.”
