Wilson Audio • Alexx Loudspeakers $109,000 Review
September 8, 2017 Comments Off on Wilson Audio • Alexx Loudspeakers $109,000 Review
“All of the Wilson speakers I’ve heard in my system and subsequently reviewed have begun with that collection of traits and progressed from there. This remains true of the Alexx, but more so: like the WATT/Puppy 6 and Alexandria XLF, it represents another leap forward for Wilson Audio, not just for its general sonic magnificence but also its price.”

Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Floorstanding Loudspeaker $29,900 Review
September 6, 2017 Comments Off on Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Floorstanding Loudspeaker $29,900 Review
“The Amati Traditions continue their strong performance on the Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 2 on the same disc. The drive and energy are tremendous, the orchestra sounds fast and dynamic. The piano sound is warm but articulate, with a gorgeous singing tone. But there is also room for improvement. The image does not fill the full width between the speakers and the strings feel somewhat overripe and smoothed over. The Carmel 2s in the same location throws a continuous image and the strings have much more texture.”

“My takeaway, beyond the fact that this kind of seamless flow of music from home to on-the-go is, well, plain cool, is the other more-exciting-to-me fact that Tidal HiFi is going to around for some time.”

MRSPEAKERS ÆON PLANAR MAGNETIC HEADPHONES $799 -REVIEW

I found that on ‘If I Could Eat Your Words’, the ETHER C offered a slightly but noticeably higher degree of resolution on upper midrange and treble transient and textural details, leading to a more tightly focused sound overall (although I found this performance gap could be narrowed by fitting the ÆON with high performance after-market signal cables such as Kimber’s Axios headphone cables). On the same track, the ETHER Flow offered more solidly grounded mid-bass, which was noticeable on Arnopol’s acoustic bass lines, and it also offered slightly richer and more vivid tonal colours, plus somewhat more resolution and three-dimensionality from top to bottom. Even so, I think most listeners would consider the performance gaps between the ÆON and the ETHER C or ETHER Flow to be fairly narrow ones, meaning that the ÆON offers impressive value for money, to say the least.”

ASTELL & KERN AK70 REVIEW
September 5, 2017 Comments Off on ASTELL & KERN AK70 REVIEW
“Honestly, I don’t buy into the DAP side of a sound of things. What do I mean? Well at a certain point these high-end audiophile focussed players sound very much alike. They are all variations of excellent and used purely as a sole source (ie without my Chord Mojo etc). The AK70 competes with pretty much anything out there in the top end with variations coming here and there. I could happily have this or the Opus#1, the Fiio X5 Gen III or a host of the other Astell & Kern audio players. ”

“To the A-70DA’s credit, they didn’t give me any early indication that the A-70DA focuses on any one genre. So, moving further into my music library with a more open (and quite frankly, more curious) mind, I already had a very good feeling about the result.”
