ATOHM G3 Gets Rave!
In my 40 years as an avid audiophile, I have seen about everything there is regarding speaker design. From weirdly shaped enclosures that try to break the laws of physics that govern the rest of the speaker-designing community to simple one-driver designs that take on the full range of musical frequencies with one driver. All speaker designers take different approaches to yield…
Enough Bryston?
Is this a demo room or what…?! Here we have our Norway Distributers Bryston demo system! On demo are the Bryston Model T10 Main speakers with the Model TS10 Sub Towers using the Bryston BAX-1 Electronic crossover, BR-20 Preamp and multiple Bryston amplifiers. The smaller speakers adjacent to the large speakers are the new Bryston Tiny T10’s…
ABCs
What’s the best way to build a fine music system? We can help you. I was scouring my hi-fi mags the other day. While I enjoy reading about nice audio gear, these guys have gotten flippin’ RIDICULOUS. The disproportionate attention paid to absurdly priced gear is flat out insulting. They regularly review preamps and power amps for $25-100k. They write routinely about…
Bryston BI200 Rave
The Bryston Bi-200 integrated amp arrived late yesterday. Plugged in and playing! I cannot begin to tell you how large the grin is on my face. This has replaced a very capable 50-watt per side amp. The difference in terms of driving my speakers is staggering, especially at lower volume. It’s like the house has come to life for the very first time! I have been covering the industry for 25 years and this is the first amp that has generated such an immediate emotional experience in me!
Speakers For About $4k Per Pair
I’d have to say that $4k per pair is probably our most active price point for cut above speakers. We have great candidates at $1k per pair, $2k per pair and $3k per pair. I’m not nay saying any of those lower price points. But what we are finding these days is that many customers who have had more than entry level…
CD Players 2024
I love CDs and the players that play them. What a marvelous format for playing music! Artists typically have a program or musical message they want to deliver. Just hit play and you’re set for 40-80 minutes. You don’t incur any clicks/pops or bobsled noise. It couldn’t be easier. And, playing a CD sounds better than streaming. Yes, it does. As a…
Speakers: The Big Picture
In an earlier post I guesstimated there must be 500 or more speaker makers out there. As I’ve done more research, I’m going to double that guesstimate! “Companies” range from a one man band in a basement or industrial park space to very sophisticated industrial operations. With a thousand or so entities to consider, how do you pick the one that’s right…
