the reviews from our us magazine will be shared.
The benefit of that sharing is that those reviews will now be available in Français as well on our multilingual Canadian website.
WARWICK ACOUSTICS BRAVURA and SONOMA M1 - REVIEW
The Warwick Acoustic Bravura and Sonoma M1 represent the classic and well sought after electrostatic sound, like the transducers—Quad ESL 57, Martin Logan CLS—that began this rather exceptional modality!
STAX SR-X9000 - REVIEW
The new and undisputed flagship of the STAX earspeaker-headphone line is the STAX SR-X9000 electrostatic headphone! And after listening these past weeks, this was perhaps one of the easiest calls that I have made to date. … Did I mention how extraordinarily immersive the STAX SR-X9000 is? Well, you will experience the sounds, the emotion, the ambiance, the ease, and even the ‘sights.’
THE DAN CLARK VOCE - REVIEW
The Dan Clark VOCE is a very good electrostatic headphone. It is midrange forward in terms of both its strength and its presentation and there is definitely gold to be found here! It is, as first mentioned above, reminiscent to me of the Quad ESL-57 and even the Martin Logan CLS, both permanently etched in memory.
THE STAX SR-009S - REVIEW
In truth, the STAX experience has transformed me into a dedicated headphone listener, as several decades of two-channel listening with systems into the low six figures, have never made this kind of a mark on me or revealed the music and its inner workings or summoned the magic to this degree. Never.
THE STAX SR-007A - REVIEW
The STAX SR-007A is exceptional! They do that thing that electrostatic earspeakers do with transparency—they bring it like no other headphone technology can (planar, dynamic driver)—and they marry that transparency to incredible musicality, free of distortion in all its forms. Suffice to say, that transparency, clarity, speed, soundstage are all next-level plus with the SR-007A. Further, the STAX SR-007A weaves a naturalness and a coherency across the frequency spectrum, coupled with all of its other talents, that induces, as mentioned above, a quasi-conscious ecstasy. Lastly, the SR-007A doubles down on what its sibling provides and will draw you quickly down that road of no-return-electrostatic-musical-bliss.
THE STAX SR-L700MkII - REVIEW
Transparency, clarity, speed, soundstage are all next-level with the SR-L700MkII. And it will absolutely shine on live recordings, open halls, cathedrals, choral, chamber, symphony arrangements (with caveat), intimate cafes, even rock (given the proper supporting equipment). The SR-L700MkII will bring the air, the width, stage depth, and height associated with each of the songs that it renders.
