VERITY AUDIO OTELLO - REVIEW

The Verity Otello is without doubt a very accomplished speaker, able to facilitate one’s “suspension of disbelief” when listening to a variety of music via its transparency and resolution, its ability to unearth detail, and its way with dynamics, space, and texture.

TRI-ART OPEN 5 - REVIEW

Yes, its complement of drivers—two-18” and two-15” woofers, 2-8” midranges, two-1” tweeters, and 2-super-tweeters—allow the OPEN 5 to easily mark all of the audiophile check boxes—transparency, resolution, Pacing, Rhythm, and Timing (PRaT), detail retrieval, soundstaging, microdynamics, weight, etc.—while pleasing music lovers to no end. And there is its finesse, its open air ambiance…

SCANSONIC MB2.5 B - REVIEW

Looking for a high performing loudspeaker with a sophisticated air and a small envelope? The Danes have a way with transducers, and the folk at Scansonic HD may have just what you’ve been searching for.

QLN ONE SPEAKER - REVIEW

The Qln One monitor is a beautifully designed stand mount that offers elegance in its sonic presentation, and class in its physical appearance. It is clear the Qln One should be matched with well chosen amplification and cables, as this will pay dividends. The more transparent the source, the more the One will rise to the occasion.

THE SPENDOR A2 Speakers - REVIEW

Perhaps the ultimate strengths of the Spendor A2 are imaging and coherence. To our ears, everything just sounds correctly sorted out. No furrowed brows, and no areas of the frequency spectrum that felt under served. The A2 are a great example of what makes two way speakers so appealing, and that is the seamless, articulate presentation of music.

THE GOLD NOTE A3 EVO II Speakers - REVIEW

I can sum up the Gold Note A3 EVO monitors by saying they occupy that rare territory where recording accuracy and musical satisfaction interact. This is generally never an easy task from a designer’s standpoint. However, Gold Note has done it here. For those who have had their interest piqued, but who have large rooms, it would be a very good idea to audition the Gold Note floor-standing models. In our opinion, at around the $5000 mark per pair, the A3 EVO is a superb value.

ALTA AUDIO ALYSSA MONITORS - REVIEW

The Alta Audio Alyssa is an exceptional loudspeaker in every way if you covet true to life imaging, authentic texture, and genuine, foundational bass without compromise. If one can do them justice spacewise, and you are the type of listener who appreciates coherence and natural musical expression, these are a must audition.
