    D.Klimo sounding very valve like and warm playing some jazz.

    A bit low res and soft for my tastes.

    Nice TT though.

    It's nice. Quite warm. Like that Brodmann set up.

    Acapella.

    Some real low-fi here

    Sounding very good on some female vocal.

    I used Shazam to discover Stardust by Margareta Bengtson. https://www.shazam.com/track/204952227/stardust


    Oddly there's a cone driver behind each white horn. And it's firing directly into it with about half its surface area.

    It does sound glorious on mid range focused material in here, though.

    That said Nils Lofgren's Keith Don't Go and.my system at home has it beat. Again there's a slight softness going on here. The steel string doesn't sound that steely.

    Still pretty nice, though. It has mine beat for scale no question.

    WTF?


    Sounding insane playing this audiophile BS.

    I used Shazam to discover Guimarães: Trilobita by Uakti. https://www.shazam.com/track/1006260...1;es-trilobita

    Less convincing on Rodrigo Y Gabriela's Stairway but hey. Lacking bite and attack.

    Good to 16Hz, made of a composite used in Formula 1.

    Great scale. Very good on atmospheric stuff.

    They just sound vast. Way bigger than the Acapellas did.

    Must admit I am enjoying them. The top horn is throwing stuff everywhere LOL.

    Power amps remind me of those 'foot spas' they advertise in the Sunday supplements.
