At Axpona 2022 B&W was advertising a new spider design for their midrange basket with some astonishing measured improvements. While I didn’t get a chance for a long audition there, I thought what I heard […]

British Audio Guys, Graham Audio, Moonriver, Bergmann, Hana | THE Show 2022

June 29, 2022 Grover Neville 0

I’d never heard of these fine folks before, namely because the companies is quite new. The banner outside their room which declared ‘The Hollywood Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music’ was not just […]

Zingali Acoustics, JMF, Pear Audio, Audio Skies | THE Show 2022

June 29, 2022 Grover Neville 0

Loudspeakers

GoldenEar BRX Loudspeakers | REVIEW

June 26, 2022 Marc Phillips 8

The GoldenEar BRX loudspeakers, much to my chagrin, are chameleonic. That made me wonder whether or not transducers should be chameleonic. And then I wondered if chameleonic was a real word, so I looked it […]

Bowers & Wilkins 805 D4 Loudspeakers | REVIEW

June 24, 2022 Marc Phillips 5

If you haven’t noticed, I write two types of equipment reviews. The first type involves some piece of gear from a manufacturer I know well. I have history. I can spin a yarn about this […]

Gustaf Ljunggren, Floreana | The Vinyl Anachronist

June 20, 2022 Marc Phillips 0
