I must have been 30 when I first ran across B&W’s 800 Series loudspeakers. It was at a beach house, of all things. A rental. My new father-in-law had invited all the kids/spouses/grand-kids to the […]
It was May. Steve Silberman and John Darko and I wandered, lost, in an urban jungle. We were walking across Munich. Miles and miles. It was possible that we were never, ever, going to get where we […]
Jim Jordan of Vaughn Loudspeakers is on fire. I mean that. Literally. He’s a fire juggler. There’s fire on his fingers and fire coming out of his speakers. I should probably insert a joke about […]

One of the last things I worked on for Robert Harley, editor of The Absolute Sound, was his coffee-table opus, The Illustrated History of High-End Audio. My bit was a chapter on Sandy Gross, co-founder […]
Another from Music Lover’s Audio: CAS4 marked the premier of Sonus Faber’s beautiful Olympica I standmount speakers ($6,500, or $7,700 with stands). These beautiful speakers were paired with Audio Research’s Vsi75 integrated amplifier ($8,000), Audio […]
