Looking forward to your always exemplary coverage Justin. Can't wait to see all the tasty audio pron.
Hearing a bit of buzz about the new KEF "Blade". Have you had a chance to hear them at all?
LOL !!! Love the honesty
Dry & sterile, Gordon? I wish you were in that room with me!!! I'll say more later...
Hey... that's exactly what my wife says about me... "dry and sterile"
Justin, I'm sure the AG Trios sounded glorious given your praise in print. One thing that always leaves me a bit on edge though wrt horns is their high efficiency. I absolutely can not stand any white noise at all (in between tracks) when listening from the primary sitting position. At >105dB @ 1 wt/m only the most insanely low noisefloor amp has any hope of not having it's dirty floor-laundry trumpeted for all to hear. Sure, at a show when there's usually relatively high ambient room noise, it's a non-issue, but in a dead quiet listening room with super-high efficiency horns that just want to couple-the-hell out of even the most minute diaphram movement out into the listening space - there's no dismissing the hissing. Heck, even the 91dB of my CLXs is borderline, and that's with the crazy-low noisefloor of the ModWrights. This noisefloor thing gets stuck in my craw more than most (I have to imagine) - but for me... if it ain't dead-quiet, interstellar void quiet, pre big-bang quiet - then it steps all over the the first law of high-fidelity (IMO) "Though shalt not issueth forth self-noise".
OK, I have some food cupboards and a sock-drawer I have to go re-arrange now.
The American guy in the Silbatone room was Joe Roberts.
(Does anyone here remember Sound Practices?)
Joe appeared in Munich 3 years ago with a horn loaded Manger driver and that was very good.
He was probably the guy I was talking to - big chap - very friendly.
