Even driven by MBL’s own superb, ultra-pricey, near-dedicated electronics, the Xes sounded—how shall I put this?—not very good. Real not very good. Indeed, when I went to Germany to visit MBL’s offices and manufacturing facility this past spring, I had no intention of reviewing...

Up until about three weeks ago, if someone had asked me who in the States makes the best dynamic speakers I would without hesitation have answered: “Alon Wolf of Magico and Andy Payor of Rockport.” Now I’m going to have to add a third name to my pantheon—none other than old hand...
The ability to exfoliate layered materials down to the single layer limit has presented the opportunity to understand how a gradual reduction in dimensionality affects the properties of bulk materials. Here we use this top–down approach to address the p
hard-to-distinguish instruments playing en masse at the same pitches and the same dynamics (I mentioned several examples of this “sorting hat” magic in my Issue 213 review of the Technical Brain electronics, which, BTW, are the almost ideal companions for these ultra-transparent loudspeakers)....
The atmosphere is quite a bit more interesting over at England’s Chord Electronics, which occupies a lovely Victorian-era watermill in rural Kent. Inside the brick, timber, and slate “Pumphouse,” which took six months to revamp in 1997 before Chord could move in, founder John Franks and ...
Moreover, the more I experiment with speaker placement, front-end electronics, and speaker cables, the more it becomes clear that the listening room is as important a component as the speaker, and how difficult it is to predict exactly how well a really good speaker will perform with a diff...
electronics that I am reviewing here.) When Pioneer introduced its TAD Reference loudspeaker, it was Technical Brain electronics that were used to source and power it in Japan. When Alon Wolf introduced the Magico M5, it was Technical Brain electronics that were used at the debut. Morel...
To be honest, I tend to gravitate toward solid-state amps with planars for their superior control and drive, but that ARC sound is ravishing in its own right and will go a long way to supplying the third dimension that solid-state electronics lack. I should also mention the Mye Stands ...
If there are questions concerning these ratings please contact a TI field representative prior to connecting interface electronics including input power and intended loads. Any loads applied outside of the specified output range may result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible ...
