Dec 8, 202400:16:30Tap to summarizeDESCRIPTION Where my time with the RIALTOs landed on the calendar got me thinking (my time with them spanned the onset of the holiday season, which included Thanksgiving). If – as an audiophile – you could identify with the Pilgrims - that is, as a puritan – you might just skip this review. These speakers are likely too much fun for you.

Transcribe →Best Speakers $5k-$10k Series: Acoustic Energy Corinium
Nov 29, 202400:13:36Tap to summarizeThe Acoustic Energy Corinium does much of what excellent speakers at 2 to 3 times the price try to do. In this review, I cover what that means, what you might get if you spent more, and also discuss why you might or might not want this sonic profile. That’s a lot, so let’s get going.

Transcribe →Preview: Dali’s More Affordable Epikore Line Revealed
Nov 22, 202400:09:03Tap to summarizeDESCRIPTION We recently travelled to Chicago for a preview of Dali’s newest Epikore speakers, the more affordable Epikore 9, Epikore 7 and Epikore 3. The new speakers follow last year’s release of the Epikore flagship, the Epikore 11, The technology on offer is impressive, and the prices are upper midrange, so we wanted to see if the tech of the new speakers paralleled the Epikore 11 and see if the sound of the new speakers hinted at that pedigree. Let’s check it out.
