MartinLogan 60XT(4 out of 5) Performance (3.5 out of 5) Value MartinLogan deserves a lot more respect. Of course, any audiophile knows that MartinLogan already gets a ton of respect, but the company gets props mainly for its big electrostatic speakers, which don’t require the volume of engineering grunt work that conventional speakers with multiple drivers […]

(5 out of 5) Performance (3.5 out of 5) Value There aren’t a whole lot of audio brands as universally respected as Bryston. They’re popular with studio professionals. They’re popular with audiophiles. And because Bryston has mostly stuck to what they know – high-end audio electronics and, in particular, amplifiers – the company has never […]

Paradigm Prestige 95F Loudspeaker by sofa
(5 out of 5) Performance (4.5 out of 5) Value I’ll admit that I somewhat backed myself into a corner with my last big speaker review.

Tekton Lore-s Loudspeakers
High-efficiency floor-standing speakers at a reasonable price. Recently I’ve become interested in high-efficiency speaker designs that allow the use of sweet-sounding lower power amplifiers. Many audiophiles believe that low-power tube and solid-state amplifiers tend to sound more musical than their high-power counterparts and I don’t disagree. I had heard many positive comments about Tekton Design’s […]
