This Sunday – December 13, 2020 – and next Sunday we will listen to a total of eight beautiful floorstanding speakers. Again with live music and a live recording in the test playlist. In short: from 10:15 CET it will be an Alpha party again in the Artone Studio’s!
We have another beautiful test this Sunday. There is a band eager to play, four crazy beautiful floorstanders to listen to and a great system to power them. Latham Audio has been kind enough to borrow a NAP300 DR and NAC252. Both with a separate power supply. In short: pure gems. We put another modest Yamaha A-S2200 next to it to listen to how that works out.
Finally, we use our Metrum Acoustics Pavane and Ambre to play music. We are going to do this test in two rounds. This to keep it clear and interesting.
