• Dynaudio Sub 6 Powered Subwoofer Review

  This spring, I reviewed the new Dynaudio contour 20 Black Edition bookshelf speakers and I found these speakers to be one of the most highly resolving stand out monitors I've heard in the sub $10,000 price range, but like most stand mounts, they were still bound by the limitations of size and of course, frequency response. But Dynaudio has come prepared for this scenario with the Sub 6. And in this review, we're going to explore what this tech packed subwoofer can accomplish, especially in a small to medium sized rooms.

• Magico S2 Review: Best Speakers $20k-$50k v2

  One thing I love about audio reviewing is the element of surprise. Sometimes you get a product in for review and you might expect it to be good and then you start listening and you find out that it is…great! Who knew? And for me, despite best efforts, this often happens with straightforward products that don’t have an obvious “breakthrough” element. This was, indeed, the case with the Magico S2 speakers. Let’s see what impressed me and how this may or may not fit with your needs. 00:00 Magico S2 01:37 Overview 04:31 Sound Quality 14:52 Summary This video is sponsored by: https://chordelectronics.co.uk/mojo-2 The Absolute Sound’s Review Methodology: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/the-absolute-sounds-review-methodology-first-principles/ Newsletter: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/newsletter Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theabsolutesound Substack: https://www.theabsolutesound.substack.com What Is The Absolute Sound?

• AVM30 AS 30.3 Integrated Amplifier Review

  There are a couple of sentences on the website of German high end audio company AVM that caught my eye. They read, we believe that any kind of music, whether it be classical, jazz or pop, has been composed to bring joy and emotion to the listener. Technical equipment such as amplifiers and loudspeakers must try to transport this joy and emotion into the living room. The reason I was on EVMs website in the first place was because I had just received its AVM30 streaming integrated amplifier with built in CD player and phono stage for review. So does the AVM30 deliver that promised joy and emotion? Let's find out! 00:00 AVM30 AS 30.3 01:35 Overview 04:54 Sound Quality 08:22 Is this for you? 11:33 Conclusion This video is sponsored by: https://fidelityimports.com/pages/opera-loudspeakers The Absolute Sound’s Review Methodology: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/the-absolute-sounds-review-methodology-first-principles/ Bowers & Wilkins review: https://youtu.be/W7Rd_BZo2I8?si=CvuHAi6Gig4BVGLN Naim review: https://youtu.be/kcXOUBwXWx0?si=HbI2KCNF_262EveI Rogue Cronus review: https://youtu.be/l_gs1oZ-92w?si=v51OolFgZcsyXLGC Newsletter: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/newsletter Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theabsolutesound Substack: https://www.theabsolutesound.substack.com What Is The Absolute Sound?

• J. Porter Studios Waterloo Micro Review

  I find it refreshing when design form and function meld into an inspired synergy. Many of you may not have heard of J. Porter Studios, and after hearing the standmount creation from Engineer/Designer, Jeremy Porter, I've got a sneaking suspicion that's about to change. Today, we’re looking at a product that genuinely surprised me. The J. Porter Studios Waterloo Micro packs a whole lot of speaker into a small package. This sealed 3-way standmount loudspeaker packs a punch and is worth a listen for anyone considering options around the $6,000 mark as the Waterloo Micro sneaks in at $5,995/pair US. So, stay tuned while I share what I heard when listening to the J. Porter Studios Waterloo Micro.

• Piega Premium 701 Gen 2 Loudspeaker Review

  Everything about these feels like a luxury product. The aluminum isn't just functional - it's beautifully finished with that sandblasted surface. The magnetic grilles attach with serious force but complete invisibility. Those speaker terminals have a mechanical precision you don't find on mass-market gear. This is Swiss watchmaker-level attention to detail applied to speakers.
