    Kef R series discount, new generation?

    Fair point. The Kefs are great speakers at (and significantly above) their price point, that’s for sure. I was just highlighting why I upgraded.

    Kef R series discount, new generation?

    I had the R500s and R700s in my listening room for a while. They are good loudspeakers, of that there is no doubt, although I preferred the R500s for their pace. However my next investment were PMC PB1is and they reset the bar in respect of neutrality.

    Does wall paper help with reverb mitigation

    Yes. It usually requires a couple of weeks and some fairly punchy antibiotics. *smile*

    Pet hates

    Well, I’m listening to my radio in the kitchen and I can hear someone’s phone chip,chip,chip chirruping through its speaker. I’m also printing a 250 page report, which seems to printing just fine at the same time without any visible artefacts. So I would surmise that your comparative example is...

    ATC SCM 11 with Roksan Caspian M2 Amp ?

    I use a Roksan Caspian M2 amp with PMC TwentyFive 22’s. Sounds great, although I’d rather have a Hegel...

    Losing interest

    Summertime is a hifi free period for me. I’m sure that is quite common if you have kids.

    Digital transport brawler

    I was watching Netflix yesterday (Breaking Bad. I know I’m a bit behind) and the signal broke up, leaving pixelation across the screen. Still perfectly watchable, but not the full, perfect picture I would have expected, and I obviously didn’t see everything I was supposed to. However I still...

    New PMC Fact Fenestria

    I am PMC ‘til I die, and I have to admit that after much deliberation they are uuuuugly... and that’s coming from a guy who owns the world’s ugliest speakers! For me it’s not so much the aesthetic concept that lets them down so badly, it’s the execution and the detailing. They just look hammed...

    New PMC Fact Fenestria

    I almost wet myself when I saw these on the PMC website. How do they compare with Fact 12? I said my next step was active MB2SE’s but... *man_in_love*

    Devialet

    They also sound like a hot water boiler in standby. Also a pity. Tick...tick...tick...zzzzzrrrrrrr...zzzzzzrrrrrrr...shhhhh...shhhhh... well worth £18K. Not. According to their customer services department it is down to ferrites, part of the design so get over it. Hmmm...

    Dirac Live - First Impressions

    Hmmm... I think that is pretty much EXACTLY what they do. Most mainstream music gets the grotbox and earbud treatment before release, so it is entirely plausible that dance music produced for nightclub use is mastered in a certain way. Dirac Live is a great product but it cannot correct...

    Now I know how my system sounds at full blast

    Never been tempted but my daughter pushed my PMC Fact 12’s to “11 o’clock” on my old Devialet 800. I have never moved so fast in all my life, but it was pure slow motion. My boy does it all the time with my second system, but the equipment doesn’t seem to mind.
