Four days in May in Bavaria, with music and friends, what is not to like?
We were back in Atrium E 220 with Definitive Audio and Bemax Audio.
The show system featured SJS Model 3 phono, Model 4 linestage pre and a pair of Model 10 monoblock power amplifiers, with Kuzma XL air and Grand Prix Audio Monaco 3 turntables, all supporting the Living Voice R80 loudspeakers.
It was very nice to meet everyone who visited us, and we are grateful for some very nice feedback:
"the sound was absolutely beautiful with Arvo Pärt’s Tabula Rasa, emotionally charged with Lady Blackbird’s Fix It (Black Acid Soul) and fat and juicy with Fila Brazilia’s The Sheriff (Retrospective: Redux 90-22). If you want to hear a wide variety of interesting music at its best this room is the place to be."
Jason Kenedy, the ear
"After the serene piano music we were treated to when we walked in Kevin put on some dreamy and tubby drum and bass. These speakers and this system seem to be able to play anything you care to throw at them without skipping a beat…and surely this is what you want from any HiFi."
"This time around, the world’s most attractive tube amp (at least to these eyes) took the shape of the all-new Model 10 Premier mono amplifier, sporting parallel single-ended 300B output tubes: all the grace, agility, rich harmonics, natural tonality and articulation of the Model 5 stereo – but with more headroom, substance and – for want of a better word – grunt. And, it has to be said, there’s definitely something about those three, 300b tubes lined up across the beautifully sculpted chassis."
