Emerald Physics, Core Power Technologies, PS Audio, Underwood HiFi.

These were open baffle speakers but didn't have the big, open, and phase response. Sounded like good speakers.

The front of the drivers for bass were smaller than the drivers themselves. He said that provided an acoustic roll off.

OK, I am officially tired of this track.

Good imaging but like many rooms at the show, center image was small due to narrow distance between speakers.

These Bones by Fairfield Four. https://shz.am/t47055118

Classic demo track:

Sounded superb. Open baffle speakers have such ease and low distortion quality to me.

Even though I had a side seat, this sounded very nice.

Ear.

Trouble And Love by Mary Gauthier. https://shz.am/t124540339

Nice and open sounding. Vocals sounded a bit lispy though. Not sure if it was the content or not. Need to listen to main system.

Magnetic Lies by Malia & Boris Blank. https://shz.am/t105637333

Asked him to turn it up to see how much power the speakers could handle. The sound because sharp and annoying at the limit. Both of us knew the amp had run out of juice.

Ryan Speakers

Oops. The last two Ryan tracks belonged to this other Ryan room.
