This review page is supported in part by the sponsors whose ad banners are displayed below. This review first appeared in the March issue of hi-end hifi magazine High Fidelity of Poland.

You can also read this review of the A. Loudspeakers Moderne 10 in its original Polish version. We publish its English translation in a mutual syndication arrangement with publisher Wojciech Pacula. As is customary for our own reviews, the writer's signature at review's end shows an e-mail address should you have questions or wish to send feedback. All images contained in this review are the property of High Fidelity. Let me begin by explaining the A. It stands for Acoustic Reproduction Technology.

Any similarity to tube gear manufacturer Art Audio can't be entirely coincidental. We already had opportunity to look closer at either company to know something about them. When requesting the Moderne 10 for review, I still overlooked something key - their weight of 50kg per.

The UPS delivery men had murder in their eyes and I felt similar when time came to place them on spikes and position them for listening. I had to call my son for help and recommend two people for this job, especially because these speakers are beautifully finished in any automotive lacquer of your choice. What a pity it would be to ruin that finish.

I was curious how these would look in the flesh. Their name suggested a breakup from classical designs. As it turned out, this is not fully the case.

Although metallic lacquer does bestow a touch of modernity, size, drivers and such suggest rather a return to audio's golden age. After all, few are the companies today who use a big paper woofer on the front baffle which is usually kept far narrower.

And the shape of the enclosure reminds me of A. Attention is drawn to the transverse grooves 35mm apart on the top and side panels.

But shared appearance of shape here is second to function. The A. But we'll stop here and not discuss this solution's originality. It is effective and serves its purpose well. The enclosures of all loudspeakers mentioned are all extremely rigid and thus less susceptible to vibration. They do have one drawback though, being far more expensive to manufacture than traditional boxes.

The concept of the 10 as a classic three-way bass reflex floorstander with rear-firing port and its overall size are comparable to my Harpia Dobermann. What's more, the drivers are fixed in almost exactly the same places and the price is nearly identical.

But differences there are too. All drivers in the Moderne 10 are soft silk and paper yet hard in the Dobermann aluminum. The former runs 2 nd and 3 rd order filters combined, the latter 1 st order networks exclusively. The Poles add mechanical phase compensation between their drivers while the Scots use a vertical baffle.

The Harpia has tweeter and midrange closer to one side of the baffle whereas the A. The most important design aspect of the Moderne 10 however is its high efficiency and an impedance optimized for low power amplifiers, ideally with B triodes in the output. The interview appeared in the December issue of Audio in the form of a group discussion between company representatives but here is a good place to summarize my questions to Derek.

T Loudspeakers are a shared enterprise between you and your brother Ramsey - are you the better half? Derek Dunlop laughs : Some people claim that and I am too lazy to deny it WP: I ask everyone I talk to - is the current economic crisis a threat to audio in any way? DD: I think that in general it is not. It will touch a part of the market but those will rather be the weak companies, those less adapted.

If we talk about the best companies, the best products, then those in my opinion are resistant to any market tides. Everybody will be working on that to not allow anything bad to happen. Some decisions will have to be made but in general I do think that a good product is a good product and a company can rest assured about that. If we think about luxury products like expensive cars, shoes and watches but also audio and especially expensive audio, then no recession has any influence on sales in those areas.

WP: Do you think that Blu-ray will be a success or is it a lost format from the very onset? DD: loud puff from his mouth This depends solely on the big companies and how determined they are. From the consumer's point of view, there are too many formats already, too many possibilities to feel lost. People want to be left alone and have clear rules. Those two collide so who will be the winner?

Nobody knows. WP: What is your favored format? DD: Vinyl of course. Two channels. In these days dominated by digital signal, a good system based on the vinyl disc still sounds more natural and plain better than even the best digital players. That's why I still buy vinyl. WP: Is there no chance that high resolution downloads to hard disk will bring those two worlds together? DD: Of course they will!

Good digital sources are getting better and the Internet is a splendid portal to make them available. But I think that well recorded music from a well prepared analog disc is still closer to what we hear around ourselves.

WP: Do you think that we'll see new technology appear that can change some part of the audio business or will we continue with what our ancestors came up with? DD: I think that not much has changed over man, many years and that nothing will change either. Please look at our system. We use amplifiers with single Western Electric power tubes, we use dynamic speakers etc.

There is nothing new on the horizon. WP: Don't you think that a kind of anachronism? DD: No, no, this is the best way of expressing what was recorded by the artist as I see it and deal with recordings. If we want to be honest about what we do, the only question in this situation really is whether the sound is credible, whether we can believe it to be a real event. WP: Your new Decco series has different enclosures from the classic models.

Is this just a design feature? DD: In the beginning we only meant to propose a fresh look. But from the first prototype onward, it was apparent that we had also changed the sound. Not just the shape of the loudspeakers was improved but their sound as well I will merely add that we tested the model A. T Loudspeakers Stiletto 6 here. I was very curious to hear how the 10 would sound so right after unpacking, I listened to two discs the same evening - Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here and King Crimson's In The Court of The Crimson King , oldies but absolute classics; and, this was also important, fitting the evening mood.

I immediately knew these to be completely different speakers than the Dobermann or Xavian Giulia I had on parallel assignment. Completely different. After listening to those two discs, I knew that although this review ventured in a different direction, it would be a classy hi-end one. Why hi-end? What hi-end is and isn't has been endlessly discussed but we still lack a clear definition.

Each listener has his own ideas about which product is hi-end and which is not. With speakers like the Moderne 10, there is no such dilemma because it sits not at the entry of this group but comfortably in the middle. How so? First off, the sound is very credible. We do not call upon this often but it is the basis of making our body, head and all the rest assume at least for a short while that what happens in front of us is the real thing.

A thorough replication of the live event is not possible and we should not count on succeeding some day but hi-end products with all their mechanical and technological flaws and limitations can present something such that it makes us forget ourselves to simply listen to the music. This is a very uncertain criterium of course since it depends much on the perception and sensibility of the listener. Some will pass out with budget NAD, others with top Jadis.

So we have to assume that the listener is educated in this area and knows what he listens to and what she hears. Credibility then. I think that the Dunlop brothers succeeded in funneling the spirit of music into their loudspeakers. Despite that fact -- and I will repeat this because it's important -- these are completely different transducers than the ones I chose for my system.

This became such a frequent pleasure that he visited Gothenburg Concert hall up to two times a week and had a private seat there until During this period he also made recordings with an extremely modified Revox A77 tape recorder using different microphones. It was at this point that Reidar created a reference for true, natural sound and his knowledge of room acoustics. As many other loudspeaker manufacturers he wasn't satisfied with the sound from his current loudspeakers, so he started to modify and experiment on his loudspeakers at home. In Reidar took this interest a lot more seriously and together with a relative of his, he started to experiment with some new loudspeaker design ideas and learned the art of building loudspeakers. RESPONS GRAND was immediately recognized as something special, not only for the excellent sound quality but also for having a pyramid shape and two separate cabinets; one large cabinet housing the woofers and a smaller cabinet for the mid and tweeter.

The Best Speakers for Art Installations

TAB log. First Sounds: Art Loudspeakers Alnico Art was founded in as the speaker arm of well-established and highly respected turntable manufacturer Systemdek, itself one of the original Scottish "big three," along with Ariston and the usurper, Linn. I recently had cause to visit Kevin Walker, lover of the off beat, the unfashionable, the eclectic, but above all those rarest of audio animals, the ones that deliver solid, unpretentious musical value.

And its primary material, cast iron, likely evokes visions of frying pans rather than moments of aural greatness. Its genesis began about a decade ago, when Weiss stumbled upon a collection of rare pre—World War II jukeboxes for sale. Speakers produce an electrical current that, when it changes, creates a magnetic field; magnets are used to generate an opposing magnetic field that forms vibrations, the sounds we hear. While this particular design was phased out decades ago in favor of newer technologies, it produces a distinctively pure and musical sound that Weiss wanted to preserve. Their most significant addition: a custom quadratic diffuser—a series of thick, strategically placed wells of varying depths that optimize and balance sound—cast in iron using 3D-printed sand molds of their design. In , NASA launched two Voyager spacecraft into the sky with the initial goal of exploring the outer solar system.

A triumph of form marrying function, MUON is perhaps the most extraordinary loudspeaker ever conceived. HiFi Speakers.
