Whooo Boy! This could easily be a book instead of an opinion piece! This is bigger than Cubs vs White Sox, tastes great vs less filling, and Van Halen...

JBL L100 Classic Speakers Review

Glenn Young

The JBL L100 Classic speakers are the 21st-century versions of the famous JBL L100 Studio Monitor speakers of years ago. But unlike the previous models, these new speakers benefit from all the technological improvements of the previous decades.

Audio Research VT80SE Tube Power Amplifier Review

Glenn Young

The Audio Research VT80SE Special Edition Tube Power Amplifier provides a spectacular soundstage and a natural sounding presentation. There is no solid-state glare. The VT80SE tubed power amplifier is built to last a lifetime, and its quality is evident both on the inside and the outside. If you want Audio Research sound without the price of their Reference series, this amplifier delivers!

Klipsch RP-600M Loudspeaker Review

Glenn Young

The Klipsch RP-600M loudspeakers are part of the Reference Premiere series. Although they have only a 6.5” diameter woofer, they provide acceptable bass volume and extension. The real star of this speaker, though, is the Tractrix horn tweeter. It provides horn articulation and detail without the traditional horn sound.

Power Sound Audio S1510DF Subwoofer Review

Glenn Young

The Power Sound Audio S1510DF Subwoofer is one of the smallest and least expensive subs produced by the company. But despite its modest cost, the Power Sound Audio S1510DF subwoofer, with its 15” driver, is one of the best sounding and most versatile products in the line. Since this is a downward-firing product, the driver is protected from pets and kids. And best of all, it is a sealed box design that prevents one-note bass and allows for even lower frequency response.

Sonus Faber Sonetto VIII Speaker Review

Glenn Young

The Sonus faber Sonetto VIII floorstanding speakers not only look like a million bucks but sound that way too. And the Sonus faber Sonetto VIII speakers aren’t even Sonus faber’s top of the line! Everyone who walked into my living room during this review had the exact same reaction to them - “Oooooooh! – What are THOSE?” Although they are quite large, they have the highest visual acceptance factor of any speakers I’ve yet reviewed, and they sound every bit as great as they look.
