Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $1540.00 from MUST HIFI LIEGE BELG

Summary:
Based on comparison to mid price range 1000-2000 $
I found the LSi15 very natural with good equity between bass medium and high frequency. Listening to classical then jazz music the different instrument were there, present in front of me. The voice were very clear; only after 15 minutes of listening a really small excess of high frequencies resonance (not distorsion) was felt.
Comparison with same type of speaker from other manufacturer put them out immediately off race for this excessive resonance ih the high spectrum.
Comparison with lSi 15 from same manufacturer showed the -very small, I insist-resonance had disappeared but there was a little lack in the higher range; the compromise is difficult to my ears.
RTi10 is for me the best choice in this cost range. They will complete my vintage series of loudspeaker.
This trade is unfortunately not sold in France where I live now and I discovered it in Belgium where I am from. I was decided to buy another well known American trade when the comparison was proposed.
For listening at very high volume, I would not recommand them due to relative low sensitivity, but you are there at volume higher than real instrument and you have to mind your ears ! However for electronic music requiring very high level of bass, I would recommend to add an additional bass box, the .
A nice discovery not enough known on old continent ! I would recommend them to friends

Strengths:
Excellent for the mid range price (1000 to 2000 USD)
good equilibrium between low, mid and high frequencies.
Great details from each instrument.
Very natural sound.
Very nice look
Build quality is excellent

Weaknesses:
A very little not enough damped oscillation at high frequencies

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
