Newport 2014: Horning, Tron, TW-Acustic
Either:
a) this room is getting better each show
b) the other rooms are getting worse, or
c) I am going slowly mad
I prefer to think that the answer is a), the room is getting better sounding each show.
Nicely dynamic and tuneful (the Teo Cable no doubt helps with this some), this system just conveys the energy of the music quite nicely, something missing from most rooms. No hardness or over-emphasis of this frequency or that, at least during my short visit [however, most short visits in other rooms immediately reveal such problems].
Perhaps when looking at the things that make up music: harmonics, dynamics, frequency range, resolution… it is good to not over-emphasize one with respect to the others. To keep the balance, to keep it musical.
The organic harmonics and medium resolution of the Teo cable is balanced by the high resolution of the turntable. The lack of bass slam in speakers this size is balanced by careful placement and presumably those platforms they put them on.
Anyway, liked this room I did.
