Newport 2014. Dartzeel and Evolution Acoustics


Evolution Acoustics speakers, Dartzeel electronics, Wave Kinetics turntable and Ampex ATR reel-to-reel

This room sounded good at this show [really prefer these larger speakers than the little monitors], and was in the top five or six rooms at the show, sound wise, to our ears.

Hit all the main points of music reproduction – not doing anything terribly wrong, nor stupendously right, either. A little on the neutral side, detailed, and fairly even across the frequency spectrum and, well, that kind of describes it.
