Paul McGowan writes: Many years ago and Arnie Nudell and I were running Genesis Technologies, a high-end loudspeaker company based here in Colorado. We had arrived at HP’s and setup a new pair of loudspeakers we wanted him to review. All Genesis high-end loudspeakers had built in subwoofers, a trait started by Arnie while at […]
Hello Neil. Thanking you in advance even if you cannot help. Were Sequerra loudspeakers ever officially imported into the UK? Were they any good. What was the range and what was the price please? Finally were these designed by the same guy who designed that fantastic FM tuner? JJ Hi JJ. The word ‘imported’ can […]

His assignment: To increase the efficiency of lasers so that they could do something more impressive than produce holograms, mend leaky retinal blood vessels, and punch pinholes in steel blocks.

Paul McGowan writes: Since its launch in 1985, only a sparse handful of speakers have reached its level of dynamics, transparency, and sheer musicality. It’s not that others can’t. To do so takes a big speaker and a lot of money. Now that we are moved into our new building we’re finishing up three new […]
I read one of your posts about the Beveridge speakers. I am located in Chicago have recently purchased a pair of Beveridge 2sw speakers. Before running the Beveridges, I was using Apogee Scintilla speakers. As good as the Scintillas are they are no match for the Beveridge speakers. I feel like I have died and […]
The Flame Still Burns Imagine a speaker with no moving parts. No mass, no cones, no ribbons, no diaphragms, no enclosure, no Doppler shift, no resonances- just the ability to modulate the air directly. Now imagine a perfect audio point source (the ideal pulsating sphere) radiating uniformly with constant phase. This has been the dream of physicists for […]
It’s hard enough to know what loudspeaker to purchase but with the shrinking dealer base, how does one go about making any sort of intelligent decision these days? Watch Now
What Hi-Fi? write: Stereo speakers are the heart and soul of a hi-fi system, and we’ve sifted through 17 years’ worth of Awards issues to pick the top pairs since the turn of the century… Continues HERE
PS AUDIO / Paul McGowan In my post about Dr. Suess and HiFi, I mentioned the work on loudspeaker enclosures by British engineer Leslie Bucknell while at the company my father worked for, Stromberg Carlson. Bucknell’s approach to loudspeaker design was to create a speaker enclosure that would eliminate distortions that occur because of cancellations […]
Now i am not on the expensive range of gorgeous gear many have on here… but i am happy with the set up i have. I run Monitor Audio BX5’s as my main stereo speakers & as many they are bi wire. I have tried doing bi-wire wires from the Yam Aventage amp & could […]
The center image of a two-channel system is known as the phantom channel for a good reason. It is an illusion. It doesn’t actually exist. Once you realize the center channel is completely dependent on setup, room, and speaker placement, it becomes a lot easier to purposefully do whatever it takes to enhance the palpability of your […]
May need to live with some speakers that are good at low volume for a while, due to an ear problem. My room is 15 x 12 and the speakers fire from the 12 foot wall. I use Harbeth C7’s. They have been a reasonable compromise for some years now, but they work a good […]
They say ….. What do you do if you covet Magnepan’s soaring loudspeakers but don’t have the largest of listening rooms? “We hear you”, said Magnepan. Enter the new 0.7 (‘point seven’), a scaled down version of the brand’s acclaimed 1.7 model. To say that Magnepan’s Magneplanar 1.7 flat-panel loudspeaker is highly regarded in its […]
Dear oh dear. Another re-run of the day before – almost. Must get to grips with the paperwork, inconsistent focus and all-too-easy distractions. Make a note not to look at eBay or the BBC website on Wednesday. Tough call. “My fellow addicts, I come to you this evening to tell you that I am an […]
