The Sonata II still houses the all-new point-to-point-wired crossover (first order for all drivers except the midrange, which is second order) in a separate compartment, but there is now a user-filled sandbox at the base of the speaker. Once full, this sandbox is said to increase mass for the dissipation of spurious and damaging bass energy, and it adds some 17 pounds to the speaker's weight. No doubt about it, the new speaker has a brawny look about it with its new broad shoulders and squared stance. It measures 45"H x 12"W x 16"D and weighs 130 pounds sand filled. The speakers come with black grilles that cover the entire front, but I preferred the sound without them. Silverline specifies a sensitivity of 95dB, an increase of 2dB over the older model, and the same easy-to-drive, tube-friendly 8-ohm nominal impedance. The crossover frequencies are 600Hz, 1200Hz, 2000Hz and 3500Hz, and the frequency response is given as 25Hz to 28kHz with no tolerance stated. Speaker connections were made via very sturdy dual sets of gold-plated five-way binding posts, which are recessed into the bottom rear of the cabinet. Silverline recommends a minimum of 10 watts to drive the speakers and a maximum of 1000 watts. The speaker is also available in rosewood veneer that is as equally beautiful as briarwood. The retail price of the Sonata II is $5999 per pair, the same price as its predecessor. 1 / 247 -

EgglestonWorks Andra Center Speaker Single owner and proffesionally cared for. Near to new as you can get. Colour : The black Dimensions, mm : 393 x 457 x 380 Weight, kg : 24.8 Main characteristics Sensitivity, : dB 87 Resistance, : Ohm 8 Frequency range, : Hz - kHz 78 - 24 Colour : The black Dimensions, mm : 393 x 457 x 380 Weight, kg : 24.8 It's always tough to follow an award-winning act. Wes Phillips raved about the original EgglestonWorks Andra back in October 1997, and it was subsequently dubbed Stereophile's Speaker of the Year for 1997. The Andra won many other plaudits, and found its way into a number of top-shelf recording studios as the monitor of choice. Such a reputation for excellence is the stuff most speaker designers dream of. It also imposes the burden of expectation—the "new and improved" version of such a knockout product had better be good, or else. Since the Andra's debut in Stereophile there have been big changes at EgglestonWorks. While too complex to detail here, the end result is that the company is now under the resolute leadership of president Michael Sabre and director of sales and marketing Jim Thompson, but remains in its tradition-rich home of Memphis, Tennessee. When Sabre and Thompson determined that the time was ripe for updating the Andra, they didn't have far to look for inspiration. After Sabre assumed control of the company, EW developed their titanic Ivy Reference in collaboration with mastering legend Bob Ludwig, for use as Ludwig's reference at Gateway Mastering. The Ivy was then translated into the only slightly less imposing Savoy. The lofty ambitions of the Andra II project were to make significant and meaningful improvements to the Andra, ladling in a large share of the performance of the $100,000/pair Ivy and $40,000/pair Savoy. The primary goals were more accurate amplitude response, higher efficiency, deeper bass response, and a major increase in overall transparency—a tall order. Evolution at Work Some of what has changed in the journey from Andra to Andra II is apparent at first glance. The Andra II is more than 7" taller than the original. The cabinet has very thick (1.53-1.79") walls of layers of MDF laminated together with vibration-damping adhesives, then cut to shape on a computer-controlled milling machine. The slim top section, containing the midrange drivers and tweeter, remains clad in black granite, and the overall fit and finish are everything one would expect in a speaker costing nearly $20,000/pair. With their slender top sections and deep-cabinet design, the Andras do not overpower a room, and their handsome presence attracted plenty of appreciative comments. The knuckle-rap test produced only bruised knuckles and a heavily muted tk from the speakers. These are exceedingly dead boxes. A glance around the back of the speaker shows another major change. The cabinet is now a sealed box, and the woofer chamber is 50% larger than that of the original Andra. Just about all that hasn't changed are the drivers (footnote 1). The twin Dynaudio 12" woofers have 4" voice-coils to handle high power, and are considerably farther off the floor than in the original Andra. They now operate in a pressure-loaded push/push (isobaric) configuration, and the cabinet in which they work is filled with a non-settling, crimped Dacron called AcoustaStuff. The result is a more even impedance curve and improved efficiency over the first Andra. The Andra's heart remains two beefy 6" Morel 166 midrange drivers connected directly to the speaker's inputs. The Morels are modified by EW to meet their own specifications, have 3" voice-coils, and, like the woofers, can accommodate large amounts of power. The original Andra ran these drivers full-range, but the EW design team became convinced that driver-to-driver differences in the Morels' top-end rolloff compromised the speaker's ultimate performance. One of the most challenging exercises for the EW team was therefore developing a crossover network that let the Morels work only in their most effective bandwidth without affecting the speaker's much-lauded midrange. According to Sabre, achieving this took months of work, primarily listening. The midrange drivers now operate with sealed transmission-line loading, with more AcoustaStuff packed into the labyrinth. Up top, the Dynaudio Esotar tweeter still holds pride of place. If there's a better dome tweeter, I haven't heard it. 9 / 247 -

The original Andra ran these drivers full-range, but the EW design team became convinced that driver-to-driver differences in the Morels' top-end rolloff compromised the speaker's ultimate performance. One of the most challenging exercises for the EW team was therefore developing a crossover network that let the Morels work only in their most effective bandwidth without affecting the speaker's much-lauded midrange. According to Sabre, achieving this took months of work, primarily listening. The midrange drivers now operate with sealed transmission-line loading, with more AcoustaStuff packed into the labyrinth. Up top, the Dynaudio Esotar tweeter still holds pride of place. If there's a better dome tweeter, I haven't heard it. 13 / 247 -
EgglestonWorks Andra Center Speaker Single owner and proffesionally cared for. Near to new as you can get. Colour : The black Dimensions, mm : 393 x 457 x 380 Weight, kg : 24.8 Main characteristics Sensitivity, : dB 87 Resistance, : Ohm 8 Frequency range, : Hz - kHz 78 - 24 Colour : The black Dimensions, mm : 393 x 457 x 380 Weight, kg : 24.8 It's always tough to follow an award-winning act. Wes Phillips raved about the original EgglestonWorks Andra back in October 1997, and it was subsequently dubbed Stereophile's Speaker of the Year for 1997. The Andra won many other plaudits, and found its way into a number of top-shelf recording studios as the monitor of choice. Such a reputation for excellence is the stuff most speaker designers dream of. It also imposes the burden of expectation—the "new and improved" version of such a knockout product had better be good, or else. Since the Andra's debut in Stereophile there have been big changes at EgglestonWorks. While too complex to detail here, the end result is that the company is now under the resolute leadership of president Michael Sabre and director of sales and marketing Jim Thompson, but remains in its tradition-rich home of Memphis, Tennessee. When Sabre and Thompson determined that the time was ripe for updating the Andra, they didn't have far to look for inspiration. After Sabre assumed control of the company, EW developed their titanic Ivy Reference in collaboration with mastering legend Bob Ludwig, for use as Ludwig's reference at Gateway Mastering. The Ivy was then translated into the only slightly less imposing Savoy. The lofty ambitions of the Andra II project were to make significant and meaningful improvements to the Andra, ladling in a large share of the performance of the $100,000/pair Ivy and $40,000/pair Savoy. The primary goals were more accurate amplitude response, higher efficiency, deeper bass response, and a major increase in overall transparency—a tall order. Evolution at Work Some of what has changed in the journey from Andra to Andra II is apparent at first glance. The Andra II is more than 7" taller than the original. The cabinet has very thick (1.53-1.79") walls of layers of MDF laminated together with vibration-damping adhesives, then cut to shape on a computer-controlled milling machine. The slim top section, containing the midrange drivers and tweeter, remains clad in black granite, and the overall fit and finish are everything one would expect in a speaker costing nearly $20,000/pair. With their slender top sections and deep-cabinet design, the Andras do not overpower a room, and their handsome presence attracted plenty of appreciative comments. The knuckle-rap test produced only bruised knuckles and a heavily muted tk from the speakers. These are exceedingly dead boxes. A glance around the back of the speaker shows another major change. The cabinet is now a sealed box, and the woofer chamber is 50% larger than that of the original Andra. Just about all that hasn't changed are the drivers (footnote 1). The twin Dynaudio 12" woofers have 4" voice-coils to handle high power, and are considerably farther off the floor than in the original Andra. They now operate in a pressure-loaded push/push (isobaric) configuration, and the cabinet in which they work is filled with a non-settling, crimped Dacron called AcoustaStuff. The result is a more even impedance curve and improved efficiency over the first Andra. The Andra's heart remains two beefy 6" Morel 166 midrange drivers connected directly to the speaker's inputs.

A “New” Generation of Integrated amplifiers – the Black Signature Series! But how new is “New”!? Add in “purpose-designed to power ultra-low speaker impedances”, while keeping it all in the family with the same circuit boards and Dual Mono remote control as Amplifolia range products. This electronically-cloned Black Series RGi35ENR was named in deference to its wood-panelled clone “mother”, the then 50Wpc original REDGUM Signature Series RGi35ENR (now renamed for the Amplifolia Range as the Stellulata). BUT now purpose-designed as the Black Series to drive ultra-low speaker impedances, the mother’s official rating gives only a hint of the full powers realised here by her offspring … 65Wpc into 8Ω Transient 140W Short term RMS 80Wpc into 4Ω Transient 280W Short term RMS 95Wpc into 2Ω Transient 560W Short term RMS Being a turbo-charged version of the long tried-and-trusted original REDGUM RGi35ENR, the Black Series RGi35ENR remains totally a REDGUM design. As for any chip off the old block, naturally it has the same REDGUM sound! N.B. All REDGUM amplifiers have inputs suitable for Home Theatre Bypass.

Where the Paradigms did not fail was in their ability to throw as big a soundstage as the Revels, and in the inaudibility of their crossover transitions. Taken by themselves, the Paradigms did an impressive and musically satisfying job. If I couldn't afford better and more costly speakers, I could live happily ever after with the 60 v.3s as the speakers in my two-channel listening system. I then trucked the Paradigms up to Connecticut, to audition them in a different acoustic and to hear how they worked as part of a multichannel setup. Much as I like to describe a component's inherent characteristics before making comparisons, the Studio/60 v.3s were replacing their immediate forebears, the v.2s, and comparisons were unavoidable. At first, the v.3 seemed to have a bit less bass extension than the v.2, though it had substantially greater fullness and weight in the bass above 80Hz. The v.3 was slightly more forward in the midrange, but also much clearer and more detailed. In the extreme high frequencies, brushed cymbals sounded comparable on both versions of the Studio/60, but small movements of my head influenced my perceptions, so I can't be adamant about that. Overall, the v.3s produced a slightly wider, deeper soundstage, and remained more engaging over long listening sessions. However, in the midst of evaluating the Studio/60 v.3, the acoustics of my multichannel listening room were drastically improved by the installation of a number of Real Traps (footnote 1), which changed everything. While the v.2 also sounded better in this new acoustic environment, the distinctions between v.2 and v.3 became much more distinct. With wideband white noise and a little head movement, I could hear the crossover from the v.2's tweeter to the other drivers from as far away as 6'. With the v.3, however, the white noise seemed to come from a single source, as long as my ears were at least 1-2' from the speaker. In this setup, at my normal listening distance of about 9', I heard subtle suggestions of the same difference with music. The v.3 was, as it had been in my two-channel system, integrated and seamless, with no excess sibilance, and normal sibilants were not disconnected from the main voice. Esquina de SP (SACD, Saidera SD-1027H) is a live recording of Brazilian singer Wilma de Oliveira, accompanied by guitar, drums, and a small vocal group. The two-channel tracks are spacious, with an intoxicating club atmosphere that the multichannel track enhances only slightly. (This SACD is strange; the multichannel tracks and the two-channel DSD and "Red Book" tracks have 11 songs in common, as well as several not found on the other tracks.) De Oliveira's warm, lilting voice was front and center, but I could easily hear her respond to each of the other performers without ever going off-mike. Overall, I enjoyed a delightful evening of classic samba and bossa nova, Studio/60 v.3s revealing the harmonies and the percussive spice; the v.2s were caught out by several effects that excessively highlighted the cymbals. The acoustic improvements wrought by the Real Traps also revealed my misjudgment of the Studio/60 v.3's bass performance. Apparently, the speaker's upper-bass output had been exciting room modes that now were damped by the Real Traps. As a result, the v.3 now went as deep as the v.2, and more smoothly—even though, on paper, the v.2 has a bit greater extension. Listening to Buster Williams' piccolo bass variations on a theme from Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, on Griot Liberte (CD, High Note HCD7123), I was impressed with the tightness and power across the instrument's range. Admittedly, this was no bass stress test in the audiophile sense, but as one follows Buster's explication of Rodrigo in detail, it is a musical stress test of the speaker and room. Rudy Van Gelder's production and the Studio/60 v.3s delivered, whether in two or five channels, with no help needed from a subwoofer. Indeed, switching in my Paradigm Servo-15 subwoofer below 40Hz via an Outlaw ICBM bass manager was counterproductive—it emphasized room sound more than the instrument. The Studio/60 v.3s handled the really big stuff, such as the Berlioz Requiem with Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus (SACD, Telarc SACD-80627), with power and aplomb, whether in two channels or many. Their multichannel performance was particularly extraordinary: I ran the Studio/60 v.3s full-range as the main left and right speakers, aided by a Studio/60 v.2 in the center and a pair of Studio/20 v.2s in the rear. The purity of the voices was never corrupted by the need to simultaneously invest huge acoustical power in reproducing the orchestra and brass bands. When I added Paradigm's Servo-15, it mostly just gilded the lily—the Studio/60 v.3s didn't need much help to sound absolutely spectacular. Conclusions I originally bought my Paradigm Studio/60 v.2s because I wanted small floorstanding speakers that had full-range sound, and they filled the bill. The Studio/60 v.3 is significantly bigger and significantly better than the v.2. Perhaps the most important improvement is in the v.3's overall smoothness and balance, from the low bass all the way to the top. This is difficult to achieve, and has been the downfall of many speakers, especially low- to mid-priced floorstanders. It's also why many listeners forgo deep bass altogether in this price range, preferring to go with small two-way monitor speakers. The Paradigm Reference Studio/60 v.3, however, has a seamlessness and a wide frequency range that I usually associate with speakers many times its price. Over the years, I've reviewed a number of speakers in the $1000-$2000/pair range because this is where, it seems to me, the going gets tough. Speakers costing less than $1000/pair usually include serious compromises, and those costing more than $2000/pair, no matter how good they are, can be enjoyed only by the relative few who can afford them. In this range, several other speakers have outstanding and desirable traits, but no speaker costing anywhere near $1600/pair has a better integration of all performance parameters than Paradigm's Reference Studio/60 v.3. 47 / 247 -

Overall, the v.3s produced a slightly wider, deeper soundstage, and remained more engaging over long listening sessions. However, in the midst of evaluating the Studio/60 v.3, the acoustics of my multichannel listening room were drastically improved by the installation of a number of Real Traps (footnote 1), which changed everything. While the v.2 also sounded better in this new acoustic environment, the distinctions between v.2 and v.3 became much more distinct. With wideband white noise and a little head movement, I could hear the crossover from the v.2's tweeter to the other drivers from as far away as 6'. With the v.3, however, the white noise seemed to come from a single source, as long as my ears were at least 1-2' from the speaker. In this setup, at my normal listening distance of about 9', I heard subtle suggestions of the same difference with music. The v.3 was, as it had been in my two-channel system, integrated and seamless, with no excess sibilance, and normal sibilants were not disconnected from the main voice. Esquina de SP (SACD, Saidera SD-1027H) is a live recording of Brazilian singer Wilma de Oliveira, accompanied by guitar, drums, and a small vocal group. The two-channel tracks are spacious, with an intoxicating club atmosphere that the multichannel track enhances only slightly. (This SACD is strange; the multichannel tracks and the two-channel DSD and "Red Book" tracks have 11 songs in common, as well as several not found on the other tracks.) De Oliveira's warm, lilting voice was front and center, but I could easily hear her respond to each of the other performers without ever going off-mike. Overall, I enjoyed a delightful evening of classic samba and bossa nova, Studio/60 v.3s revealing the harmonies and the percussive spice; the v.2s were caught out by several effects that excessively highlighted the cymbals. The acoustic improvements wrought by the Real Traps also revealed my misjudgment of the Studio/60 v.3's bass performance. Apparently, the speaker's upper-bass output had been exciting room modes that now were damped by the Real Traps. As a result, the v.3 now went as deep as the v.2, and more smoothly—even though, on paper, the v.2 has a bit greater extension. Listening to Buster Williams' piccolo bass variations on a theme from Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, on Griot Liberte (CD, High Note HCD7123), I was impressed with the tightness and power across the instrument's range. Admittedly, this was no bass stress test in the audiophile sense, but as one follows Buster's explication of Rodrigo in detail, it is a musical stress test of the speaker and room. Rudy Van Gelder's production and the Studio/60 v.3s delivered, whether in two or five channels, with no help needed from a subwoofer. Indeed, switching in my Paradigm Servo-15 subwoofer below 40Hz via an Outlaw ICBM bass manager was counterproductive—it emphasized room sound more than the instrument. The Studio/60 v.3s handled the really big stuff, such as the Berlioz Requiem with Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus (SACD, Telarc SACD-80627), with power and aplomb, whether in two channels or many. Their multichannel performance was particularly extraordinary: I ran the Studio/60 v.3s full-range as the main left and right speakers, aided by a Studio/60 v.2 in the center and a pair of Studio/20 v.2s in the rear. The purity of the voices was never corrupted by the need to simultaneously invest huge acoustical power in reproducing the orchestra and brass bands. When I added Paradigm's Servo-15, it mostly just gilded the lily—the Studio/60 v.3s didn't need much help to sound absolutely spectacular. Conclusions I originally bought my Paradigm Studio/60 v.2s because I wanted small floorstanding speakers that had full-range sound, and they filled the bill. The Studio/60 v.3 is significantly bigger and significantly better than the v.2. Perhaps the most important improvement is in the v.3's overall smoothness and balance, from the low bass all the way to the top. This is difficult to achieve, and has been the downfall of many speakers, especially low- to mid-priced floorstanders. It's also why many listeners forgo deep bass altogether in this price range, preferring to go with small two-way monitor speakers. The Paradigm Reference Studio/60 v.3, however, has a seamlessness and a wide frequency range that I usually associate with speakers many times its price. Over the years, I've reviewed a number of speakers in the $1000-$2000/pair range because this is where, it seems to me, the going gets tough. Speakers costing less than $1000/pair usually include serious compromises, and those costing more than $2000/pair, no matter how good they are, can be enjoyed only by the relative few who can afford them. In this range, several other speakers have outstanding and desirable traits, but no speaker costing anywhere near $1600/pair has a better integration of all performance parameters than Paradigm's Reference Studio/60 v.3. 49 / 247 -
Where the Paradigms did not fail was in their ability to throw as big a soundstage as the Revels, and in the inaudibility of their crossover transitions. Taken by themselves, the Paradigms did an impressive and musically satisfying job. If I couldn't afford better and more costly speakers, I could live happily ever after with the 60 v.3s as the speakers in my two-channel listening system. I then trucked the Paradigms up to Connecticut, to audition them in a different acoustic and to hear how they worked as part of a multichannel setup. Much as I like to describe a component's inherent characteristics before making comparisons, the Studio/60 v.3s were replacing their immediate forebears, the v.2s, and comparisons were unavoidable. At first, the v.3 seemed to have a bit less bass extension than the v.2, though it had substantially greater fullness and weight in the bass above 80Hz. The v.3 was slightly more forward in the midrange, but also much clearer and more detailed.

Sound Loud, clean and taut bass -- "can deliver 20Hz bass at levels in excess of 100dB"; external crossover is very transparent. Features Servo-controlled 15" driver; built-in 400W amplifier; external active crossover/controller with phase adjustment; can be purchased with internal crossover too. Use Three high-pass adjustments -- 50Hz, 80Hz and 120Hz -- as well as phase should make it easy to get good results with different speakers in different rooms. Value A lot of technology for $1500; can truly boast significant bang-for-the-buck! There aren’t many components that can access the audio reviewer’s inner-child with greater vigor and rapidity than a big baaaad subwoofer. I am very proud of myself for resisting the urge (most of the time!) to crank the gain of the Servo-15 to unduly exaggerated and punishing levels -- such levels proved to be more punishing for other household members then for myself. Although my listening room is set up in a finished basement, it is my understanding that some extraneous rattles and buzzes were happening up on the main floor and made my poor wife feel somewhat ill at ease. In fact, on at least one occasion I heard her make a hasty retreat from the epicenter at Rancho de Paco (our humble abode) shortly after the tremors began. 58 / 247 -

Description The original Technics SL1200 was introduced in 1972 and featured a servo-controlled direct-drive mechanism and EPA-120 tonearm. The turntable was also available without an arm as the SL-120. In 1979 the mkII was released with a Quartz Locked Phase control system providing exceptional pitch accuracy and an aluminium diecast cabinet which had a special heavy-duty rubber base to isolate the turntable from external vibration. The SL-1210 model is virtually identical to the SL-1200 but features voltage selection and is usually finished in black instead of silver. When Technics introduced the original SL-1200 direct drive turntable several years ago, it made all other turntables seem antiquated in comparison. It became a strong favourite among audio purists, amateur and professional, and was particularly popular in discos because of its rugged construction, easy handling, high torque and good immunity to feedback. The mkII represents the next generation, incorporating numerous improvements over the original. In addition to being quartz-locked, it permits continuous speed adjustment under quartz control, a feature appreciated by disco DJ's who wish to maintain consistent rhythm when changing records. Its starring torque is high, with the platter reaching speed within 0.7seconds from a standstill. It also maintains the selected speed better than the original SL-1200. It should also prove virtually feedback proof because of its special base design. 68 / 247 sold -
