By Juan C. Ayllon Living in the Midwest, summer is a festive season for us. It’s as if we emerge a cold winters thaw and come out to play. It is a time when we especially enjoy entertaining family and friends. Yesterday, was an especially gratifying celebration of family and music.

By Juan C. Ayllon This past April, my wife, Belle, and I attended Audio Expo North America (AXPONA) and one unexpected benefit was that our listening/media room ended up getting a makeover (click here for more details). This is no small feat: getting my wife to move her beloved media center armoire from the man cave to another room was huge and immediately impactful on the sound in the space, which is now less congested. Moreover, it now sports a cleaner, sleeker look that Belle and I were looking to get. It is a work in progress.
Moreover, the Von Schweikert VR-5 HSE speakers, which have been a mainstay for the last several years, are now sold. In their place, I am auditioning a pair of Usher Mini Dancer Two DMD speakers (which sound fantastic as they are burning in) and will be auditioning several others, as well before making a final determination of the VR-5's successors. It's an exciting time, but as if that wasn't enough, wait, there's more! |
