Honestly, I was amazed at the detail and ease of the presentation–I heard it all, and it was a lovely and intoxicating sound. I had the same impression of the Living Voice R80 back in Munich last year–this is a gorgeous and well-crafted loudspeaker, built with care, that focuses on the sheer beauty of the music. I’m glad I didn’t forget to visit this room at FLAX–it was one of the finest sounds at the show.

 

Positive Feedback by Tom Gibbs

Listening to the Living Voice R80 OBX loudspeakers in the system was, in a word, intoxicating, and I instantaneously developed an emotional connection with the music playing across them. Their pinpoint imaging was simply astounding, and they painted a picture of the performance that stretched beyond and behind the boundaries of the loudspeakers. A standout selection was a delicate but heavily percussive track Triode Pete played from a 1961 Shelly Manne album, which was a showcase for the strengths of this system. On this system, the R80 OBX loudspeakers transported me back in time, and I could visualize the performers captured in a very real space with uncanny accuracy. And as the system blew through a series of jazz, big band, and vocal tracks, I also found myself quite taken by the stunning visual impression their gorgeous, glossy ebony cabinets made on me.

I asked Pete to play something orchestral to which he responded by streaming Eiji Oue conducting Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances. As resolving as Dews’ previous DAC, with a rounder sound and improved tonal balance, the system danced and stormed, soared high and swooned low, leaving me a squishy puddle of emotion and excitation. I mustered enough energy to get off the floor and stumbled down the hall to my next audio appointment
