<!-- #thumb --> <p>As we cruised the halls of the audio show we discovered a number of interesting rooms and systems: some great, some not so great. *One great system surprised me because it’s about as far away from what I would have ever considered having in my home as I can imagine. *Yet, this system honored the music in a surprising way. *It romanticized it.</p>
<p>The 99dB efficient loudspeakers were from 1954 and were powered by a similar vintage 2-watt tube amplifier. *The source was a magnificent turntable and as we listened, smiles came onto our faces.</p>
<p>Nothing in the system’s presentation sounded like an attempt at real; the frequency response and dynamics limited (as you might expect). *No layering, few inner details, not much to write home about from a high-performance standpoint. *Yet we were thoroughly entranced by the music. *Everything was lovely sounding, even poor recordings.</p>
<p>One of the things I truly love about this industry is the number of people who, in their own ways, bring the joy of music to so many people. *It simply reminds me there are systems that would never qualify as “high end” in any technical sense, yet provide the listener with musical ecstasy all of us can appreciate.</p>
