I’ve known about Wharfedale speakers forever; they’re a classic brand for music lovers. For a while there, they seemed to disappear, but now they’re definitely back. For years, I’d only gotten a quick listen to their new stuff at audio shows, but I finally decided to really get to know them properly. I started with…
Imagine headphones that don’t just tune to your room—they tune to you. Your ears. Your hearing curve. Your personal sonic fingerprint. This isn’t science fiction anymore. It is the beginning of a revolution in high-fidelity listening: AI-assisted sound personalization, led by technologies like Masimo AAT (Adaptive Acoustic Technology), which was recently adopted by Denon. The impact here is much bigger than a…
When you are spending nearly $2,000 on a subwoofer, you aren’t just buying a box that goes “boom.” You are investing in the foundation of your entire audio experience. SVS is the king of this hill, but their lineup can be confusing. Do you save cash and go for the massive, ported PB-3000, or do…
Key Takeaways: I didn’t originally buy the Wharfedale Super Linton for myself. The idea actually came from my nephew, who had been quietly—well, not that quietly—campaigning for them as his “dream speakers” for months. Eventually, I caved. Finding a pair wasn’t instant, either.

The Spendor A7 is one of those speakers that doesn’t try to impress you at first glance—but once you sit down and listen, the refinement and control quietly take over the room. I spent several days testing the A7s in my treated listening space using a range of amplifiers, DACs, and sources, and the experience…
These top-quality floorstanding speakers will instantly supercharge your hi-fi system and deliver room-filling sound. With larger cabinets than standard bookshelf speakers, floorstanders naturally produce a larger scale of sound, better dynamics, and deeper bass. That said, having a bigger cabinet doesn’t always guarantee better sound. You still need to choose wisely to ensure you get…
There are moments in this hobby when a speaker surprises you—not with volume or sparkle, but with maturity. The Wharfedale EVO 5.4 gave me exactly that feeling the first time I brought it into my listening room. I’ve reviewed plenty of floorstanders around this price, but these felt different. Calm. Confident. As if they knew…
When NAD first introduced the C 700, it instantly became one of those rare “set-and-forget” amplifiers, a compact, modern, and musical streaming amp that just worked. It had the soul of classic NAD gear and the polish of BluOS intelligence. For many people, it became the entry point into true high-fidelity without the bulk and…
