Every once in a while, I want to slow down. Stop the steady stream of flickering images, words, and noise (internal and external) and pay attention to slower quieter things.

Review: Marten Parker Trio Floor Standing Loudspeakers

August 18, 2022 Michael Lavorgna
You might think that all well designed and well made speakers are easy to like. In my experience, this isn’t always the case. Some speakers can sound downright foreign, as if their musical language isn’t the same as yours.
