Power. Sweet, sweet power. I suppose there’s such a thing as too much power when it comes to hifi, but I think it’s actually bad sounding power we’re talking about as opposed to too much.
Lowther Loudspeaker Systems Ltd. released its first speaker in 1934, a decade in the making. The sleeping giant of single driver fame has awakened once more with the Almira, their first new speaker in 3 decades.
I’ve long admired the speakers from Sweden’s Marten at HiFi shows over the years but I’ve never had the pleasure of living with a pair. Until now.
Context is key.
When I first heard the company name for the A-2 Integrated Amp, I thought of the Italian jazz record label that released over 350 records from the likes of Bill Dixon, Mal Waldron, and Cecil Taylor.
Of all the Darko.Audio podcasts I’ve had the pleasure to be a part of, The Real Value of Measurements is among my favorites. Why?
And now for something completely different.
When I watched the 50th Anniversary PSB video and eyed the Passif II Standmount Loudspeaker that date from 1974(!), I thought—Damn! PSB should make that speaker again! Retro-loving minds apparently think alike.

The brand spankin’ new Bel Canto e.One Stream2 has arrived in Barn, fresh off the production line.
Fifty years is a long time in human time. In HiFi, its nearly forever.
Anyone in the hifi hobby, especially those who have the good sense to enjoy spinning records, know Michael Fremer. More or less.
Zu Audio’s new Union Series Speakers is comprised of three models that replace six models. The result? Simplifying choice.
I’ve long admired the products from Lumin for their aesthetic appeal that speaks to my eyes and ears.

With the Z40+ Integrated Amplifier, Linear Tube Audio (LTA) promises—”beautiful tube tone with the clarity of solid state”—from 51 Watts (into 4 Ohms) of push-pull, class A/B output transformer-less ZOTL power per channel.
Even wireless speakers need some wires, and in the case of KEF’s new (and improved) LSX II Wireless HiFi Speakers, you can get away with just a pair of power cords.
The LSA VT-70 Integrated Tube Amplifier is a genuine HiFi Bargain.
How? That was the word and question that nagged at me all the while the LSA VT-70 amp was lighting up the Barn. How can you get so much for so little?
It’s a regular thing.
