...the AE sounds truly excellent. It drove the LCD-2 to very loud levels with ease, and the sound was lively, engaging, and highly transparent. I think the AE provided the most neutral sound I have heard from the LCD-2, but without being the least bit bright, edgy, or etched. Bass was extremely well defined and tight, with the appropriate amount of weight (but the bass is not overweighted). The treble is very extended and smooth – and the AE may provide the best treble performance I have ever heard from the LCD-2, in that there was absolutely no feeling of treble reticence, in spite of there also being no unwanted sibilance or etch. That’s not an easy trick. And the mids were beautiful – clean, clear, and yet very sweet and lush.
...it provides world-class sound from the LCD-2 in a compact package. It provides some very cool features, and is very well built and easy to use.
...the AE is very highly and enthusiastically recommended.
Special thanks to Rob (Skylab) for his comprehensive and professional review - we (Alex of Audeze, Ken of ALO Audio, and myself) greatly appreciate it!
Sincerely,
Vinnie
