Extract of what he said:
"...The S9s did well on the ultimate test, reproduced versus live music. As it happened, I was doing much of my listening to them during a time when my orchestra (St. Matthew’s Chamber Orchestra) was preparing for a concert. So when I listened to things like the Sitkovetsky/Bach Goldberg Variations, in an arrangement for string orchestra [Nonesuch], I had an almost immediate memory of the real sound of a string orchestra. Few speakers fail to be humiliated by such a recent memory of reality. The S9s were really convincing in this nearly direct comparison with live music. And with their unstrained dynamic behavior, they were convincing on large-scaled orchestral music like full orchestra as well. The famous Byron Janis Rachmaninoff Third Piano Concerto on Mercury was very well done from top to bottom..."
