Hello All,
I had the opportunity a few weeks ago to visit Danny's place and listen to his prototype Serenity Acoustics Loudspeaker that he is designing for the new company. Some who know me know that I am rather critical of all loudspeakers given enough listening time. Most of the time, whatever flaws there are, are completely acceptable because there is no such thing as a free lunch and all things are based upon the laws of physics. To gain in one spot is to lose in another. It is the manner of physics. I believe that this speaker comes the closest to matching the sound reproduction of a digital reproduction into as analogue as a recording as I have have ever heard. It is clean, the sound stage is wide, the speakers do not hiss even driven by tube (valve) amplification, a very deep sound stage. It is just very, very nice.
Now my perfect speaker has a number of flaws and was designed by Danny Richie about 7 or 8 years ago. It was the mighty Alpha LSs. Somewhat grainy? Yes! Somewhat unrefined? Yes! Able to make the music flow with body and slam? Yes! "It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll !!!"
