The USB input, which supports up to 24 bit/96 kHz, gives you a solid digital connection to your PC without the need for an external DAC. We locate Joni Mitchell’s River, another FLAC file, but this time we listen through Grado’s SR125 headphones plugged into the master speaker. It has been more than 20 years since I did music production for a living, and almost a decade since my last project. Don’t expect it to drive electrostatic or planar headphones but tested using my PSB M4U-4 and Grado SR-60e headphones, the headphone amp yields a very satisfactory result. I come to this song quite often because, in my opinion, if the low end notes are there, the whole song is pretty much ruined.

The speakers aren’t enormous, a little taller but also slimmer than the YU6 granting a more elegant form.

The 28x35mm AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter and minimalist, 13cm aluminium woofer give the speakers a clean look, even though it's a little plastic-heavy. Their rectangular shape limits vertical dispersion so that less audio is reflected off the ceiling and floor, while still maintaining a relatively wide horizontal dispersion. At the end of the time I was reviewing them, I plugged in my headphones just to use them as a headphone only amplifier. I listened to Ernest Ansermet and the Swiss Romande Orchestra’s recording of De Falla’s The Three-Cornered Hat (16/44. In all it was a terrible experience from a company that has poor quality control and terrible costumer service, I sent mine back for a refund and wished I never bought em.

The integrated preamp eliminates the need for this, allowing you to plug your turntables directly into the speakers. The TUK is jam-packed with connections, featuring everything you could possibly need to enjoy your music from your chosen medium.And while we’re sure that seeing the Northern Lights is a five-star experience, the TUKs cannot replicate that with a thrilling, five-star listen. We hook up our laptop with the supplied cable and select Hans Zimmer’s Main Theme from The Dark Knight Rises – a FLAC file from the hi-res music on our server. Despite receiving the speakers and stands free of cost, I will attempt to be as objective as possible in my evaluation.

There is a very airy saxophone, and you can really get the sense of space that it takes up in the recording. headphone output on the front of TUK allowing you to use headphones with any audio source connected to the speaker. While you can try to play around with your subwoofer’s own crossover, after testing using LFE input (i. Opening up with octave riffs reminiscent of Wes Montgomery, and then ascending into his own unique signature sound of soaring runs that fall somewhere between Joe Satriani and George Benson in style and tone; "Manhattan" is a great roller coaster ride of tone and technique. If you like to use banana plugs, these can use those as well, since they’ve got 5 way binding posts, which are actually pretty nice.This delivers exceptional sound reproduction, ideal for vinyl lovers who want to capture every nuance from their record collection. Engineered to deliver superior acoustics, these speakers provide an unrivaled listening experience, be it for music, movies, or games. With extensive experience as an OEM, they’ve made a name for themselves with their refined products that uphold strong value for the consumer.

The automatic 80Hz roll off that occurs when mated to the SUB8 allows the system to work as a single unit, and balances the presentation nicely. I use the TUK’s alongside a projector necessitating a dark room where bright front-facing LEDs can be quite obnoxious. TUK also use Aluminum drivers which are incredibly rigid, making them less prone to deformation when pushed to their limit. Overly large and artificial sound stage, vocals too far forward, too heavy on the bottom end, etc, etc. Immerse yourself in the stunningly lifelike audio these speakers offer, and enjoy sound the way it was meant to be heard.Similarly, the output impedance is very low as they did not skew the signature of the low-impedance CFA Andromeda notably compared to the 1-ohm THX amp. Recorded at the Crescendo Club in 1961 and 1962, it contains a very bouncy, committed performance of George and Ira Gershwin’s “Nice Work If You Can Get It. Little Russian,” has a grand, majestic opening, with blockish chords for full orchestra punctuated by fortissimo timpani. Even in high traffic areas with children or pets, you can feel confident your speakers aren’t going to get damaged or end up on the floor.
