The Neoteric Listener – The Nola Boxer S3 Bookshelf Loudspeakers

By Dean Seislove| 2019-09-01T22:35:36+00:00 September 1st, 2019|Categories: Positive Feedback|Tags: Hardware Reviews, Loudspeakers|

In 2010, I declared, “If you’re looking for a pair of standmount monitor speakers and you have about $1500 to spend, buy the Nola Boxers.” The quality of sound at that price made the recommendation a cinch. Many other reviewers and audiophiles reacted with the same enthusiasm, so it’s not a surprise that Nola continues to offer the Boxer as the entry into their prestigious line of loudspeakers. Moreover, the entire Contender series offers a sampling of the high end at a reasonable cost.… Read the full article

Outlaw Audio BLSv2 Bookshelf and LCRv2 Loudspeaker Review

By Audioholics Reviews and News from Audioholics| 2018-10-16T16:00:00+00:00 October 16th, 2018|Categories: Audioholics|Tags: Bookshelf Speaker Reviews|

BLSv2 and LCRv2 Speaker Introduction

Outlaw Audio is most well-known for their audio electronics and subwoofers, but about 10 years ago they tried their hand at loudspeakers with successful results. The original BLS Bookshelf Loudspeaker and LCR Loudspeaker were met with acclaim and sold well, but their manufacturing source was closed down after being bought out by a private equity firm. Outlaw did not immediately follow up the BLS or LCR with a successor speaker, since there were few domestic manufacturers that could meet Outlaw’s criteria for a loudspeaker that they would be willing to sell.… Read the full article

Retro sound with JBL’s L100 Classic loudspeaker

By Phil Wright| 2019-09-08T07:47:22+00:00 September 8th, 2019|Categories: DAR|Tags: jbl l100 classic, Loudspeakers, Reviews|

Still retro in looks, the JBL L100 Classic’s heritage snakes back to 1970. Its role in those Maxell TV ads (here & here) lives on. “Night on a Bare Mountain”, the music used in the UK spot, was first to sound forth for this review. “Ride of the Valkyries” was used for the US version. Both are good markers for the revised JBL’s sound: big & bold.

The original L100 was JBL’s biggest seller of all time. The L100 Classic is that loudspeaker reinterpreted for the 21st Century.… Read the full article

By Jacob Green| 2019-09-07T06:00:00+00:00 September 7th, 2019|Categories: Audioholics|Tags: Tower Speaker Reviews|

One of the most exciting new product introductions to come out of this year’s Rocky Mountain Audio Fest is Polk Audio’s new flagship Legend Series loudspeakers, which Polk describes as “the most sophisticated and intensively engineered loudspeakers the company has ever introduced.” Polk’s engineers have designed these new speakers from the ground up, developing a number of new technologies along the way. The tweeter, mid-bass driver, woofers, bass port, cabinet design, and crossover network have all been improved compared to those found in previous Polk designs, and the line’s flagship floor-stander includes a unique “stereo dimensional array” — but more on that later.

Understanding Loudspeaker Review Measurements Part II

Frequency Response Waterfall Plots

One way that Audioholics have presented on-axis and off-axis frequency responses in our loudspeaker reviews are through waterfall plots.

Wikipedia defines a waterfall plot as:

“a three-dimensional plot in which multiple curves of data, typically spectra, are displayed simultaneously. Typically the curves are staggered both across the screen and vertically, with ‘nearer’ curves masking the ones behind.”

This is a great way to show the frequency responses over the entirety of an axis because so much information can be conveyed in such an intuitive way.
