As Robert J. Reina writes in his review of the <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com//loudspeakerreviews/500/">JMlab Chorus 706 loudspeaker</A>, "The most exciting development in audio today isn't multichannel surround, single-ended triodes, or $10,000 phono cartridges. It's 'trickle down.'" Find out just what has trickled into the Chorus from the company's highly regarded Utopia line.

NHT Gets EQCalibrated

NHT Gets EQCalibrated

One of the more compelling live demonstrations at last year's 2001 Consumer Electronics Show was in the room at the Alexis Park hosted by Australia's <A HREF="http://www.clarityeq.com">ClarityEQ</A&gt;. As <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/news/10969/">reported last year</A>, using a $350 pair of NHT Super One speakers driven by mass-market consumer gear, the company's PDC-6.6 DSP correction system noticeably improved the midrange tonality and imaging we were hearing each time it was switched into the circuit. This prompted us to give the company the "proof of concept in a hotel room" award for that year.

The most exciting development in audio today isn't multichannel surround, single-ended triodes, or $10,000 phono cartridges. It's "trickle down." I get buzzed when an audio designer known for cutting-edge multikilobuck designs claims to have a product that can produce 80% of the sonic realism of his flagship design at 50% of the cost. I get even more excited when he does it again&mdash;that is, produces a product that produces 64% of his flagship's performance at 25% of the cost. Designers who have successfully trickled-down their flagship technologies abound in all quarters of audiophilia, from electronics (<I>eg</I>, Audio Research, Conrad-Johnson) to speakers (Al&#243;n, ProAc) to cables (MIT).
