		<description><![CDATA["A confession: I’ve always preferred full-range speakers," writes Peter D'Amario in his review of the Vienna Acoustics Haydn. He explores the realities of real-sizing with these small monitor louspeakers, and concludes: "Buy some stands, ensure that you have adequate amplification, and you will find that these are speakers with which you can live happily ever after."

		<description><![CDATA["The last two pairs of speakers that I reviewed are tube-friendly designs. So tube-friendly, in fact, that their designers would go so far as to suggest that it be preferable to drive their speakers with just one, solitary tube per speaker." Thad Aerts goes in search of more "oomph" than SET, and discovers the Eastern Electric M88 integrated amplifier.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["I was first intrigued with this album because of its cover, images of an abandoned sci-fi pod-style housing project in northern San-Zhr," writes Walker Burns of M. Ostermeier's most recent album. "It sounds as if one is exploring the environs of what is depicted on the album’s cover... this is music-on-the-edges of consciousness or the fringe of a dream."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Patrick Dillon explores the concept of doing a complete system rewire with cables from a single manufacturer. "The theory, if we may call it such, is that the true benefit of cable changes are found when one employs the same manufacturer’s cables for the complete rig rather than cherry picking different cables for different components." The results? Read on...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John Reekie measures the effect of dipole subwoofer placement with respect to listener and wall distance. While he had earlier obtained good results with nearby placement of a diple subwoofer, he asks "Can these results be generalized into a recommendation for others to try?" This series of measurements suggests that they can.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After encountering the Harbeth P3ESRs at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, Patrick Dillon had to hear them again on his home turf. Here he takes a pair through their paces. "There is something ineffably right about these speakers... If someone told me now that I had $2k to spend on speakers and I would have to live with my choice for years without chance of exchange, I’d buy these Harbeths on the spot."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["In the world of high-end audio, ‘computer audio’ is now almost as common as a CD player. Software applications that bypass a computer’s native OS audio process and provide their own method of processing an audio file are referred to as <i>music players</i>." Sonic Studio's Amarra was one of the first such players on the market. Joe Quinn reviews Amarra 2.3.

		<description><![CDATA[In our listening rooms reflected sounds – sounds that bounce off walls and other objects – are more often louder than the direct sound from our loudspeakers. Nyal Mellor and Jeff Hedback explain how reflections affect our perception of sound, and how the Energy-Time Curve (ETC) can be used to assess the nature of reflections in a given listening room.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["This review has been a long, long, long time in the making," writes Thad Aerts of this review of the Sonist Concerto 3 loudspeaker. While designed for use with single-ended triode (SET) amplifiers, Thad exercises it with the AMC hybrid push-pull amplifier. "They have the ability to seduce you away from what you are doing and get you to sit down in front of them to listen to music."]]></description>
