Very nice of Stereophile editor John Atkinson to pay us a visit at the Montreal Audiofest on the eve of his retirement as the magazine’s editor. Here is his review of our room…
The other half of the huge room where Steve Silberman gave his Roon presentations was shared by loudspeaker manufacturer Tetra and amplifier/DAC manufacturer EMM Labs. Taking price of place at the front of the system was the DV2 D/A processor ($30,000) that had impressed Jason Victor Serinus in our March 2019 issue, which was connected to two 500W MTRX monoblocks ($85,000/pair). Loudspeakers were the new three-way Tetra 707s ($78,000/pair), which feature a ribbon tweeter, a horn-loaded dome midrange unit, and a 12" woofer. "Hear it the way the musicians intended" declares Tetra's publicity and while I have no idea how Chicago-based singer/songwriter Terry Callier intended his "Cotton Eyed Joe" to sound, both voice and softly strummed acoustic guitar, streamed from Tidal, were reproduced by this system with power, palpability, and presence.
