Speakers:

My speakers are Bang and Olufsen (B&O) RL140 ($1100 a pair). They are concave shaped speakers with no parallel surfaces to muddy the sound. The sensitivity of the speakers is 87 dB/w/m. These are now superseded by B&O 7000 series with a sensitivity of 93dB/w/m. Speakers related to this series are the 6000 (smaller version of 7000) and 8000 (same as 7000, but active - i.e., it has an built in amp).

Remembering that power doubles every 3 dB (200 watts is 3 dB louder than 100 watts), a 93 dB/w/m sensitivity speaker is going to be driven effortlessly by smaller wattage amplifiers, thus making it ideal for tube amps.

A word about B&Os. B&O designs are regarded more as a piece of art than performing equipment. For some reason people think that pleasant aesthetics and great sound cannot be found in the same equipment. I beg to differ.

However, I do agree that B&O itself is also responsible for this perception, partly due to their product line and partly due to their advertising strategies.

From their product line, my B&O RL140s (and the current 6000, 7000, 8000 series) are the only speakers that offer both "art" and "performance" . From my point of view, the rest of their product line leaves a lot to be desired with respect to performance.

I was able to dispel the myth of thinking at my dealership that art cannot be blended with performance.

I accomplished this by comparing the B&Os with Thiel speakers. The testing was both blind and direct and the following equipment was used for the setup:

Cal transport, Cal DAC, CJ PV12/Premier11A (and also with Spectral DMA180 and Spectral 20 preamp).

MIT SH750 cables and 330 series interconnects.

We started with Thiel 0.5s and RL140s. Everyone was able to pick up B&Os immediately as a better sounding speaker.

The results were the same with Thiel 1.5s. But when replaced with Thiel 2.2s, the staff could not determine one way or the other. This led to the conclusion that the B&Os and Thiel 2.2s were at par.

However, Thiel 3.6s definitely outperformed the B&Os. But then they cost a whopping $3600.00 as compared to B&O's $1100.00. Even with Thiel 2.2s, B&Os win because 2.2s cost in excess of $2400.00 a pair.

The same steps were repeated in a non-blind fashion with same results.

An equal performance at less than 1/2 the price and together with an "arty" looking design, definitely seems like a better deal. Therefore, I suggest that people should use their ears rather than price-expected-performance perceptions to evaluate equipment.

The soundstaging of B&Os is excellent, and with the MIT cables and the PV12L/Premier11A combination, the sound emerges with uncanny detail and transparency. The speakers are very neutral. With well recorded material, they become invisible, and get replaced by a three-dimensional stage in front where I can accurately pinpoint the instruments and the singer.

Like any other speakers, the positioning of B&Os is important. The RL140 has an optional stand. It also has a built in screw which changes its angle of fire towards the listener. I have found the speakers work best when placed away from the walls. Near the walls, the bass deepens, but its soundstaging gets lost due to wall reflections. Away from the wall, the speakers become invisible after some experimentation with toe-in.

I used Radio Shack's sound pressure level (SPL) meter and Test CD2 (Stereophile) to calibrate the ideal location of B&Os.
