TP first and foremost is a music lover. First
album for this session was by The Who, one of TP's favorite bands. This
was followed by Genesis, and others.
TP's new Living Voice OBX-R2 speakers bring about a
transparency that brings to light previously unheard detail and a deeper sonic
insight into the music, as well as an agility and speed that is essential to
TP's type of music. In comparison to the previous speaker system with a
subwoofer, it was very obvious that a thick veil has been lifted from the music.
Bass is now more tactile and articulate, with micro-dynamic nuances in heavy
mixes revealed.
Of course, the switch to a floorstander resulted in
a bigger scale presentation.
