Our very own Martin Colloms has penned a superb account of the Thrax Sirens bookshelf loudspeakers which have made such a big hit here in the last 6 months and were the subject of one of my most recent 2024 Suggested Systems. The review was for Stereophile and is an exhaustive one with some great listening impressions using examples. “Once fully planted, the Sirens sounded exceptionally natural and were consistent with respect to timbre and voice, which changed very little with either loudness or program density/complexity—a highly valued behavior consonant with low inherent distortion.” [...]
