Sublime sound, whether with my AKG 702 headphones, my IEMs (balanced connection), or my PrimaLuna tube amp and Highland Audio Oran floorstanders. […]. The sound from this FiiO, whether on mSD or Tidal, is just fabulous. The interface is hyper-fluid, with settings galore. The screen is gigantic and allows you to navigate perfectly through menus, albums and playlists, without slowing down.

LG CineBeam Q projector

LG CineBeam Q
The LG CineBeam Q projector (HU710PB) is a compact, portable 4K model capable of delivering an image up to 120″ with vivid colors.
  • RGB laser lamp (20,000h lifespan)
  • Big 4K UHD picture
  • HDR10, HLG compatible
  • HDMI 2.1 and USB-C ports
  • WebOS Smart TV interface
  • Price: €890

The design of the projector is top-notch and cute, the 37 dB when it’s on are not too noticeable (50cm) and as soon as the sound arrives, it’s quickly forgotten. I watch my films in the dark, with it positioned to the left of the screen outside the frame. The Keystone settings and sharpness are brilliant, and I’m amazed at how sharp the image remains, with the projector positioned off-center from the screen.

This pair of Planet M in its Saturn Dust version is absolutely gorgeous. How classy! What elegance! The materials and design are sleek, yet meticulous. As for the sound quality, I’m rediscovering that surround actually exists! I’m not a purist, so yes of course there’s always better and more expensive options, but this product is good, and to my ears, it does an extraordinary job!!!!

Klipsch Reference R-12SW subwoofer

Klipsch Reference R-12SW: 3/4 right
The Klipsch Reference R-12SW is a 200W bass-reflex subwoofer offering powerful, immersive bass down to 29Hz.
  • Bass-reflex enclosure
  • Very high noise level
  • Frequency response from 29Hz to 120Hz
  • 12″ driver with IMG technology
  • Digital amplifier
  • Price: €299

The results were excellent with the subwoofer, especially in the very low frequencies between 29 and 45Hz, as I limited the variable crossover frequency to around 45Hz so that the speakers would take over above that, and set the power at 3/11 of the potentiometer (after various tests).

Sennheiser IE 600 in-ear monitors

Sennheiser IE 600
The Sennheiser IE 600 in-ear monitors deliver precise, detailed sound, thanks to their TrueResponse transducers and 3D-printed AMLOY-ZR01 metal design.
  • 7mm TrueResponse dynamic transducers
  • Hi-Res certified

I’ve now put them through well over fifty hours of use, and I’m happy to wear them every day at the office. Admittedly, the bass still lacks a little of the fullness of a real pair of HiFi headphones or speakers, but even for classical music, the reproduction quality is good.
