Thursday evening I received a text from GECO saying that I should come over to listen to the new speakers that he is developing.
I was able to hear two models from the 100 series at Audio Exchange. The FR100 and the FR110 or FR120 (I forget which floor stander it was). That day I preferred the FR100. We were listening to CD?s and used one of the Ming Da amplifiers. Unfortunately I did not take note of which CD player or which one of the Ming Da amplifiers. By way of having better high frequency detail, for me, the FR100 outplayed a pair ELAC stand mounts that are in the same price range. I was able to enjoy the FR100 even after having just listened to a pair of high performance Zingali ZERO bookshelf speakers.
If you?re looking to buy a new pair of speakers in the R4000 range include the FR100 in the list of speakers to demo.
The new series, I understand being called the 200 series, however is another step up.
This is what I walked in to see Friday morning in GECO's listening space.
These speakers are still in the development phase so these are unfinished demo cabinets.
Listening impressions to follow.
