“Wonderful loudspeakers that deserve to be front and centre of a two-channel system. These are mini speakers with a massive sound and which represent something unusual in audio – genuine value for money.”
From the PMA vault, this article was initially published in August 2022 and is worth revisiting. One of my favourite and most memorable listening experiences this year was of the state-of-the-art Dayton Wright Hommage (French for Homage) loudspeaker, a cutting-edge re-imagining and redesign of the Dayton Wright XG-10 of yore.

“I believe we’re living in a golden age of digital, where the differences between digital and analogue playback are becoming vanishingly low.”
“Not only is this double-LP compilation outstanding in sound, it is also excellent musically and performance-wise—surprisingly so, perhaps, given the poor history of audiophile-oriented releases.”
“When I discover a component priced well under four figures that performs well, that excites me. Those are the kinds of products that raise the bar for everyone.”
Prices listed in CA$ unless otherwise note. When I first heard Audio Physic speakers (the Classic 15) at Audio Element in Pasadena, California, I was immediately impressed. They were featured in PMA Magazine’s “Best Audio Systems For $10,000” series. I couldn’t believe that speakers costing less than US$ 5000/pair could sound so accomplished or have…

Hi, my name is Claude and I’m a… disco addict. There I said it. Now that wasn’t so awful after all. Truth be told, I never shied away from admitting my lifelong disco dependency to strangers. I was always an unabashed member of the disco brigade, but from what I’ve gathered from friends and acquaintances,…
“Don’t lose sight of what’s most important,” he said. “The music.”
“Some of the best values pass unnoticed. This series—Steven Stone’s Super Budget Components—will be an attempt to remedy that a bit.”
Hi, my name is Pierre and I’m a compulsive record collector… That’s probably how I’d introduce myself if I belonged to a support group for hard-core record collectors. But fear not, my condition isn’t painful—it brings me immense joy, and I’m eager to share my passion for classical music in the pages of PMA Magazine.…
Ed Stone of Executive Stereo has led an interesting life, particularly from an audio perspective. Let’s start with that name—Ed Stone. It sounds rock ‘n’ roll verging on bad-ass, like a made-up rock star alias. Except it isn’t, as Ed confirmed with me during our interview over the phone, in which he jokingly added, “At…
