Hi-Fi News Spire review thread.
Hi-Fi News just popped through the post a few hours ago, with a Summit X review. It also has a 60th Anniversary McIntosh C22/MC75 review too (at £15,995 a set - phew!).
Curiously the Summit X scores 85% - 1 less than the Spire did. Also pair matching seems even worse at +/- 4.7 Db. For an explanation of this, please read the link above.
MLs sensitivity rating is also incorrect, but there's no change there, really. They always fib a bit. In reality, it hits 87Db and not the 91 claimed.
The review was by Ken Kessler, and the speaker was awarded Editor's Choice - so the prose concerning the speaker's sonic capability is positive.
