Abscissa jubilee full#
To my ears, had the Spendor BC-1 evolved in a straight line rather than thinning out its heritage into the Classic line, it would have turned into a Reynaud.Īgain, for more detail and a look at the full JMR line, go to the manufacturer’s website. In contrast to the vivid kind of clarity that distinguishes some of the most popular contemporary ‘for a clear day you can hear forever’ speakers, Reynauds offer a natural but also spirited and energetic version of transparency, resulting in a physical immediacy that can take your breath away. No speaker I have heard does as well at getting the elemental emotional feel of a live musical performance into our living room, which is their designer’s express goal. The arrival at Reynaud was both satisfying and definitive. My zig-zag to Reynaud began with Kefs, proceeded to Meridian M-2 actives, Linn Saras and DMS Isobariks, B&W Matrix speakers, Spendors (BC1’s and 1/2’s), and on to Harbeths. Listening to them, I can’t help but feel that many other designers are afraid of the real sounds of instruments! Do not fear the truth! The new Blisses, Euterpes, Cantabiles, Abscissas and Voce Grandes are especially striking in this regard. There is also, especially with the latest generation of Reynaud Jubilees, greater transparency and a sense of spatial magic. They pursue the natural warmth, body, and physical immediacy that give many listeners their chief emotional charge from music.
JM Reynaud speakers are the most congenial, least confined, least repressed speakers I know of.
Jean Claude Reynaud and the late Jean Marie Reynaud. I should always, I should think, be aware of a certain sense of confinement in England, and repression. Perhaps I admire the English more in some ways but find the French more congenial. On the one hand I like the English very much, and on the other hand I don’t think that I should ever feel at home in England, as I do for instance in France.
