Just ordered Line Magnetic 755 Field Coil Speakers & Amp.
Last weekend, I had a 6 hours extensive audition at ARN Systems, Bangalore.
The Line Magnetic 755 Field Coil Speakers are a field coil remake of the revered Western Electric 755A. They have a cult following and a recent Stereophile article rated some experts as saying that this is the best wide band driver ever made!!
The speakers had only about an hour on them when I went in to audition them in the morning and they drew me in to the music every single time I changed tracks and sat down for a listen.
I don't know what Field Coil Speakers are doing to let things sound as real as they do but it's a great execution!.
I consider LM one of the best intimate loud speakers I have ever heard in my short journey. Very coherent, nuanced and musical from top to bottom.
By the end of the day, the few hours of play time changed the speaker phenomenally. I initially missed the low and high that I was used to, but by the end of the session, it was all there.
Sorry, I can't be too comprehensive now as the audition was on just-out-of-the-box speakers and amps, and the musical involvement was so high that I could not register individual aspects of sound like scale, imaging & sound stage.
I have listened to Line Magnetic 755 speakers on different amps from Line Magnetic itself as well as Leben CS 600. I listened to various different genres of music (except Western classical).
I have shortlisted Line Magnetic 219 IA 845 SET Dual Mono amp & LM 210 IA 300B amp and I plan to choose one of them.
Apart from the audition, I got an opportunity to meet our FM Square wave and enjoy music for few hours.
I will post my comprehensive views after couple of months of listening.
