Reviews and interviews
JMF Audio on the cover of The Absolute Sound, USA, as an introduction to a review of the HQS 7001 amplifiers and PRS 1.5 pre-amplifier by senior reviewer Jonathan Valin. We are honored.
Extracts: “The amplifiers faithfully reflect differences in miking, mixing and performance style…” “Their presentations have lifelike fullness of color, three-dimensional body and dynamics expressiveness from the softest passages to the loudest ones…” “It happens to be a sound I am crazy about…” “Vive la France!”
This issue of The Absolute Sound will be available to visitors at AXPONA and will still be in stores during the MUNICH exhibitions.
