SL2 Demo.
Posted by: Tony Lockhart on 17 May 2002
Well, first of all a big thank you to all at The Audiofile in Bishops Stortford and to Paul Darwin for their time and hospitality. Lots of tea, not too much chat, and lots of varied music.
The SL2 is to my mind a very attractive speaker. Even in my prefered black-ash that the demo models were in, most present commented positively. The curved front shrinks them most effectively.
As to the sound, well, maybe with my system I'm easily impressed, but they were everything I hoped they'd be and the difference between £2000 (Allaes) and £5000 suddenly became unimportant...I wanted them. The music flowed wonderfully, the drums kicked when given a bootful and high hats shimmered very realistically. I don't want to sound like a rag mag journo, so I'll stop here!
The short of it for me is I can't afford them, but the Allaes are looking ever closer.
Once again, thanks to all, and enjoy that beer tonight, Paul!
