Magnar Åm SONaR

Sonar is yet another reference quality recording from 2L The harp and voices achieve a tonal and palpable realism that is a unique sonic experience For playback you dont need the VAC Phi Beta 110i tube amp to enjoy Sonar but it sure doesnt hurt On the recording end 2L uses DSX technology DPA microphones Millennia Media amplifiers and SPHYNX2 converters to a PYRAMIX work for the audio excellence consistently achieved by the label A word about the compositions separate from the sound quality they develop good weight but lack real depth especially rhythmically and melodically yes I realize the composer is more harmonically focused If any 2L recording could have and should have made use of 71 this is it Strictly from the perspective of the surround mix I cant help but feel it is an opportunity lost for the label but hopefully a 71 mix from 2L will be forthcoming
