Chapman Audio T8 MkII Loudspeakers

Dave Clark has posted a review of the Chapman Audio T8 MkII loudspeakers ($9995/pair) at Positive Feedback. His conclusions:

“Now, trying to pick apart the midrange and treble is rather a moot point – just too seamless with nary a hint of anything (as I have mentioned prior) to make one say that it is either too much of that or not enough of this. The T8s are not bright, or recessed, are not shouty, nor are they subdued and shy… though I would suggest compared to my Tetons that they do tend to fall more to the richer side than the leaner side of things. In the Liberty review I felt them to be more of the yang to the Teton’s yin. With the T8s, they are perhaps more yingier than my Teton’s ying. Think of the Tetons being at 12 o’clock on the dial of what I like (clean and a touch mean), the Liberty’s at like 1 o’clock (even cleaner and a might meaner), and the T8s at like 11 o’clock (clean and not mean at all). They are not forgiving and they will let you know if anything is amiss either with your setup or what is in the grooves. That they do. They are just a lot nicer about how they do it. Pretty much like Stuart, who might disagree with what you think, and in being honest about how he feels, he does it in a way that is oh-so-agreeable and polite. No need to be insulting or condescending… just like the T8s!”
