Nola Metro Grand Reference Loudspeaker

Jim Hannon has posted a review of the Nola Metro Grand Reference loudspeakers ($25,000/pair) at AVGuide. His conclusions:

“With the Nola Metro Grand Reference, master loudspeaker designer Carl Marchisotto has successfully created a loudspeaker with much of the performance of his impressive Baby Grand Reference loudspeaker in a smaller package that should be at home in smaller listening environments. The Metro Grand offers a tremendous sense of spaciousness, air, and naturalness, and has an uncanny ability to transport you to the concert hall. This fine loudspeaker, which could be called a baby “Baby Grand Reference,” produces beautifully lifelike, dynamic sound, and does a wide range of music very well—from small-scale works to large ones in all musical genres. It should definitely be on your short-list. Like the Dahlquist DQ-10, Nola’s Metro Grand Reference may one day become a classic.”
