Turning Point Audio SD-X2 Loudspeakers

December 13, 2010

Jack Roberts has posted a review of the Turning Point Audio SD-X2 loudspeakers ($4400/pair) at Dagogo. His some of his observations:

The tonal balance of the Turning Point Audio SD-X2s reminds me of the BBC LS3/5a speakers, and I mean that as a compliment…

Truth is, the SD-X2 sounded nice with most everything I played on them, and that’s true even though they are not the most transparent I have ever heard. Now, don't get me wrong, they are more transparent than most speakers, but they are a little warmer in the mid-bass than the speakers I have been listening to for the last few years…

The SD-X2 has a wonderful midrange, yet falls into neither of the two camps I mentioned above. The midrange is not quite as open or transparent, but is very warm and natural sounding…

The top-end of the SD-X2 was smooth and never too bright or edgy. The bass is where this speaker reminded me most of the BBC LS3/5a speakers. Very listenable, voiced where they sound like they have more bass than they actually produce. I think the only single problem is that this speaker, being a floor stander of some size, leads the listener to expect more bass from it.
