The PBN Audio And Quintessence Acoustics Room

Quintessence Acoustics debuted their huge new Shadow V loudspeakers ($35,000/pair) with PBN components. The power amplifiers were PBN EBSA1 monoblocks ($30,000/pair), fronted by an Olympia-L preamplifier ($12,000). The sources were all analog: a PBN Groovemaster turntable ($7500 without arm) and a pair of Tascam reel-to-reel tape decks restored by United Home Audio.
