Post Subject: In interesting new company in Munich: Jo Sound.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 5/19/2018
Looking at what was presented in Munich High End 2018 I found
one company that picked my interest. It is Jo Sound. I think they are in UK.
There are two comments the I would like to make. The
demonstrated B3 loudspeaker that I find is spectacular. Nope I do not have a lobotomy
and I still feel that any acoustic system that is based upon an 8” yellow driver
if it crossed under 400Hs is a garbage suited to play only sound no more complex
than of monkey squirrelling and only no louder than 90dB. From this perspective
the new Jo Sound’s B3 loudspeaker should be garbage as well and it is undoubtably
is. Still. If you are in the single driver camp and the sound of “a little girl
with banjo” is all the you can get from music and then the B3 loudspeaker, in
my mind, a perfect illustration how the things should be done. It is very intelligently
made. It is very attractive and overwalk it might be a very product. Again, if
you can stand this sound
Another interesting aspect is the Jo Sound ‘s R.M. re-mastering
technology
Generally, those algorithms of improving, prediction and extrapolation
at digital level are very bad. They do improve sound but destroy more important
parts of music fabric. I do not know what Jo Sound does with it and I do want
to hear it on my own. It is a bit sad that Jo Sound run in single-driver parallel
universe, that in my mind does says something about the Jo Sound’s hears and
heads but I would not automatically dismiss it.
