But it’s more than a numbers game for David Vivian at the-ear.net. He notes that “genuine extension, visceral slam and thrills are all within its compass but never hyped for effect…the Triple Eight delivers it all, body and soul, sounding as fast and precise with glinting, quicksilver leading edge virtuosity as it is faithful to the rich, deep textures of serious twang…the sense of space and deft textural shading, along with the finely graded palette of tonal colours and the sumptuous, deep supple bass contribute to a zero fatigue yet utterly addictive listening experience.”
