D is much better than C.

H & H2 is better than G & G2.
With H & H2 I hear more of what's going on in the music and all the different instrumental fills has more purpose.

I pick B. It's more lively and tuneful.

"And a Super Boazu!" Hear, hear!

It would be neat if the discoveries that came from making the TM3 could trickle-down in the form of an upgrade to the Boazu.

I know this isn't about voting and such but G & G2 is better than F & F2. It's more music and also sounds cleaner :)

2 is obviously the best. It sounds bigger and better, and every piece of music is more tuneful and involving.
Also. Thanks for playing my song request Riding with the King.
I forgot to check for best sounding version on Spotify but the one you picked sounded very good.

It's disappointing but maybe they'll post the music in a separate video.
I have some thoughts about the presentation though and how it could've come from basically any high end manufacturer.
The long list of buzz words and then almost nothing is mentioned about the musicality of the loudspeaker.

ABSOLUTE SOUND just posted this video, "Linn Unveils NEW Loudspeaker | Michael Fremer Reports"
It's a presentation/sales pitch by Linn about the new 360 speaker: https://youtu.be/s6rlA_mYDpg

Here's more room 1415 impressions, this time from the YT channel Playback Mansion: https://youtu.be/fHC6pGTNSJU?t=1484 ------------------------------------------------------ Sorry, I can't find the video right now but another guy from a different YT channel praised the room as well. Saying he really...

Please play "Riding With The King" by John Hiatt.
I've liked the song since I was a kid and it should sound pretty good on your system.

I got an idea. Maybe it's time to bring back the Silver interconnects and see what happens? I know you prefer the Linn Black but when listening to them in my own system they sound almost skewed. Like if the high frequencies arrives earlier than the rest. Resulting in a quick and lean presentation. I...

..and here we go again

C vs D: This was really difficult! D sounds relaxed and got a tuneful bass, still I probably pick C for it's pace and energy.
C2 vs D2: Here I pick C2. D2 sounded a bit too slow for my taste.

It sounds great and the audience is definitely having a great time!
With how awesome it is I'm surprised the room hasn't gotten any coverage by YouTubers yet. I just want to witness when their minds are blown. :)

Out of the three, C is best on both songs. Time to go back to the drawing board eh? ;)
Well, first let's hear what everyone else has to say.

..Very interesting results with me as the only one to prefer A in both cases. By the way I still stand by my choices.
How does it sound in room and what do you prefer Beck?

I prefer A2. It keeps me interested the whole way through. B2 didn't.

I prefer A.
Edit: To clarify my choice. Even in the beginning but especially when the song gets going, B just doesn't reach the same heights of rock n' roll. ;)

OMG!
Even through these recorded clips the difference is huge. D is good while C is pure magic!

Here's more glowing remarks about the Hearken Room: https://www.stereophile.com/content/hearken-room-graham-audio-lejonklou-yeti-jean-nantais-aidas-cardas-graham-engineering https://www.enjoythemusic.com/Salon_Audio_Montreal_Audiofest_2023/Part2/page3.htm Quotes from Hearken Audio's FB page: (I hope...

With it looking like a mix between a Magico and a Sonus Faber it doesn't have much of an identity.
I still wish the best for Linn and hoping it sounds really good and becomes a smashing success.

I prefer B.
The difference in volume threw me off at first but in the end B is more emotional so that's my pick.
Edit: By the way, how do you like the 212 so far?

Here's some highlights from the Spotify event: https://youtu.be/K8BUTIOLwHc The theme is video and their plan is to have music videos and "Live events" + Having podcasts with video + Short videos like the ones on TikTok. And helping artists selling merchandise. Nothing too exciting in my opinion. Ho...

It can be speaker related. Some just needs to be played at high volume levels to become engaging. For example. My current speakers, Totem Dreamcatcher, is still fun at low volumes while my old Linn Ninka wasn't. It actually made me skip listening to music late in the evening when it no longer was po...

It reads like a thriller ..Will it get approved or not? In the end it did, and with flying colors!
Congrats to Fredrik and his team!

I prefer A.
B starts out nice but as it goes along I notice it's lacking energy.
