I am French and audiophile since my 16 years, I am 64, Athom is a very beautiful company of design and manufacture of speakers and loudspeakers, it is not very known abroad and it is really a pity, because their range of loudspeakers is enough to satisfy the very great majority of the audiophiles by offering a real musicality to them on all the styles of music and for budgets really much more accessible than certain marks which have completely delirious prices or the result with the listening is often very disappointing compared to the asking price!
The GT1HDs have a great reputation in France. Combine them with one or two Rafale VR1x or VR2x subwoofers, and you get a huge sound that will literally bury audio systems at stratospheric prices!
It's one of the rare brands that I can recommend buying with my eyes closed!
Very nice shirt Steve !!!
Glad to see some fresh reviews of the Atohm GT line. Very happy with my GT3 HD! Thanks for this!
Thanks for the review Steve. I have the GT 1 (not HD) powered by an Exposure 3010S2D (a brand you would enjoy, no doubt) and a GT 2 HD powered by a Simaudio Moon 600iV2. I really love these speakers.
The speaker is so shiny that I thought I was seeing a cutaway, revealing the inside, when in fact I was seeing the reflection of your acoustic panels!
One of the things I love about this channel is being turned on to great new music. Totally digging this Dawn of Midi album.
Hi Steve - thanks for the review.
I had the original Atohm GT1s from 2014. They were driven by a range of ams. The best was by the Devialet Expert 220 (as it became after upgrades) . The matching system (S.A.M.) between this amp and the GT1s needs to be heard to be believed. Greetings to you and yours.
Today's framing has a very Piet Modrian feel. Well done Audiophiliac.
Thanks for Macy Gray. Playing this on my just finished CSS 1TDX. She's in the room.
It was a great and honest review, Steve. Thanks.
This is one of the most amazing speakers I heard in my life, with a Devialet amp.
Define amazing-The most overused adjective
@@ttrrs_o3498 imo people should just stop praising stuff if they haven't heard 100s of other similar stuff in the hobby...is it better or worse, there's no other way to tell otherwise if everything is rated 100/100 then nothing is 100/100
Hey Steve. Could you please start to include the recordings you used in the video notes? Thanks very much!
Really like your music tips, one mike 2 tracks , reminds me of the punch brothers, the wood brothers and others who have the guts to do it ! Buy a Zoom h4 and listen to your own acoustic recording, you'll learn a lot about your system , thank you for the great reviews from the Netherlands
Great review Steve 👍
I hope you will review the Audiovector r1 arrete standmount speakers
And Audiovector r3&r6 all won speaker of the year
Atohm make great speakers. Used to own the Atohm GT2-HD. :)
Thanks for insights Steve.
Do you believe they would match well with NAD M33? Looking forward to your feedback.
Happy Holidays and all the best for ‘23!
Very nice indeed
i had to check your videos werent showing up i missed you. glad your ok Brother
I love this speakers.
Thanks for mentioning the height of your stands!!!
I can’t help but wonder what these would have sounded like with the Atoll IN100 SE. Ship the Athoms to me and I’ll do a review with the Atoll, then ship them back to Emilios! 😂
The Macy Gray album is on Apple Music @ 24-96
Didn't find "stripped" album by Macy Grey on Tidal, but it has on Spotify.
Tidal has it.
It's on Amazon Prime HD. I'm looking forward to hearing it.
A topic I would love to hear addressed is how does speaker design, and the design of amps enhance soundstage / depth / imaging etc. There must be specific components or layouts that enhance this area of music reproduction.
Simple, use tube amps!
Damn!
That's a massive topic ... There's so much contributing to imaging and soundstage dimensionality.
First, the individual drivers need to possess a non-lossy, nimble responsiveness with good decay characteristics... to allow the smallest recorded details like ambience and trailing edges of notes to be resolved.
Avoid physical cabinet energy from corrupting the drivers output... conversely, avoid the drivers from introducing energy into the cabinet.
Also, the driver's backwave energy must not return and corrupt the driver's primary forward output.
A big issue is diffraction... poor baffle diffraction performance prevents a speaker from "disappearing" in addition to introducing peaks/nulls in the freq response.
Overall freq response needs to be balanced octave to octave.
The drivers need overall alignment and coherence after the wave-launch.
Depending on the room's acoustics, controlled directivity can be beneficial... as well as matching directivity driver-to-driver.
Essentially, compression free, high resolution, coherence, low noise, controlled wavelaunch.
The tricky element is one I rarely see mentioned; lossy characteristic that plagues most all speakers.
It's not distortion in the typical sense, it's omission of the details.
Wow! I had no idea Chesky Records is now on Tidal! Great!
Nice shirt!
French Fi has been coming on strong in recent times.
Agree. Focal makes excellent products.
@@MrSwedjen 🤣
@@alancrane4693
Focal makes junk?
In recent times?! Define "recent"...
French-Fi has been strong for decades. You just didn't know.
Steve any turntable cartridge reviews forthcoming. Best wishes from a zu druid from wales UK.
Steve. Great review as always. I have a question that I wanted to get to you, not about this review, but another issue and i dont know how to get this to you. Q: I am going to NYC in a couple weeks. Can you give a list of “must go” places in NYC for an audio experience? TY TY
In Living Stereo, Innovative Audio, Stereo Exchange, call each for appointment
@@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac nice. i will have to check those out. i am also thinking about the McIntosh Townhouse as an audio experience
Thanx for another great review. Just a question : is the resolution and dynamic listen reminiscent of the Triangle 40th anniversary Comète ?!?
Thanks William, no, I think the GT1’s resolution is ahead of the triangle. Considerably more potent sounding on the bottom end than the triangle.
I think you have to wait a little longer until release of the new Magellan series replacing the current one of 2012.
How do these compare to Canton Steve..?
Pertaining to clarity be carefulWhat you wish for-Just a thought-oh following up on a previous episode wire world power cables do make a difference i’m Impressed
Why didn’t you use your other amps?
Fyne audio F1 series have a similar Tone control knob on the front Very curious how they compare to those.
I was just about to comment about Fyne Audio. The Scottish speaker company not too far away from me in Glasgow.
Supposedly the Fyne Audio speaker's aren't tuned to be fully neutral. Meant to be a bit warm sounding.
Not surprising as some ex Tannoy designer's are with Fyne Audio.
What speaker does Steve recommend for use as a near field monitor?
Elac unifi, Harbeth P3 ESR
After watching your review and reading some reviews online I bought a pair (SE), still awaiting for them to arrive. I've noticed that there are two diferent editions but I'm not quite sure what differs them?
So what do you think of them? I'm also waiting for a pair (SE). Should have them in a few days.
@@robertpeters4423
How do they compare to the Dynaudio Contour 20i’s, being they are similarly priced?
@Robert M I would love to hear other's thoughts as well on this comparison. Anyone!?
Nice speakers. Downfiring ports have greater effect than rear or fwd. love the attenuation knob!
Fyne Audio also use down firing ports to great effect. Fantastic if you need to place speakers close to walls.
@@jimfarrell4635 have a set of the fyne audio F1-8 right against my bedroom it also has a tone control knob on the front and the sound is phenomenal.
Thanks for the info!
@@alancrane4693 Beautiful speakers the F1 range.
Hi Steve, please also check DAVIS ACOUSTICS speakers from France.
I had a pair of Davis Matisse about 15 years ago. Inexpensive, well done and easy to drive speakers. Made in France. Bargain speakers.
I built DIY speakers with Davis drivers and high quality crossover components. Incredible sound quality.
Nikita 3.0 would be really nice. Courbets are well engineered but same time nothing special IMO.
Those look a lot like KLH speaker stands.
What kind of earshot do you have?
Nice ! System of the day
Those go very well with Devialet Expert amps 👍🏻
Hi Steve, you need more light on your face from the left. I see you have a new cam so you can upgrade the light. ;-) Greetings from the Netherlands.
Pretty
some 1980's b&w's had time aligned x-overs
Question - Just picked up a mint set of mint looking JMLab Focal Cobalt 807's for 400 bucks. I like that they have real cherry and I like the original Focal sound from the 90's. Rich and sensitive for acoustic work 91db sensitivity, will be driven by Moon I-5 and Geshelli DAC, question is does USB cable quality matter?
I didn't think so, used cheap but good usb for years, but changed my mind recently after getting Supra USB cable, made in Sweden, very good value.
The loudspeaker cones are made from crushed garlic, red wine and butter. You can taste the music. Vice La France!
Find a music instrument that shares anything in common with this... France seems to have this French food effect where its just seen as high end so you have to do all you can to make them sound as good as a set of speakers designed like music instruments to sounds like music instruments and ultimately sound as holographic as realistic
$ 4000. > IF the product is NOT good you've got a story. for speakers, is it ' bright ' ( KEF, FOCAL ' or mild ( Buchardt ) is just a matter of personal preference, not quality. hopefully the buyer has some idea before purchase.
Resolution + clarity = listener fatigue?
If the recordings are nasty, yeah could lead to listening fatigue. Yeah resolution isn’t always what you want.
Cannot find this album on tidal
Same her. Not on Tidal😔
@@clausolsen856 Strange, it's on my Tidal
@@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac maybe not in Europe then...better by it on vinyl then🙃
It is there. Just switched from Spotify to Tidal. Quality is sooooo much better
I also found it on Apple Music at 24-92!
Great review! thank you. Please inform your audience of your business model, do you get paid for reviews, keep gear, discuss reviews prior to publishing with provider? It would build a little trust, and add meaning to an otherwise "purchased" opinion.
The Buchardt 2nd best
Why ?
Reminds me rather strongly of recent Wharfedale models ...
... uh, apart from the price!
I bet you're going to like this 'speaker' better eventually, Steve! 📎
What a weirdo
Please please please address the camera, just don't get the sudden craze for reviewers to be looking away, I don't feel it works
System of the Day!
Equaliser on a four grand speaker.
I used to listen to Macy Gray Stripped on Deezer, I think it is fantastic and superbly recorded. So I was quite disappointed not to find it on Tidal, which I'm using now. You said the record is now available on Tidal, but I still can't find it. In fact, there are no Chesky albums on Tidal, it's obviously a business decision that makes me think of switching back to Deezer. Also, 90% of my music files consists of classical music, and Tidal has a considerably smaller selection of classical music than Deezer. The only thing that still keeps me on Tidal is maybe slightly higher HiFi quality. Maybe...
Steve can „hear clearly now“ …we only hear him talking ! Not one tone of music… yaaawn!
A proper crossover design doesn’t tolerate a phase problem, that’s nothing special.
podcast to help you improve clarity, lower distortion. Then they speed up your voice Which distorts it and expect us to listen to it!! WTF
Pretty poor value compared to USA speakers, like tekton, zu, spatial and kilpsch to name a few, big drivers wall day!!
Do you mean chinese?
How do you spell that shit ajir amp?
Steve didnt really seem to enjoy these speakers.
Steve does not look well
I would have been here sooner, but....
You really do waste your time commenting nonsense on the channel day after day, what a muppet
@@JohnJohn-lk4lq which one?Gonzo?
there is a mistake on the price !! in France they are sold 2700 euros, the pair
