“At RMAF Aurender used the Larsen Model 8 Ortho-Acoustic loudspeakers. These speakers are really nice for audio shows in that the off-axis sound is nearly identical to that of the sweet spot. Plus, when someone walks in front of the loudspeaker, one hardly notices a change in the sound. Anyone who has visited an audio show knows there can be serious issues in a small crowded room and these loudspeakers are a great solution. I really liked what I heard in the Aurender room and experienced my favorite moment of the entire show in this room… As soon as JP hit play I new this couldn’t be topped at RMAF 2015. I was not going to hear anything I liked more than this during the entire show.”

“A final nod of approval goes to Aurender’s choice of loudspeakers and their decision to buck prevailing RMAF practice and fire ’em across the width of the room: Sweden’s Larsen Model 8 proved just right for the hotel room’s less well compliant acoustics. Marvellous.”

“the very interesting Larsen 8 speakers ($6,995) that are meant to be placed smack up against the wall so they use those otherwise problematic planes to send the music around your room, more or less. The takeaway for the Larsen speakers: the room is the sweet spot.”

“I quite enjoyed my brief time in the Audio Skies/Aurender room. As I recall, it was pretty full, and there was no way to take more than a brief listen. Anchored by the Aurender N10 Caching Network Music Player with 4TB storage ($7,999), the system included Larsen’s Model 8 Ortho-Acoustic loudspeakers ($6995/pair)”
