The Part-Time Audiophile guide: Best hi-fi gear of 2017

Charney Audio Companion Mk2 ($5,850-$9,550 a pair, depending on finish/driver options)
Richardson: The pair I auditioned was configured with a single pair of Voxativ AF 2.6 drivers. The cabinets themselves were horn-loaded using a smooth-horn configuration to eliminate diffraction and reflection. The sound of these transducers, powered by Charney’s own hand-built amplifiers, struck me as just right, as in how real music ought to sound. A company to watch.
