The ‘Total Immersion’ Room – 432 Evo & Conquistar

There was a lot of tech going on in this room, with the Belgian 432 Evo Master Server, SOtM, Vitus Audio amp and Metrum DAC, but when you sat down and listened it just wasn’t about the gear or the tech at all, just all about the music.  Seriously, this was stunning. Total immersion in the music a beautiful, detailed and enveloping experience. That is surely what Hifi should be about. The speakers were very interesting to me as I love a ribbon tweeter, they were from Conquistar of Antwerp, a hybrid with ribbon tweeters and two full range drivers, which you could have in a wide variety of finishes, starting from 15,000€. The whole of the system was perfectly matched and the end result undeniable.

This was a very, very nice sounding room that just oozed high-end sound with a really three-dimensional and immersive presentation that simply drew you into the musical performance. What I really was bowled over by was the sheer amount of detail that was being presented by this system, but never once did I feel I was being overwhelmed. Often detail can come across as an over-emphasised top-end but this system just presented the music beautifully – and isn’t that what you want in a system?
