More excellent press for the OePhi Ascendence 2, this time from David Vivian for the ear .
Described as “a £4k superstar without question”, the review praises the Ascendence 2 for its combination of tonal colour, dynamics, low noise floor and musical coherence.
Particularly nice to see recognition of what makes OePhi designs so engaging to listen to, speed and resolution without sacrificing flow, texture or natural musicality.��
The review also highlights the speaker’s expansive soundstage, precise imaging and ability to let notes decay into “inky blackness”, something that becomes immediately apparent when you hear them properly set up.��
A wonderful piece, and thoroughly deserved recognition for a very special loudspeaker - https://the-ear.net/review-hardware/ascendance-2-upsets-oephi-applecart/
