Professional reactions
Release-period reaction · 24 August 2012
At his first LEO show, Hughes was surprised that Metallica’s high-frequency-heavy kick attack did not trigger the HF limiting he expected from a typical system. He felt it would raise engineers’ expectations of loudspeaker performance.
Release-period reaction · 24 August 2012
Featherstone was impressed by how quickly the LEO system came together sonically and by its headroom. He found the new low-frequency elements could keep pace with the main arrays.
