First full review of the Verdant Blackthorns in Enjoy the Music


So....I am pretty excited.  Verdant just received it's first review of the Blackthorns, our flagship speaker and I am pretty excited.  It is rare to have someone say such nice things about something you created so I thought I would share with you guys as this is pretty exciting for me.

The Shoestring Audiophile (who is a great guy and has a great BLOG for value oriented consumers) reviewed my Nightshades more than a year ago but this is sort of next level as it is in one of the more noteworthy publications and Michael is a Music Professor.   Hope you guys enjoy.

congrats scott... am sure you are feeling great as the proud papa 

👍👍👍
upon reading and re-reading this review scott, the only comment i would make is that this one, like too many others, as well written as they are, do not compare the review subject with other likely competing ones that a potential buyer may consider...

to me, i always get a better understanding of how something new on market sounds when it is compared to others, one or more of which i may have personally owned or heard, and thus can better place the new kid on the block ’on the sonic spectrum’, so to speak

perhaps you would, when you have time to do so, give readers here a sense of what your objectives were in designing this flagship monitor, and how it may compare, as you voiced it, to other well known higher dollar standmounts, say

-- focal kanta 1
-- proac k1
-- wilson tt
-- sonus faber electa am 3
-- lesser priced but excellent monitors from atc, harbeth, salk, fritz and so on
excellent reply scott

thank you and good luck on the launch of your flagship product!

next time i get the itch to try a new speaker .... :)
