As further evidence of the SQ-N150’s transparent presentation of components both up- and downstream, I played Makoto Aruga and Percussion Ensemble’s Digital Percussion: Toccata for Percussion (LP, Seven Seas K28C-165), an album of outstanding dynamic range and percussive color. Snare drum press rolls, concert tom figures, and timpani solos were recreated with dazzling dynamics through the SQ-N150, from ppp to fff. The Luxman/Forte III combination recreated both the rhythmic fireworks and the subtler charms of this import LP as well as I’ve heard them.
