Rivals offer more subtle detail and heft
Our Award winner for four years, the Atacama Equinox is stable and easy to build.
On it, our reference hi-fi kit produces a wide and fast sound that features a smooth midrange and responsive bass with a brilliantly lit treble, while detailing is handled well.
However, it's now met its match: rivals such as the Hi-Fi Racks Podium and Quadraspire Q4 are capable of offering both more subtle detail and heft.
