This week, we dive into something quieter, more introspective, Dust by Iris Hond, from her album Dust Awakened By Dawn. It's a piece built on subtle movement and space, where each piano note seems to rise, hover, and dissolve into silence. It’s not just music, it’s a mood, and it needs the right system to breathe.
The MBL 101 E MKII Radialstrahler speakers are almost tailor-made for this. Their omnidirectional design spreads sound evenly through the room, not in a beam but like ripples in water. That gives Dust a natural, almost three-dimensional feel. Notes don’t just reach your ears; they surround you.
Matched with the MBL 6010 D preamp, the dynamics stay honest and delicate. Nothing is pushed or coloured. You hear each keystroke's full decay, the air's gentle tension, and the quiet in between. That silence, rendered so clearly, is part of what makes this track land.
And with the Linn Selekt DSM Classic Hub handling the digital side, you get a smooth, clean delivery that stays out of the way, just letting the music unfold as it was meant to. Dust is a piece that rewards stillness. And on this system, it doesn’t ask for your attention; it earns it.
