Modded equipment, cables etc.... yes min--s we have talked. I know who you are.
The usual suspects: S1, Cirrus, Tempesta, MMM1
Getting back into audio and starting to make the audition/research list... Speakers are always the toughest, especially with the internet brands that have no presence here.
Anyway, here is the current list. I'd love to hear from people who have actually heard these in comparable setups:
1. Magico S1 - yes, it is new. it is also hot. Also too much $$$
2. Vapor Cirrus - tons of good press, but is it just the current audiophile flavor du jour (much like Joseph and Devore before them)
3. Selah Tempesta - seems similar to the Vapor but with lesser cabinet?
4. Evo Acoustics MMM1 - lots of hype on this one being generated by the company - worth it?
I've had Soliliquy's a long time ago. Energy's of various sorts that never did anything for me. ProAc Tablettes I loved (but many, many years ago so rose-tinted glasses now), and a variety of other speakers here and there...

If anyone is looking into the Cirrus I would caution you from ordering them with Vapor's stands. The column piece that holds the 60lb or so speaker is only glued to the base via a butt joint. Both of my stands that were shipped in separate boxes were both broken on arrival and they broke right where these two pieces glue together. Here is a pic of the two pieces. http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?action=gallery;area=browse;image=74012;size=large |
Milpai, I thought Vapor was the topic. At least that is how I interpreted the original post. I see Tnagpal throwing stones at these other brands and praising Vapor on a little press they are recieving. Tons of press is laughable however! My view is a little tainted but Apdoc2004 pretty much caught it as laughable by lumping Joseph and Devore with Vapor Audio. |
