Hello Teajay, yes I am very happy.
I need to complete "The Dali Megaline Part II" review for Positive Feedback but always seem to have another spanner in the works, keeping me from posting final results.
Not only have I tried the Megalines with half a dozen amps, I was rolling tubes and breaking in a custom built crossover at the same time and tweaking room position and crossover adjustments.
The crossover is an absolute wonder, literally transformed the speakers. I hate to say it, but I might have considered selling the Megaline if the original crossover had been the only way I auditioned them (in spite of the rave review by Robert Greene).
I currently have two pair of VTL 750's and initial impression is that matched amps are the way to go, just as Dali suggested from the beginning.
My issue was resolving the agony of buying a second pair of VTL 750's for the ribbon drivers.
In the end, it was the tonal character and equipment matching that proved more valuable than power and since power WAS a requirement for the 24 woofers, the VTL 750 became a necessity for the ribbons as well.
I have all new cable coming from Purist Audio, supposed to ship this Wed or Thursday. This is a new line not announced to the public and a tremendous break though according to Jim Aud.
My Koetsu Jade Platinum is supposed to ship in the next day or two and I have NOS tubes ordered for the four VTL 750's. I guess like every audiophile I am trying to get the system to perfection before reporting on it.
This time it's been very difficult, having come from owning Sound-Labs for over fifteen years and doing every mod and tweak known to man, then trying to get a totally new design to 100%, in little more than a year.
I must be doing something right, at our last Tuesday night meeting two of my regular guys had just returned from RMAF (as well as myself), and commented that nothing playing there could even hold a candle to were I am with the system right now.
Still, I am absolutely certain that I can get another 30% to 50% improvement in the next six months, but will likely post a final review prior to maxing out everything.
