Goldmund Mimesis PH3 phono stage-opinion needed
I have been using the Ph3 for a few years. I have no experience with the Tom Evans models. However, compared to the Pass labs and Acoustech phonoamps I had before, the Ph3 sounds cleaner, detailed and very lively. Typical Goldmund sound. 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
I auditioned the Maxx3 with Pass labs X350.5, while the Isis was auditioned with Ayre amps. There was no direct comparison. Having said that, I lived with Pass Labs XA100 driving Kharma 3.2 for over a year and found that was a decent match, though...

Gallant_diva,In my country, Wilson and Avalon are sold by different dealers. 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
Hi Mtdking & Gallant diva,I have bought the Isis, and my amps will be the Karan monoblocks. My question was about what is so special with the Eton nomex/kevlar woofers that some brands like Avalon, Kharma, Adam, etc like to use them. 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
Hi, on a different subject..I have always read that the Eton Nomex/kevlar woofers take a long time to break in. Now that i am breaking in my new Isis, i am experiencing just that. Does anyone know what is so special about this nomex/kevlar woofer ...

Hi CytocycleI am changing amps. The ML2.1's are truly GREAT amps. But not the right match for the Isis. Would be doing injustice to both.alec 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
Hi all,With full respect, both the Maxx 3 and Isis are both GREAT speakers. They cater to different personal preferences.At the end, I went for the Isis for my own taste.Thanks for all your opinions.alec 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
Hi Rob,Yes indeed I have read both articles. Thanks.I auditioned the Isis again yesterday and for fun brought my Lamm ML2.1 SET amps (18w) along. Not surprisingly, the Lamm was insufficient power for complex music. However, when we cranked up the ... 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
I have heard both Maxx3 and Isis in dealer room recently, both driven by SS amps....Goldmund Telos 200 and Pass labs 350.5 for former, and Ayre MX-R for later. With the amps used, Maxx3 had more slam and weight and scale, Isis was more refined and... 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
RobertYou sure have a great set up. And I bet those big tube amps are hot. Have you tried your Isis with SS amps? 
Wilson Maxx3 vs Avalon Isis
From what I read, Maxx3 is more flexible with a wider range of amps...even some SET tube amps will do. Isis is more demanding in this regard. Which SS amps would be a good match? and which tube amps will be a good match, without toasting my room?

MissioncooneryMy kharma is just too small for my new room (17' x 21'). Not enough scale. 
Kharma 3.2.2: which tube amp to use?
Sure Argyro.But i also like to hear some scientific explanation.rgds 
Kharma 3.2.2: which tube amp to use?
Hi all,I have a qn for ML2.1 users out there, and it is about which tap to use. My Kharma 3.2.2 has nominal impedance of 4 ohms. Kharma factory and my Lamm dealer both recommend me to use the 4 ohm tap. However, I found the 8 ohm tap gives me a mo... 
Wilson Audio MAXX series III
Wilson audio says the Maxx 3 is an easier load than the Maxx 2 even though the specs indicate the Maxx 3 is 91 dB vs the 92 dB for Maxx 2. And the published nominal impedance value of 4ohm is the same. I wonder what makes the Maxx3 an easier load.
