AZ on the warm side of neutral? : Corrected. I can try another cable but I don't think it's the cable though.    
The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines.
 IMHO his measurement selection still misses a number of relevant subtleties. Most notably the time domain performance of DACs and amplifiers, which are essentially not measured at all by instrumentation like the AP analyzers (they rely upon stea...

Hi jafant, My upstream components are Ayre QB9 DAC, Pass XP10, Simaudio W7 amp.  Cables are Acoustic Zen Hologram II. It could be my hearing.  I am in my mid 50’s and my high frequency hearing is pretty bad. The W7 could be a bit laid back so t...

For the CS2.4 owners, are your vocal reproduction holographic?  Mine is a bit recess.  I am not sure what is the root cause?  Could be from my upstream components.

One thing I don't know is how durable the 8in. woofers are - whether they can withstand the abuse from long term usage.

Raise your hands if both of your CS2.4 coax drivers went out?  It happened to me but thanks to Rob at CSS, both got rebuilt. :-)  
Link to test cd on youtube
Ummmm......doesn't playing it on YouTube kind of defeat the point? I am not looking for sound quality.  I just need to play some test tones to test for the soundstage - especially sound behind the listening spot.

Thanks to Rob, I got my CS2.4 coax driver fixed.  After a month of waiting, I finally got the driver back today.

Has anyone had any experiences with rebuilt coax driver for the CS2.4.  One of my coax driver stopped working.  I need to send it to Rob for rebuild.  Rob told me in the email that the rebuilt unit should have the same spec as the original one and... 
Borresen X3 measurements
It looks like the speakers drivers are from SB Acoustic: https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-6-7-woofers-satori/satori-6-mw16tx-4-textreme-cone-woofer-4-ohm/  
ATC active vs. passive
Another variable to consider is in the active option, is it using DSP or using analog xovers?  You can have active but without DSP. If using DSP, I am assuming the speakers take the digital signal directly from the cd player, perform DSP, then us...

What other gear and cabling are you planning for the system? Not in the near future.  I currently have a Pass XP-10 preamp.  If I have to change one thing, it would be the preamp for a tube unit.  My system is all SS so the midrange is a bit on...
