New KEF Reference 5 speakers
No Contuzzi you don't read well do you. We were saying that the KEF Ref 1 are priced comensurately with any of the other major contenders.I don't hear anyone talking about the Focal's being overpriced, they are not overpriced but again none of the... 
New KEF Reference 5 speakers
Avanti come on man your statements are just over the top The REF 1 come off as metallic and un-natural. If the REF 5s are voiced similarly I can understand your hesitation.  The REF 1s were hugely over priced even at a substantial discount from ...

Elac Adante AS 61 vs AF 61
We both agree and disagree with Contuzzi. Yes 20 watts is not optimal but it could sound glorious until the amp really clíps also providing the room size isnt big and the listener isnt a volume freak.Played our Adantes on a 50watt Naim amp and it ...

Elac Adante AS 61 vs AF 61
Actually Contuzzi, we haven't yet. Although our product selection is among the best in the NY City tristate area, we have not received a lot of calls on the Elacs, which is why we brought in the line in the first place.Personally we feel the Adant...

Ricrdi, Just got to comment on your point, I listened to the Gryphon 300 and T+A at an audio show. My amplifier experience really earned my respect for my Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amplifier and I decided to keep it. The only way to know the sound quali...

T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components
Ricrdi, we would never scream the T+A gear is better, in fact in discussions of uber integrated amps we often mention Gryphon as well as Vitus.You can't really judge hearing a set of Magico's on T+A vs YG on Gryphon two totally different setups, d...
