| Naim Atom alternative? We are a Naim dealer, so here is our perspective on the Atom.The Atom is way better then the lower priced tier of equipment.Even though the Atom is one of Naims lowest cost items it is using amplification technology and digital technology out of m... | |
| 2017 amps - $10K to $15K who is on your short list? Jim, one of the most interesting and highest performing products you mentioned but nobody replied until now.We are the East Coast representatives of T+A and in their case you can look at two options the first being their PA 3000 HV integrated whic... | |
| KEF Ls50 wireless vs passive We sell both, here is the way you should look at it:1: Active vs Passive sound quality, the Actives actually do sound better, more open, impressive clarity.2: Future up-gradability, Passive setup totally open as you can switch up to different ele... | |
| Kef 207/2 ---Kef Blades Sandy we had both speakers on display first the 207 and then the Blades.The Blades offer far greater transparency, a much bigger sound stage and even deeper bass.The Blades are awesome and represent a fantastic value for a true reference speaker.W... | |
| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them Wow that is interesteing that you owned three different sets before it dawned on you that you had issues with them.I am not suprised that the Rogue audio setup wasn't good, it is not a tube thing, it is a complete system matching thing.When you ha... | |
| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them Personally I find the whole Persona thing really really weird.People should be flooding the posts with interest about wanting to audition the speakers, yet we keep on hearing the same litenany of brands, Magico, Wilson, Rockport etc.I know of no o... | |
| Magico vs Kef vs B&W vs. VSA Never was impressed by those Dweller, they are basically nicer versions of Sonus Faber or you could say Veritys because of the use of the same drivers way, way overpriced even at half. | |
| Magico vs Kef vs B&W vs. VSA We would recommend that you add the new Paradigm Persona 9H to the mix. The Personas are extraordinary in many ways, they will work with a low power amplifier, as they are 96db efficient.They have active room correction to ensure that you get grea... | |
| Any comments on the Ayre AX-7e integrated amp vs the Hegel Röst integrated amp The Hegel stuff is indeed very good, we were a dealer for many years. The sound is clean, fast, detailed with very tight bass.We just got in a very interesting new integrated amplifier that you might want to consider it is a bit more expensive but... | |
| Plinius Hiato KW6 not in this lifetime would i recommend an Adcom, which are anything but silky. The Adcom is a good cheapie amp but as with all cheapie amps they lack refinement and usually have a less then sweet top end. | |
| Plinius Hiato Never had a Hialto which is just a bigger version of the Hutonga.I will sum up the Plinius sound as very rich and engaging and one of the great matches with ML, way better than Hegel, Sim Audio, and many others affordable near reference class ampl... | |
| Plinius Hiato As a former Plinius dealer,completely wrong.The Plinius sounds great with the Martin Logans. The Plinius amps are very high current and that is the difference. They can easily drive very hard to handle loudspeakers.They also compliment the tonal r... | |
| Which of the new 4K Recievers do you prefer? Hello OzzyMay we be of assistance. Our shop sellsNAD,Arcam,Audio ControlCambridge AudioWe can give you great advice about these and other modelsThe high end European brands sound way better than the Japanese stuffWe did a comparison of a Denon an... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? I would have to agree with ricred It will be very hard to beat the Monitor Audio PL 500 for what they do for the money. The new Heil drivers are a bit more laid back then the originals ribbons which were hyper detailed. Also the size of the speake... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? We have the T+A PA 3000 amplifier and it is just a smoking amplifier.http://www.ta-hifi.de/wp-content/uploads/HV_Serie_2017_GB.pdfThe integrated amplifier version which costs $19k was compared to $120k worth of CH Precision gear and Allan Taffel c... |
