Ideal amp for B&W matrix 800
@tattooedtrackman  Nice to hear u have great results with the fpb600, what pre and source are you using? What about cabling? I use audioquest wild wood speaker cables 
Any Esoteric K-01 owners use Mac with Audirvana?
Anyone? I suspect the dowloaded driver from esoteric jp could be at fault as well, anyone has cd with drivers that came in box with K-01?thx! 
Esoteric K-01/K-03 Owners
This is quite an old thread but I was wondering if the HS_2 on the K-01 USB works with some version of MAC osX? And maybe I need the old Esoteric USB driver for it? The one I downloaded now from the website does not work with Lion, Mountain Lion o...

That seems all good news guys, apparently Dan is more accessible and concerned then 30 years ago and the top product seems indeed to be just that then, no matter if it is smaller!I look forward to hearing it! So far I just had the occassion to lis...

@bar81 My speakers are nominal 4 ohms actually, thanks for your input!Anyone had the chance to compare Rowland 725 or 825 to the D Agostinos? 
D’Agostino Momentum stereo vs D’Agostino Progression Stereo Amp
@bar81 thank you for the long explanation, exactly the info I was after. Very interesting indeed that the buyer for the progression monos ended up with the m400 s instead based on sound!I am still wondering what exactly in the sound is so differen... 
D’Agostino Momentum stereo vs D’Agostino Progression Stereo Amp
@bar81 I just read your system story, omg, nice to hear other audiophiles experience the same search for the holy grail!Great to read the m400 dags deliver the goods, but at that time I guess the progressions weren’t available for comparison?My fu...

Wow, to be honest I did not expect any negative comments, 1981 and Krell is a long time ago though...but sorry to hear about that negative experience @mijostyn

The dealer in question should then have to possess both models, and offer the momentum at secondhand prices🙄 
Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
Strangest thing... I accompanied a friend to pick up his new Hegel 360 amp in a shop, and asked to,hear the blade 2s on it... I did not like at all... we changed for the Kef Reference 5 and all was well... better imaging, no midbass bloat...In all... 
Mcintosh 250 Transformer Hum Normal

Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
Thank you Ayrefan for the long and detailed info!Seems there are a lot of happy Blade 2 campers out there 😎I am wondering if any Blade one owners want to chip in and tell us their experiences? 
Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
Just remeasured my room, 4.65 m to be exact... leaving 65 for the width of the speakers I could put them 2 m apart and leave 1m each side... But still room treatment then would be needed seems...No idea if the big blade would be at disavantage bec... 
Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
i just found a Dutch review saying the same as Audiotroy, both Blades sound alike but the bigger sounds bigger, giving off more energy... which one is best depends on the room you use it in...How much distance is recommended from the side and rear... 
Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
