| Amp/Preamp combo for Wilson Sophia 3's I would choose for the X series and not for the XA series. I will do personal a next upgrade to the X600.5 as well. I prefer drive and speed as well. The difference between Boulder and Pass labs is more than only the sound. The Pass Labs gives a d... | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 It's not about how low it goes. It all about speed and timing. Intgration with the speakers that is were it's all about. Wenn the Rel sub's would be faster, I would have sold those. It it still that simple!! Compare a subwoofer with one bassunit i... | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 In the last few years many of my clients did a comparison with there Rel sub's and Monitor Audio subwoofer. They all went from Rel to Monitor Audio. A few also lend the new Rel subwoofers. Ofcourse you can and you are allowed to be happy with it. ... | |
| Cables more hype than value? They believed in there synergy bullshit story. 100% Valhalla Always gave different limitations. But also with other cables in there line. The stage becomes smaller wenn you use full Nordost cables. Wenn I changed for examples interconnects to Kimb... | |
| Will I hear differences between 8TC and 12TC? Rocket 33, better sound, better blacks and better timing. | |
| Amp/Preamp combo for Wilson Sophia 3's Wilson with Boulder is well controlled. But there is no emotion in the overwhole sound. I auditoned this many times at shows. I would not even want this sound for free. At the end audio is about music. Wenn a system cannot play the sound instrumen... | |
| Cables more hype than value? What I said earlier VDH does not make that great cables. He is a funny person, but there are enough brands which outperform his cables with ease. And yess cables have also a big influence on the stage. I sold Nordost for over 9 years. And I did hu... | |
| Amp/Preamp combo for Wilson Sophia 3's This has nothing to do with a match. Wenn you have speakers like JBL they often use simple crossovers. I heard a lot JBl speakers in my life. Most of them already have difficulties to get the image full loose from the speaker. Depth is a lot more ... | |
| Seeking opinions about Pass Labs 250.5 amp. I was surprised that the XA30.5 could drive the Monitor Audio PL-300 with ease. And there was a lot of drive and also the speed was still good. Wenn you listen to an amp you also listen to many other aspects. The room ofcourse, but also the source... | |
| Amplifier for Monitor Audio RX 8 system What I said earlier; Monitor Audio is the only brand which make speakers in all there price ranges which can give depth. You will not find any brand which can make even cheap speakers who can give depth. Tubes can create much easier depth than mos... | |
| Amp/Preamp combo for Wilson Sophia 3's Your speakers use crossovers which are not capable of giving depth. You need a sharp focus and power ( watts and lots of ampères) to control your speakers. That isn why a Bryston is a good match with your speakers. | |
| Seeking opinions about Pass Labs 250.5 amp. Wenn you go up the line with Pass you hear the difference. I owned the 30.5, 60.5 and the 100.5. It is not only the extra power it has. But also the sonic caracter. The stage is bigger, the sound is more musical. And there is more space around the... | |
| Amp/Preamp combo for Wilson Sophia 3's I had many discussions with Pass Labs as well about there limitations. Pass Labs is very good in giving a deep and wide stage. But it still lacks the sharp and small individual focus of instruments and voices like they sound in real. But also how ... | |
| Amp/Preamp combo for Wilson Sophia 3's Bryston is not an amp which can give a deep and wide stage. Depth and wide are the most essential parts which need to be there in the world of highend. Wenn they are not there you play at a 2-dimensional level. I call 2-dimensional audio standard ... | |
| Will I hear differences between 8TC and 12TC? I sold a lot of Kimber in the past. These days I seldom sell it. Because Audioquest is a big step further. They need to improve there cables. They still make nice cables, but often you can get better ones for the money. It also depends about your ... |
