Why are subwoofers so polarizing?
I understand you very well. I had many big speakers like the B&W 800S. For stereo use many subwoofers were all too slow. I would not even want it for free in my system. I sold a lot of Rel sub's to clients. For me it was too slow and I hated t... 
Need multi-channel that's great on 2 channel
It depends also what for speakers you use. The Arcam and Marantz have both a musical sound. But......they both have one other thing in common. They are both almost 2-dimensional in image. How do I know this. I sold them for many years and I Always... 
Pass labs XA60.5 anything wrong with them.
No, In prefer 100.5 over X250.5. But in the setting I use now I prefer the 250.5 over the 60.5. That is why I will choose for the 600.5 later. XA has a more musical sound compared to X series. But the drive and speed do a lot with the Pl-200 speak...

The harshness is also a limitation of the Thiel speaker. What I said: I use the Purist Audio LE 2013 powercable. Purist opens the mid freq. Totally no harshness in the Pl-200 from Monitor Audio. I played with the 30.5, 60.5 and 100.5 with the Pl-3... 
Pass labs XA60.5 anything wrong with them.
I thought I prefered the XA over the X series. I am not sure anymore. It has to do that I use the Purist Audio LE 2013 powercable. This gives me a much higher level out of the X250.5. I think I will go for the X600.5 later this year. There is a bi... 
Nordost Frey series 1 or Heimdall series 2?
Go for the new series, they improved the overwhole sound. Older ones can become harsh. 
Very large room HT
You are prepared to spend a lot of money on your system. First you have to listen to speakers. You are the only one who can do this. It is a personal matter. For Movies you should buy a Plasma or projector. All LED/lcd tv's have an almost 2 dimens...

I had them for some time. I also owned the XA-100.5 and 30.5. To be honnest for the money the 30.5 and 100.5 were better. These amps I used with the XP-20 Now I use the X250.5, overwhole sound I prefer a lot more over the XA60.5. The slamm and spe... 
Aurender S10 compare to the best cd-players
Thanks, I knew USB gives the best results with the Aurender. 
New tv?
It is the Diamond from Audioquest. I use now three of them. One as a monitor cable to my Samsung PS64F8500, one for my Humax decoder and one for my Bluray player. It is both in vision and sound the best I have seen and heard sofar. Pure silver doe... 
Tara Labs The One SC and Avalon Speaker
Odin does not have the blacks and sharp individual focus and the 3d stunning image. Also the stage is not that wide and deep as Audioquest can. And I know where I am talking about. I did own the Valhalla for over 12 years. And I did hundreds of te...

The Oak from Audioquest is an exeptional good cable for Avalon. I never heard any cable in this price tag to give such a 3d touchable image with stunning blacks as well. At this moment there is no other brand who can do this with this precision. I... 
Tara Labs The One SC and Avalon Speaker
In-akustik makes good speakercabels, not excellent speaker cables. Audioquest is by far the best in blacks. This part is very important for a 3d and touchabel image. focus is the most weakest point of Avalon speakers. You need to use the right cab...

A friend of mine had a small concert room for about 60 people with a Steinway wing. Here I learned how small and direct voices and instruments sounds in real. I loved the intimate sound. Like the music is so much closer to you. I hope to do more a... 
Tara Labs The One SC and Avalon Speaker
I sold Avalon for over 6 years. One thing I know 100% sure. MIT never will be the best option. Why? Very simple: Avalon and MIT both give a wide and deep stage. But both lack individual focus of instruments and voices. I recently sold an Oak from ...
