Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room
I owned and sold a lot of AQ Sky. You need to be aware that this interconnect has a very open mid freq. With some tweeters it can sound a little harsh. That is why you need to need to bring in your own stuff when you have no option to audition it ...

Clear, but I still advice you to test the speakers with your own equipment. Even if you cannot try it at home.I met too many people who spend a lot of money on audio who were not happy. You need to test something. What I said; just don't take any ...

In 1999 I bought a new set of B&W 802 Nautilus. They were not so high. I wanted the stage higher and moe free from the spaker. So I made a granite plate of 42 kg in the shape of the Nautilus. Even with the logo on the front side. And I used de...

I bought 2 sets of the new Audiogest Wel Signature. With the new xlr plugs. What makes it special is that I never heard such a physical papable individual focus. It is exeptional good in letting you hear very easy differences in height. The same t...

Even with Nordost and Kimber I did win many shootouts in the past of clients who also lend Silltech cables. These were all very different sets compared to eachother. I always advice to test more different stuff. Even to clients I advice to test br...

I give you a story about Slissstech. I remember that they raised their prices, but for dealers they lowered the prices. So that they could give more discount. Many shops didn't like this approach. I sold a lot Audioquest in the last 2 years to peo...

I had this problem in the past as well. What I did was that I took all my stuff ( amp/source/cables/conditioner) with me to the person who sold the speakers. It was a very good combo so I bought them. And my house it also did very well. I hope thi...

I am from the Netherlands were Slissssstech is comming from. Many people who also work in the world of audio don't like the people of Slisstech. Very arrogant people. In the Netherlands they lost a big part of the market for better cables. It is n...

For this kind of money I would try it first at your home. And I would take some time to audition to more spakers in this range. You could take a listen to Magico as well. The S5 is sealed, plays easier in a smaller room.

Audioquest is better. Take a look at the Diamond and Wild.
