floor-stander speaker for "classical"
The new Monitor Audio Silver 8 is the new benchmark in the pricerange till 2000 dollar. I never heard any speakers in this price range this stunning. In europe it wins every battle. And also has get many editors recommendations. Just take a listen. 
Best subs for music under 1000$
The new Monitor Audio Radius 390 is very fast and well controlled. In timing it is the best new subwoofer I heard sofar. Most subwoofers are way too slow in response. But this one is fast as a rocket. 
Class A vs. AB vs. D... can you hear a difference?
I sold a lot of Primare in the past. These days I seldom sell it. They went from class AB to D. When you compare the old one with the new, the old ones are more musical and even have a better 3 Dimensional stage. The Pioneer receivers in class D s... 
Lyngdorf CD1::Can it compete with Rega Saturn-R?
You have to judge audio for all parts it can give. It doesn't matter what it costs. Audio is about realims in sound and in quality. That is why I say: the best sound always wins.I judge audio ( every single set) for which parts are there and which... 
Lyngdorf CD1::Can it compete with Rega Saturn-R?
I sold Lyngdorf ( Tact) in the past. It is one of the most overrated brands I ever audioned and sold so far. Reasons are very clear and simple:- sound is not very natural, it is more clinical. In real instruments like a violin sounds so much diffe... 
What are the "new" brands in amps and pre-amps

Pass x250.8 vs Boulder 850 vs Spectral DMA250
My way of working is always creating a higher level in sound than any competitor. When they come with MIT I always laugh. Because I know the outcome. Only people with less knowledge in music and sound would buy the MIT cables. It is very easy for ... 
Pass x250.8 vs Boulder 850 vs Spectral DMA250
The dealer is the same and that says all. In the past when I sold Avalon they said MIT is the best combination with Avalon. This was bassed on political grounds. This I really hate. I want to end this.I have proven in the last years that Audioques... 
What amps do you use with your Revel Salons/Studio
With Pass Labs you have the control,speed, depth and most important a very involving sound. In my opinion it is much more complete than any ML amp.I think the new Pass Labs X350.8 will be a grat amp. Or go for a used 350.5 or 600.5 
Any Levinson owners/critics out there?
I owned the 802N from 1999-2005. These days it is a very poor speaker in timing and control in the low freq. I even think the Revel is a better option. I am in this business for over 16 years of time. I have listend to ML at many shows and clients... 
Pass x250.8 vs Boulder 850 vs Spectral DMA250
MIT with Spectral doesn't make any sence at all. You must be a F... mongol to make this combination. Why? Very simple you need to be aware of the properties Spectral owns. And the properties of MIT. They both give a deep and wide stage, but they l... 
Pass x250.8 vs Boulder 850 vs Spectral DMA250
I tested a few Ayre amps in the past. They do not have the width and depth of Pass Labs. I know from email contact that the new .8 series even have a wider and deeper stage. Only class a will give you all the colours in the mid freq. you want and ... 
Pass x250.8 vs Boulder 850 vs Spectral DMA250
In 16 years of time I heard many spectral demos. There was not even one time that it gave me a smile on my face. What I said earlier; in a few seconds I can hear to all different parts which need to be there. There is a lot missing with Spectral i... 
Pass x250.8 vs Boulder 850 vs Spectral DMA250
My dentist plays with the first generation Amati's. He uses Krell amps of about 7 years old. The sound is stunning. I heard these also with ML. It sounded dead, without emotion. Even depth was of a very low level. Yes SF needs power and speed, bec... 
Pass x250.8 vs Boulder 850 vs Spectral DMA250
I would choose for Pass Labs directly. But...that information is just personal and totally not interesting for you.Often you know what you prefer or like in a very short time. A good remark is a big smile on your face. :)Before owning it, you need...
