New sonus faber Cremona M version
Tda2200,It is your VERY SUBJECTIVE opinion.To my ears new Cremona M is a better speaker then old version. New one sounds IMHO to some degree like Amati Anniversario and that is a nice thing.Even old Cremona sound lean if you compare it to Stradiva... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Article that Elberoth2 mentioned by Arthur Salvatore is pure crap IMO. One of the "reviewers" were Isreal Blume... Go to audioasylum and read current not very nice debate about that article...Apparently Ken Kessler, some respected members and I ar... 
My new Krell LAT-1000. Anyone else like these?
David,I live in Europe, not in the USA...Better speakers then LAT-1000? Avalon Isis and Rockport Altair(even better then Isis IMHO)... But, both are more expensive as well, Isis marginally, Altair a lot more expensive...Still, I like your review v... 
My new Krell LAT-1000. Anyone else like these?
David,I almost fully agree with you but, I have few findings of my own...LAT-1000 is very good speaker with truly individual voicing. And this voicing is not fully neutral IMO.Bass is not the deepest or the most honest that I heard. Put some organ... 
AVALON Indra ??
Samuel33,Just wondering-did you like Isis as well? 
Isophon Cassiano or what?
Cassiano Diamond vs Indra> Indra Cassiano Diamond vs Ascendant2> Cassiano DiamondOf course IMHO... 
Isophon Cassiano or what?
Cassiano Diamond has little bit more bass depth and power. Its soundstage is not as deep as Indra's. In fact Cassiano's soundstage is smaller in all dimensions(although difference is not huge). Cassiano is better with marginally better with popula... 
Isophon Cassiano or what?
Arabba with Diamond tweeter cost 33K Euro in EU and $50K in USA. It is in completely different class from any Sonus Faber speaker, save Stradivari. But, big room and amp are a must...Cassiano Diamond is excellent speaker as well but, I would perso... 
Any Comparisons between VTL 7.5 & ARC Ref 3
There is just one BIG question for me: Can you(or even M.Colloms-I respect him very much) really compare ARC REF3 and CJ ACT2 Series 2? One(ARC) is fully balanced design which IMHO sound much better when used in balanced(as intended) mode. In SE m... 
Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter
Teajay,First, I would like to thank you for opening my ears to Accustic Arts digital products(unlike some reviewers I am not impressed with their amps and preamps).Your review is pretty good one as is your previous ones about Mk-4. But, I still th... 
Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7
Tom,What is the difference in bass depth and power between CS7.2 and CS3.7?BTW, it seems that Thiel discontinued CS7.2 from May 2007...http://www.thielaudio.com/THIEL_Site05/Pages/promo_downloads.htmlSo, either is CS3.7 new provisional Thiel's top... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Here are some news for this excellent thread:I auditioned Esoteric X-01 D2 pretty extensively in last few months. My end conclusion is that it sound very best in my system in BB mode... Build quality is excellent and I can recomment this unit to m... 
Audio Research Reference CD-7
Chris,I agree with you to some degree...But, ARC REF CD7 is together with REF3 the best ARC component in last ten years IMHO. REF CD7 is wonderfully music Cd player and is a natural choice is all ARC system.BTW, I changed my REF210 to HD220. To my... 
New sonus faber Cremona M version
TDA2200,You own old Cremona's?Then you know that size of its woofers is 18cm... Yes, same as new Cremona M. New one use aluminium woofers, same material as Amati Anniversario, Stradivari or Elipsa...New Cremona M is really 4cm higher on new feets.... 
New sonus faber Cremona M version
Pinkus,New Cremona M is 40Hz-30kHz(anechoic) and old Cremona is rated to 32Hz(in room!).Also John Atkinson room is pretty bass friendly(nice room gain).BTW, if you look John Atkinson review of Amati Anniversario you will see that Anniversario do n...
