Appreciate your chiming in Jorn, and well summarized Holenneck. It's getting a bit tiresome and a little long winded on this basically simple subject.

Quanmer, sorry can't comment much on friends' rigs (or else i'll be shown doors the next time I visit ;p), except to say that two of my favorite set-ups are *using Tidal speakers, and the other, *full FMA system.As to your latter question, I will ... 
Audio Research Ref: CD8
Hi, it's been a while since this thread started, has anybody/owners done meaningful comparisons of their CD8 with other current top notch cdps such as Emm Lab XDS1, Puccini+U-clock, Playback Design MP5, Esoteric, Accuphase? I would like to know of...

Hi Maxx1973! don't take risk.. If I were you, not being able to audition any of those costly cables, I'd definitely go with Argento FMR--safest bet! Being used at most Tidal showings, as well by many Tidal owners, they must be doing something very...

Quanmer, don't jump to conclusion just yet. :p Don't rush things, do it slowly and enjoy while at it. Let your speakers and ears do some settling-in and adjustment first also. I spent almost two full weeks carefully learning, then only decide, as ... 
From Marten Coltrane to Avalon Isis, Hansen King??
I think Maxx1973 found that out quite a while back ago. :)

Quanmer, Tbg, in what ways do you guys find them better? Strange.. Could be the different crossover units used in our speakers. With mine, it's definitely better attached. Much improved extension in most smooth and refined manners.

Quanmer, the diamond tweeters are supposed to be wonderfully extended with glorious air and decay. Try attaching the tweeter shorting wires, it will give you back the -2dB taken when un-installed. The highs of Contriva is not what I would describe...

Re: Sunray, I think of it as a great buying opportunity for some! If living in the States, I would have already grabbed them at those silly good prices offered. Not so much gold with my Stradivari as well in the past, when rrp was 40'ish, I bought...

Ciro71,Since you posted here, you should have already very well guessed what the unanimous recommendation would be? ;)Anyway, in a room your size, I'd imagine that the Contriva would be a perfect fit. My room is similar in size, about 60m2 (approx...
