It could be a number of things. The first thing I do in the high end is to try to listen the that piece of equipment. Expensive doesn’t make it the best. I look at multiple magazine reviews and blog reviews. I also look at the audio forums to see ...

One more thing the raidho people measured his room and placed the speakers.

A lot of the dealers are demoing raidho with chord or other stuff.  But with the soulutions electronics and source it was more on the organic side.  Big images nice detail. Etc.

@mapman I do agree with going to listen at live venues as well. That is also a very important reference point. I think you get a bigger sound in live listening. I think the soulutions gear even though it’s overpriced provides a big sound with big ...

Not a big deal to share what you have but will run the mouth about how anyone who buys high end is a fool. Just get off the thread. Go that away!
