Any impressions on new Gini/JAS SET integrated amp
I spent quite a bit of time listening to the GINI system(s) at the show. The demo used the Array 2.1 integrated as a power amp and the Array 1.1 pre-amp. One session used the Orsa monitor. Another used the Orsus floor-stander in another. I was tho... 
Proac Response 1sc hookup
You have to use one hand to hold the jumper, the other to hold the spade in place while you tighten the terminal. I became very adept at this from owning R1 SCs & R 2.5s. ;-)Much easier to get biwire cables though. The speakers will thank you. 
2 Italians: Aloia CDP-11.01 & Lector CDP-7T ?
Niether of these lines were represented at the HE show. 
Proac Response 2.5 vs D25
Dodgealum-Thanks for the insight. Being in the NYC area, perhaps there is a Fried dealer in the area. What it the hyperlink to the Fried web page? 
Proac Response 2.5 vs D25
All-I went to a local shop and auditioned the D25s. The system as all Sim Audio Moon SACD/processor/amp and Siltech cabling. I didn't take note of the models but the amp was 5 channel at 150 wpc. For those in my area, I think you know where I was.... 
Proac Response 2.5 vs D25
Hello Cleopatra52- Yes, I agree, you rarely see Coincidents available pre-owned. They continue to be a strong consideration. I have heard these and they are special and at 92db, I think the IT-85 will make them fly.Hello Essentialaudio- My convers... 
Proac Response 2.5 vs D25
Hi Zosima- What do you think would beat the D25 at $5500 NEW? I have considered the Silverline Sonatina ($5k), Concident Super II ($6k) as i'd like to stay with the IT85 for the foreseeable future. The A'gon ads for R2.5s are still hovering around... 
Proac Response 2.5 vs D25
I trid a search in the forums but didn't get exactly what I wanted; that being someone who has had the opportunity to directly A/B the D25 vs the R2.5 or was a former R2.5 owner and moved into the D25. I owned the R2.5s for about 2 yrs and am cons... 
Tubed Integrated/$1500/New or Used
I just spend some time the the Consonance M100. This is a real sleeper. Very impressed. The huge power supplies and EL34s pull great low/mid bass from my AP Tempos. Highly recommended. 
Which amp for the Proac 2.5s
Had ProAc 2.5s for sometime (and regret selling them) and used Plinius SA100 mkII, Levinson 331 and Sonic Frontiers Power2. The Plinius was hands down best match. I'd suggest looking for a MkIII. 
Tight-Budget Tube Integrated... Help
Wait and look for a Mesa Tigris.

Shahinian Obelisk loudspeakers
I recall hearing these at one of the earliest HiFi Shows I ever attended back in the mid 1980s at the hotel across from MSG in NYC. I know the hotel name has now changed. Of all the speakers I heard that day, these impressed me the most. They were...
