| Help building new system: devore, verity or Sonus? If I were you I would try SH Sonus Faber Guarneri or Avalon Symbol N (fantastic speakers). | |
| Dartzeel CTH-8550 I agree with Rossman. It is disappointing. Compared CHT8850 with my Jadis DA88s (speakers are Avalon Ascendant 2) and it was not even close. Dartzeel sounded grey, not involving. Jadis has better sense of liveness and purity of tone. Surprisingly,... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. Vote for Avalons. Its' sound is very sophisticated (from Symbols to Diamonds, haven't heard Isis yet). Matched properly will give you unforgettable soundstage with fantastic sense of emotions in music.If you consider buying new speakers, wait a mo... | |
| Tube Amplifier for Avalon Arcus I reccommend Jadis Defy 7 (mark III or higher) or integrated DA88s. The match is made in heaven. Very natural, sweet, happy, addictive, just for music lovers.I've tried to match my Ascendants with Accuphase, Cary, Krell, Dartzeel amps and none of ... | |
| Air Tight ATM-2 vs CAT JL2 with Avalon speakers I've finished my research with Jadis DA88s. Absolutely amazing amp, probably the best integrated ever made. Synergy with Avalons is unbelievable. Rest of system is MBL 1531 and Stereovox cables. Together it gives me the very best sound in my life.... | |
| Air Tight ATM-2 vs CAT JL2 with Avalon speakers I used to call "sweet" amps like Accuphase A30 (e.g. with Audio Physics, Thiels) but with Ascendants it sounds lean with boomy bass. Quite unexpected.Don't know Ayre, nor Spectral gear which are famous for synergy with Avalons cause they're not av... | |
| Air Tight ATM-2 vs CAT JL2 with Avalon speakers Unfortunately I can't audition any of above. There's no CAT distribution in my country and my Air Tight dealer hasn't got ATM-2 (and won't have soon).There's a lot on the forum about CAT-Avalon synergy and I'm sure that's one of the best choices o... | |
| Amps/Preamps for Avalon Ascendant Hi!Have any of you tried matching the latest version of Ascendants with Accuphase A class amplifiers (E-550/A-30)? What's other solid state brands do you recommend in range of 4-6k $ (new stuff only)? I heard a lot about synergy with Ayre (any exp... | |
| European Speaker Price Increase Sorry, I've meant Eidolon Diamonds not Vision and it costs above 53k $ according to today's rate of exchange. | |
| European Speaker Price Increase You should compare some prices for US speakers in Europe with US ones e.g. Avalon Eidolon Vision's retail in Poland (probably the lowest in whole Europe) is at the moment about 50k $. That's a REAL BARGAIN:) |
