Picking Speakers 20k-30k
@ronboco  My understanding is that the difference in price to produce the two speakers was not too different.  It is possible they were not making enough on the atria compared to the rest of the line up. I do miss my Atria II. I do hope to one da... 
Picking Speakers 20k-30k
@ronboco There was no update to the speakers. It was a price increase only. I bought the Atria II @$26k it then went to $28 and then $38k. I truly think that $26- 28 is a good price range for the atria. The Avior was also a good price ice at $40k....

New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui
I have owned the TT2 with the Mscaler, dCS Bartok, MSB Discrete and now the Premier. I would take a serious look at the MSB lineup. I found the discrete to be much more natural than the other dacs I had owned. I was also surprised inning them with... 
Dac that has tone and timing?
I know that it is a stretch but the MSB discrete dac is pretty incredible in regards to resolution and tonal accuracy as well as people like to say prat. I moved from the Bartok to the discrete and was happy with the change. I did buy the bartok w... 
Best €2500 sub purely for music?
@ronboco  I can see how you don’t need subs with the Avior II. I had a pair of Atria II that were good with out subs and could play down to 28hz at -3db. I did pair them with JL F100v2 subs and they sounded great. They filled out the bottom end. ... 
Good speakers for Parasound Halo JC1
@mikempls There will be multiple rooms with rockport speakers this year. i think at least two with the atria II and one with Cygnus. i owned the Atria II for two years and loved them.  I paired them with 2 jl f100v2 subs to great results. i just u... 
Innuous Zenith Mk3 and Phoenix vs Esoteric N-05XD
Let me through a big curve ball. I suggest that you try the MSB discrete with the renderer module. Add a gigafoilv4 with the ifi elite power supply.  This should run about $15,000 usd. This would allow you to get rid of all the Innuos gear and run... 
New Western Electric 91E 300B Tube Integrated Amp REVIEW !
It is not a review from Uncle Kevin. It is a sales pitch just like any prima Luna video that he does.   
DACs that do well without a preamp
If you want to go without a preamp I think you need to increase your budget by a good amount. People run the chord Dave as a pre but I have not liked that setup in systems that I have heard. I did run a dCS bank Tom without a pre into a Krell duo ... 
How many people do you think have the same DAC, amplifier, and speakers
I think it depends on what the system is. I bet if you looked at owners of the Wilson Wamm over 25% own the same gear. I Wamm, D’Agostino relentless, dCS Vivaldi stack.    Not sure there is anyone with the same system I have. That said my system ... 
What is Your End Game System?
I am almost at my endgame system. I have been into Hi-Fi speaker systems for about 4 years now. I started with headphones and went to the top of that summit before getting into speakers.    I started with a pair of KEF LS50 and an Arcam A-38. The... 
100% USA designed & made DAC
I am surprised that only one mention for MSB.    MSB designed produced in house in the USA.    my system is all made in the USA Rockport Technologies Dan D’Agostino  Transparent JL Audio      
Searching for an amp to pair with Rockport Atria II
@jmeyers Have you purchased the Atria II? They are incredible speakers. I have just been able to realize how much they scale. I was able to sell off my Classe Delta separates. I was going to go with the MSB S202 but a deal was offered to me on som... 
D'Agostino Progression Integrated Amp
I auditioned the progression integrated. It was really good I was looking for something different than my krell duo300xd. It had a fuller sound than the krell. I ended up going with classe seperates for a bit. But now find my self with Momentum HD...
