| Why People Like Tekton I have not had a chance to hear tekton in person. I most likely won't be giving up my Rockport Atria II to get a pair but yoy never know. | |
| AKM makes the best DACs I would recomend listening to somethiFROM, MSB, dCS, or Chord before saying the AKM is the best. I still own an SP1000 with the AKM 4497eq chip but it is bested by my Bartok, MSB discrete or Chord TT2 and Dave. | |
| Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30? I would look at Rockport Atria II. I was looking st them send A5. The Rockport won for me. | |
| How does a REL subwoofer add dimensionality and depth to a sound system? I agree with hilde45. I went with JL Fathoms over Rel. They offer much more flexibility in set up. They have full adjustable phase to adjust for proper placement. They also have built-in room correction via eq. Another point for me was that they a... | |
| Headphones vs full range speakers I have owned both. I used to own what some would call the best headphone available.the abyss AB-1266 PHI TC with a formula s, powerman and dCS Bartok. I upgraded my speakers from Magico S1mkII to a pair of Rockport Atria II with pair of JL F110v2 ... | |
| Which DAC is better? Just go out and get a dCS Bartok and never wonder again. | |
| Cornwall IV and subwoofers @tubebuffer I could not agree more about the rockports. I went from Magico S1mkII to Atria II and could not be happier. They do cost $21K more so a different league all together. | |
| Which amplifier should i buy @haimrI Know of a dealer local to me that is selling a pair of Octave MRE220 mono amps. They put out 220w into 4 ohms. They are also built like tanks. | |
| Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk I am not sure where you are located but I suggest you look at the Rockport Atria II. I picked up a pair after owning magicos and could not be happier. | |
| Magico Customer service Henry,Stiffness also has to do with the thickness of the product. I am not arguing with science. I am just stating from my experience. I would still take an S series speaker over the A series but yoy need ro get to the S5 to match the A5. | |
| Magico Customer service Henry,I would beg to differ on the stiffness of the cabinets. Rockport and magico both have very rigid cabinets. I have owned both brands. The S series is better than A to my ears and some of this is due to the cabinet design. The A series is all ... | |
| Magico Customer service Henry,There is no comparing the A5 to the Lyra. The Lyra enclosure is way above the A series or even the M series in my opinion. The damping within the two aluminum enclosures is really incredible. I actually find the Rockport MDF enclosures to be... | |
| Magico Customer service Henry,I have heard the A5 setup correctly. I actually preferred the S1mkII sonically over the A5 it is a more refined sound. I think the big wow factor to the A5 is is slam from the 3 woofers. I would take the S3mkII over the A5 any day of the wee... | |
| Magico Customer service Henry, The tweeters are not proprietary. They have a diamond coating but the motor structures are from scanspeak. If ypy look at the driver outside of the speaker you can see this. I used to own the S1mkII which has the diamond coated driver. The ... | |
| Magico Customer service The drivers are out sourced. The tweeters are modified scanspeak designs. I belive that the woofers areodified morel units. They have bespoke carbon graphine cones. Magico is not up front about their driver sources. |
