| Class D ICEpower 1200as2 vs. Purifi 1ET7040SA amplifiers To All: You guys have provided a lot of good information with your experience and impressions on different power amps! Unfortunately, I can’t get my hands on all the different amps you all mentioned, nor would I want to go through that many audi... | |
| Class D ICEpower 1200as2 vs. Purifi 1ET7040SA amplifiers @jbuhl I didn’t know the PS Audio 1200 was using the 2200as2? Thanks for that information. I really like PS Audio customer service, but I had an issue they couldn’t resolved with my Stellar Gain Cell DAC, so I don’t think I’ll be going down that... | |
| Class D ICEpower 1200as2 vs. Purifi 1ET7040SA amplifiers @erik_squires I appreciate your feedback. I’ve been getting that type of feedback from a lot of reviews and forums concerning the latest offerings from class D amps vs. owner’s expensive solid state or tube class A & AB amps. So, it’s good t... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120 vs. Luxman L-509x @ryder Unfortunately, I never compared the Gryphon Diablo 120 in my system. I decided to buy a Holo Audio Serene KTE preamp to pair with my Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE DAC because I wanted to go back to separates for more flexibility. So, I’m actual... | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra @dz13 No problem concerning the info. I own the X5s with the active subwoofer, but I prefer the X4s after hearing them. Also, I saw Steve Guttenberg’s YouTube video that you mentioned. | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra @soix The X series use AMT tweeters, not ribbon tweeters. They do look very similar though. The X4s were used at the NYC audio show. The fully passive X4s produce really good bass! | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna I had the PrimaLuna EVO400 preamp and power amp combo. I wanted SS as well and replaced the PL combo with a Luxman L-509X integrated amp. I like it better than the PL I had, although the PL was very nice. The Gryphon Diablo 120 or 300 is the on... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120 vs. Luxman L-509x Mjcmt, Thanks for sharing the Diablo 120 review! | |
| Optical vs Ultra Rendu. I had both UltraRendu then upgraded to the opticalRendu, connected to my Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE DAC and didn’t hear a difference. The opticalRendu continued to have music dropouts and ran really hot, so I returned it just at the end of my 30 day... | |
| Intergrated Amp suggestions for B&W 805d4 I recommend the Luxman L-509X. I own one and I haven’t read any bad reviews, but you know your ears are the final court of arbitration. | |
| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? I’d like to demo the Pure Audio Project (PAP) Quintet 15. My reason for wanting to demo these is because I debated on purchasing Spatial Audio X5 and PAP Quintet 15. I purchased the Spatial Audio X5 and very satisfied with them. However, I am r... | |
| Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K I recommended two (2) speakers;1. Spatial Audio X5. I own these speakers and they SMOKE! They do need to be at least 3 ft. off the front wall to create a musical magic show and the more distance from the front wall will help to eliminate bass ca... | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? Yakbob,You made a very interesting point that I have thought about carefully, concerning can I resale the Pure Audio Project (PAP) speakers given the way their purchase model is setup. I actually thought about whether or not I could sell any OBD ... | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? Oz,Wow, “no contest with the X3” is impressive! It’s good to get a view point from a former Wilson Audio Sofia owner. I’m sure some may think otherwise because many have never heard OBD speakers and the big boys like Wilson, B&W, Magico, etc... | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? Oz,I noticed in your list of speakers that you’ve owned a pair of Wilson Audio Sofia’s. I heard them years ago and always wanted a pair and was waiting for a used pair of the version 3’s to reach my budget. My brother and cousin own a pair of Wils... |
