| Magico A3 I got to hear the Magico A3 over at Suncoast Audio in Sarasota,Fl and I was very impressed the resolution and balance the speakers have. Very much the Magico sound signature. I have owned the S1Mk2 and now own S3Mk2 and in comparison as you go up ... | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? I owned the Pass Int-60 and it beat out everything till I spent almost 3x the price on a Gryphon Diablo 300. Strengths of the Pass....a delicious tube like sound.....the Diablo 300s strength is that it has a more live presentation. Pick your... | |
| Luxman L-509X You are right, no mid. Meant to write balance.Sorry. | |
| Luxman L-509X I had the opportunity to audition one. It’s a gorgeous unit, exudes class in its build and sound. So versatile, 3 different sound presentations, straight thru, tone control engaged and loudness engaged. I liked using each one at different sound l... | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? It’s all in the music imaging. If you listen to electrostatic you get this large life size representation but you have to have a big room which becomes an extensionof the stage. Also the types of music that sound great on them are narrower. Bass ... | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? My return to hifi hobby had me getting a pair of Lore Reference. Awesome speakers that my son now has in his house enjoying.I purchased a pair of Harbeth HL5 Supers to replace them. I would guess they were about 10% better at 5 times the price. A... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one I have had both the Diablo 300 and the 120 over for audition in my system.The 300 is the beast to get. My Pass Int-60 held its own against the 120 but fell on its face compared to the 300 imho. I’m saving up for the 300 unless I get lured into ... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. I can’t emphasize enough the use of a preamp with the DACs at least in my experience. It was slightly sibilant and thin sounding in my system with my Magico S1 Mk2 in all my direct testing of several DACs with volume control.I am presently using a... | |
| Chord Dave Yeah....much better with preamp. IMHO the best dac I have heard or owned. | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. I think you need a pre-amp in the chain period. I have yet to hear a direct DAC to amp sound great and an dealer friend concurs with me. It’s a great idea on paper but I have never seen it translate to my satisfaction. | |
| Magico vs Kef vs B&W vs. VSA I owned Harbeth SHL5+ and they are fine speakers. I have now Magico S1Mk2and I love them. They are a faster speaker than the Harbeth and a bit better rounded. They should be at more than twice the price. My listening room is a small 11x14 foot ro... | |
| Help choosing integrated I love my Pass Int-60. Class A for the first 30 wattts then goes to B. Heat output is moderate to low, nice remote, and exceptional build and looks.And at 6-7 K it's reasonable for what you get. | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? I had both the Chord Dave and Ayre Qx5-twenty for audition and I found the Dave to be the most pleasing through my Pass Labs Int60 /Magico S1MkII speakers. I did test the Dave bypassing my Preamp and it had a big drop in SQ with thin bass so per... | |
