JMR Offrande Supreme V2 vs GMA Calypso
I purchased the Offrandes a few months ago after reading about them on Bob Neil's website and also speaking directly with him; I did not have the ability to audition them. These are the 1st JM Reynaud's that I have purchased and am very pleased th... 
ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III

Tyler Decade line Vs. Old line
I have Linbrook System 2s Taylo 7Us and Decade 3s To my ears the System 2s are somewhat warmer than the Taylo and the Decade 3, and have a deeper base. The Taylo offer a broader soundstage than the System 2s. The Decade 3s are a little more forwar...
