| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers @skyscraper Congrats on your A3's! I heard them just the other week on Hegel gear and they were mighty impressive. As always though, it is hard to tell how they will sound in my system, in my home but it left an impression on me that I am finding ... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @facten I should give them a try. They are about 2 hours from me but I do travel in that direction once a month or so. Is there a particular speaker that you would recommend? | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @markmendenhall I was initially quite impressed with the pace and dynamic quality of the low end but it was the high's which were somewhat piercing (I am fairly sensitive to high harshness). The Sonus was being powered by McIntosh and Hegel gear. | |

| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K With my Ascend’s, they are being powered by the 805’s with no issues. I rarely go above the 9 o clock mark in volume. I don’t play at anywhere near concert levels. I haven’t heard the A3’s with my LM but I am curious about them. The shop seems to ... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K Thanks @shkong78 I appreciate the offer! Always good to meet someone local that is so willing to help out. I'm ok for the demo for now as I continue to consider some of these other speakers out there right now. I don't think I will go for a Vaughn... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @soundsrealaudio Care to elaborate? | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @firstnot Agreed. I'm in no rush. As I said, the Ascend Acoustics sound fantastic, especially for the investment so I can hold off for a while :) | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @sciencecop I'm not sure I understand your post. Care to elaborate a little more? | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @jperry ah, just saw your posting about the audiogon ad. I'll check that out. Have you compared the ProAc to some of the other speakers that I mentioned in the opening message? Curious to hear your thoughts in comparison. | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @shkong78 I gotta vito the Berlin's simply because of aesthetics. Not a fan given that they will be literally the loudest item in the living room. Appreciate the response though! I bet they sound great but without being able to pass on looks, it d... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @jperry I like what I see from the ProAc D48. Unfortunately, not going to be easy to find any place near me for a listening session. How did you get yours? | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions After hearing some suggestions from @waltersalas about the Encore's I am interested to see how they would work with my system. I have the Line Magnetic 805ia which is a single ended amp pushing 48W per channel. It doesn't sound like that will be a... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K I listened to the Magico A3's today. They look much better in person than through photos (they basically look like a black box in photos). Build quality is superb - as you would expect of a $9,800 speaker. The speakers could be driven HARD and yet... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @waltersalas thanks for the recommendation on Tekton. How would you describe your experience with the Encores and how does it differ from the Double Impact? No issues with power from the LM? |
