| Unbelievable 3-D imaging sound My set up is Lumin T2; Mark Levinson 585.5 (I use the DAC in the amp via USB) and Martin Logan Vantage. My acid test is to pick out the piccolo at the very end of Beethoven's 9th. I want to literally hear it in its place in a 3-dimenesional wall ... | |

| What are the advantages of electrostatic versus floor speakers w/wo external drivers? I'm a huge Martin Logan fan. There's a spectacular end to Beethovens 9th. The full orchestra and the choir and all 4 soloists at full throttle and from nowhere the piccolo sounds over them all. I want to be able to pick out the piccolo not just it... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience I agree about panels. Try some Martin Logans.

| Bryston options I'm hoping someone will opine regarding the Lumin amp.. there are very limited reviews and no one seems to stock it.. | |
| Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying Has anyone auditioned the Lumin amp? Having bought a Lumin T2 I'm fully in agreement its stunning... so now to upgrade my amp.. | |
| Bryston options I'm planning on replacing the Bryston because things have moved on over 20 years and because I now have both a far better source and better speakers. The Bryston is brilliant but I think its now the weakest link in my hifi chain... | |
| Best CD of Rachmaninoff's Third Piano C The Volodos recording won numerous prizes.. for a reason! Not only is the recording quite brilliant, the performance is superlative. Definitely my favourite in an extremely crowded field. | |
