| Many seem to be talking about their last system . Few facts, 1) I love music, 2) I like to hear it at what others call "high end" level, 3) I’m nearly 62 now. 4) I had some money in an old sock. 5) I enjoy life, enjoy a good health. Two years ago I thought of buying myself some new equipment, had... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? Never say never, I thought at the time I owned the Apogee Full Range that these would be my final speakers....but I was too young to have those as my final speakers, so I bought a pair of Apogee Grands.... But still too young....so now own Gryphon... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icu Honestly speaking, I have tried some different M1 settings in combination with the ribbons, but to my ears no major differences. I'm working out of town, so I can't check what the last settings are. All I can confirm that even IF there are ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @kosst_amojan I don't know if a DF of 500 is considered high, but if it is, please listen to the CH Precision M1, you may be surprised how well this one sounds...not that lousy at all. But then again, that is only my opinion, you are at liberty to... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icu I believe that the current retail for a set of M1's is little over US $ 100k, however the Pendragons were sold for about US 175k. Bargaining on this kind of equipment is not easy. Even where I live (Indonesia) where indeed you are expected ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need By the way...if you can buy a M1 for $ 37k...you must have negotiated a very good deal.... ;) Unfortunately, I paid a bit more some 5 month ago. (stereo version) | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icu You wrote "The Bi wire - Bi amp on the Gryphon Pendragon Mid/High unit won't give you any improvement. only cost way more, if you think of another pair of CH M1's ($37,000.- each)." No, that's a little misunderstanding, I have no intention... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icu First of all thanks for going the distance and trying to help. It's really appreciated. As for the cable, as mentioned before, this cable is an old cable, which I had bought several years ago at a very reasonable price. Any money spent on b... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icu As mentioned before, the cables were made by Kharma. (grand reference speaker cable). Did not buy new, but at an auction. This is a silver/gold alloy cable, with an anti-vibration tube around it. Does it matter? I don’t know, all I know is ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icu Sorry, I meant the cable type is for bi-wiring, meaning directly after the amp output cable spades (factory terminated) the cable is split into two, so at the speaker terminals it could feed into two pair of terminals per speaker. Luckily t... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icuPower amp is CH precision M1, speaker system is Gryphon Pendragon, cable length 3 meter, cable is Kharma reference type, bi-amped, however all connected to the same binding posts, so that will possibly total AWG 4/0 or more. Next year I will... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need @b4icu You seem to misunderstand my point, all I'm saying here is that even amongst you guys -I do not doubt the intelligence of any of you in this discussion, in fact I'm often impressed- there is a disagreement, so for somebody like me it will b... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need So now what.... Myself being a mechanical engineer, I mostly have no clue what you guys, being talented electrical engineers, are talking about. However, fortunately or unfortunately, as the debate -even amongst the most talented electrical engine... | |
| best preamps To my ears, after having owned Gryphon, being familiar with Soulution, have heard MBL and some others, CH Precision L1/X1 is the one. | |
| Anyone compared top of the line Gryphon and MBL systems ? Depending on the total system, but with my ears, my personal preference would be the Gryphon products. |
