Nice recording indeed, but lacks bass for my taste. Tried it on several systems and always lacked the bass. Many other so-called audiophile records are better balanced. 
Help Choosing Speakers
Hi, your room is small. Your amp is 4w only. I would look at Blumenstein Triton, Decware ZOB or HDT, Zu Audio Omen.

Dear borg7x9,I am a very recent owner of the Westminster GR, and was looking out for amplifier matching from experimented owners.Don't know if you are still active on this forum, but if so, would like to hear from you, what have you come up with, ...

Thanks dragon_vibe, at first I thought your name would have a relation with the Coincident Dragon MkII... those are the ones i actually had the the Tannoy!!As you can see in the thread, i have gone ahead with ordering Gryphon Mephisto solo. I was ... 
Help, my system sounds lifeless!
Dear Paul,Here is an official promise to you. For quality speakers, here is two options with which you cant go wrong and that many in US don't know about; XTZ. It is Swedish made with top SEAS and Accuton drivers, it is sold direct from manufactur... 
Sanity test before you start this hobby
is this just for philosophical fun? or is it just that you guys don't have a good sounding audio system? the never ending journey can end just there. Sell it and forget about it. Or maybe you can learn to separate the often more expensive but wort...

thanks Pani for your input. I am very open to try them out and was actually wanting to try one for my secondary system, but then a friend of mine who is a Pass representative (he owns the Xs300) told me that it wasn't good enough. If only everyone...

melbguy1, thanks for the feedback. 2017 plans sounds exciting, impatient to see your system. Orders made for the Gryphon Mephisto solos since last week, should receive them this week, and will wait another week of burn-in to give some feedback (ca...

Yes Soundsrealaudio, monoblocks for me too, but 300B SET amps, only 8Watts/ch.Wife wise, many of us in the same situation, some things get harder, like our hearing, and some things become less hard!!I was thinking of our hearts, of course, they so...

Very good advise from Al, i will put to practice and contact I.Blume to check out. If need be, i have another high end preamp that might be better (Esoteric Grandioso C1), could try that as well.Jim, i do like those speakers, they sound great with...

I am not a follower of Jeff Fritz, or not really anyone for that matter. I was not born yesterday, and very well know that reviewers may have interests here and there, if not their own good taste. As said in my introduction, i take things all over...

Yes Melbguy1, i totally got your point, and totally agree that MSRP don't reflect the actual and full musical quality of an amp. So far, all subjectively, my Coincident Frankenstein 300B MkII beat anything i have heard in pure musical terms, at an...

Thanks again to all for your input!! Hi Roxy54, i said i wasn't ready to spend for USD200,000 and over, it is a big difference with $60,000 for an all European made and outsourced 200W ClassA zeroNF very high grade SS amp don't you think? just $14...

Thanks Melbguy1. I can go to some USD60k, and actually i am having a great and rare opportunity around that price for a pair of brand new Gryphon Mephisto Solo (230V) from Europe, that's the monoblock version, with 200W ClassA with zero NF. They a...
