Yamamoto A-08S and Audio Note ANe
A generous friend lent me his Audio Note Kit one with upgraded resistors, caps and output transformers (See my system pics). It has no problem driving my hi eff AN-e's. Startling presence and simply a "There" sound. Dynamics are excellent no sense... 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
Been in ILS several times the size is about 20x14??? They have the system set up along the long wall so the listener is 7-10 ft. away from the speakers.Knott, lol!! Jet

Cfluxa,Were the Oragutans being driven by the Haut Brion?Jet 
Shindo Cortese - First Impressions
Arnosss,I also heard the Kensingtons at ILS being driven by Massetto/GM-70 combo and wow! when listening to jazz it was the most musical HiFI expirence I have had. But when we put on very dynamic classical orchestral material, the sound became sto... 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
I should add that when listening to the Nines, they where being driven by a Massetto/Montrachet during one listening session and a Massetto/Cortese in an other listening session and a Pathos TT in yet another session.Jet 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
I heard The 0/96 with Haut Brion and they didnt sound like the Nines to me. The O's seemed to have more body/richness and weight.Jet 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
Heard the Orangutan in NYC about a month ago with Shindo Masseto, Haut Brion and Well tempered TT. Good robust body to the sound. Weighty and authoritative. Musicians were in the room. 
Devore Nines or Zu Presence for large room
When shopping for speakers a year ago I could have lived with Devore Nines for the strengths they possess which for me is a very natural detail retrieval, an inviting beautiful sound and they matched well with my 35 watt amp. The fact they are bui... 
Devore Nines or Zu Presence for large room
Glory,I went with Audio Note AN-e with HE woofers. The deciding factors were slightly better dynamics as compared to IMO polite Devore Nines. Corner placement gets them out of the way ~ Wife apporved. Did not have a chance to hear ZU.Jet 
ayon cd 07
Has anyone heard the 07 and its more expensive relatives? 
is the Montille a real Shindo?
Pallexia,I can relate my experience hearing a Masseto Pre/Shindo GM70 driving Tannoy Kensingtons. It was the most amazing experience when listening to Jazz or Chamber music. Crystal clear and supremely musical. But when listening to more complex o... 
ayon cd 07
Have not heard its more expensive silbings, but have heard the CD-07. Nice air and weight around instruments, 3D presentation, transparent and palpable but with no tube bloat. Nice musicality and tight bass. Doesnt flow like vinyl would be my only... 
Matching with Audio Note speakers
I can awnser my oun question. Heard the Pathos TT with AN-E SPe HE at Amherst Audio.Bob Niel is a great guy and fun to listen to music with.The combo was really nice! Wonderful sweet extended highs. Warm detailed Mids and colorful deep lows. 
Comments on Tannoy Kensington SE - Room size
Mulveling,2nd system is a cool idea. Islandmandan, who has an amazing Tannoy system based on the HPD 315's and cabinets he designed, has given me some very fruitful ideas on how to build a system from scratch by buying used Tannoys Drivers. This w... 
Comments on Tannoy Kensington SE - Room size
Mulveling,This is very depressing to hear because I could have become a Tannoy devotee. I absolutly love these speakers. But I have a Pathos Twin Towers (30 watts)and have no plans to change amps and I listen to alot of Classical Orchstral stuff. ...
