| Wilson Sasha, SF Amati Anniversario, Thiel CS3.7 SET amp for Wilsons? I thought they are quite tough to drive. Speaking of SET amps, I forgot to mention in my original post that I will be listening to the Sasha, Amati and Thiel CS3.7 using the Avantgarde/SET combo as my benchmark because they ha... | |
| Wilson Sasha, SF Amati Anniversario, Thiel CS3.7 Thanks guys for the replies. Yes, I intend to upgrade my speakers and amp together. I will be auditioning these three at 2 different dealers. At the first dealer, I will be listening to the Thiel CS3.7 paired with Parasound JC2 pre and JC1 power a... | |
| Need your thoughts on these Thanks Dwhitt. I forgot to mention that I'll be listening to the Amati and Wilson using the Avantgarde/SET amp setup as my benchmark. So far, the Avantgarde has made the deepest impression on me. | |
| Wilson Sasha , Avalon Indra or Magico V3? Wow, the OP's question is exactly the question that's been burning in my mind. So my question is answered by the replies.One further question though - Spectral gear is very fast and neutral so would it be better to partner them with something warm... | |
| My findings on Magico V2.....what now? Rtn1, what amp do you partner your Thiels with? I don't necessarily have to go for SET amps/preamps. I'm thinking of Pass XA.5 series or the Parasound JC1/JC2. | |
| My findings on Magico V2.....what now? Hehe....now I know that if I want to start a thread that would elicit lots of responses, all I have to do is either praise a Magico product sky-high or say something not so favorable about it!I'm not trying to knock on Magico (#1 in Ebm's eyes). L... | |
| My findings on Magico V2.....what now? Nolitan, I did bring my own set of favourite CDs to audition the Magicos. I just couldn't get into the music, even with my favourite CDs! It sounded totally uninvolving. For example, I couldn't hear the timbre and character of the piano played by ... | |
| My findings on Magico V2.....what now? I sure have a lot of work to do....probably even more than you guys in the US. Because each dealer in my country carries only 3 or 4 makes so it's virtually impossible for me to audition electronics and speakers head-to-head. For example, now I wa... | |
| My findings on Magico V2.....what now? The Soulution equipment is definitely run-in. So is the V2, for sure.Yep Bvdiman, that's the dealer. It's the only dealer carrying Magico in Malaysia. I didn't try them with other cable makes. Guess I was overawed by the whole set-up (the cables, ... | |
| Pass or Spectral Hi Sergio, hope you don't mind me piggyriding on this thread.I've been made to understand that the Magicos go well with either Spectral or Soulution amps. In fact, the Magico dealer in my country uses Soulution amps to drive them. Well, Soulution ... | |
| Amp to match Avantgarde Uno G2 horn speakers Thanks Tjnif. Wow, why do you need to run your Klipsch with 200wpc since they have about the same sensitivity rating as the Avantgarde? | |
| Amp to match Avantgarde Uno G2 horn speakers Thanks guys for sharing your thoughts....very helpful! | |
| Speakes for SET amp Yeah you're right Jax2, they are $27k. I heard them last week driven by Audionote Meishu SET amp (Class A 9wpc). The source was an Esoteric SA-60. The sound easily trumped my current set-up of Primare I30 amp/CD31 cdp/PMC FB1i. I haven't heard Aca... | |
| Speakes for SET amp Nakonawala, have a listen to the Avantgarde-Acoustic Uno G2. They are horn speakers with a sensitivity of 104dB and have active woofers. They may just fit your bill exactly. | |
| Magico V2 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M Verity Audio dealer in KL? Not that I know of. And that goes for Quad, Maggies, Martin Logan and Soundlab. So you see....my choices are pretty limited :( |
