Reasonably sensitive speakers for tube amps, max $2k/pair, new or used
Martin Logan motion ESL! 
Anyone here with Magico A3 driven by Bel Canto Ref600's?
I have a question for Audio Troy can the Coda No 8 stereo amp image as good as ref 600 monos. Steven be Stone said they were exceptional at this same as Pass 150.5! Btw I'm a sucker for holographic imaging!😆 
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
Teo_MusicYou wrote" your ear brain need to readjust to finding music in the noise.I think you have it backwards! New class D amps like Purifi or the Benchmark AHB2 has sinad well below the threshold of audibility.Now if a person prefers say a clas...

Perfect combo is Conrad Johnson Et3se with Pass xa25! Enjoy 😃 
Two defective pieces in a row - unreasonable to demand refund?
I think third time's the charm😉 
100 watts enough?
CH Precision is nice smooth sound but if it clips it will like an Adcom lol. Since you in market for new amp look for something like 300 watts and doubles down from there & stable into 2 ohms. Or you can get new more efficient speakers! ☺️ 
BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA
I call Sasha a "pretty" sounding speaker it ticks all of those audiophile boxes in terms of what a speaker should do like detail, bass and soundstaging. Doesn't sound like live music but tries gives it's best interpretation. Heard it best with Sim... 
What are your opinions of Sim Audio amplifiers?
I like Simaudio may get 330a amp to power my new speakers Motion ESL. Well plain and simple gear is going up insanely is because manufacturers figured out if we are willing to pay $2k for a power cord than a $15k amp is reasonable. This mark up is... 
Wilson Audio Sabrina X Reviewed ! WOW
I am familiar with original Sabrina where highs were rolled off at least compared to Sasha. Are the X better now? 
Full Range Drivers
What do I think of full range drivers? I have one in my car sounds pleasant but not sound like live music! Enjoy ☺️ 
Blindfold Speaker testing
Blindfold testing is not a good way of testing. You need set up a room with a transparent screen with appropriate lighting so you can’t see the speaker behind it. Take your recordings of say piano, human voice, drums etc and pick the most accurate... 
The best tweeter is no tweeter
I have Maggie's and AMT done by Monitor Audio latest series. They sound hifi nice but don't sound real! I haven't heard Cube Audio single driver but doubt they can to treble better than ESL! Enjoy😃 
Speakers The single most critical component
It's the room, speaker and source! Enjoy ☺️ 
martin logan vs magnepan sound
I still own Maggie 1.7i and recently got a Martin Logan motion ESL at a great price! As I was longing for the sound of the violin I once heard with ML that I don't get with my Maggie's, Harbeths, or Audio Note! For treble ESL hands down especially...
