| The best speaker you ever heard? The new Diablo Utopia (Utopia III line) is certainly the best stand mounted 2-way I have heard. | |
| Jethro Tull questions... BTW, I very much enjoy Tull's live 1992 release entitled A Little Light Music. Stripped down (mostly acoustic) arrangements with the Fairport rhythm section of Dave Pegg (bass/mandolin) and Dave Mattacks (drums). A high quality recording with a so... | |
| Jethro Tull questions... I really enjoy the last five Fairport studio releases starting with 1997's appropriately named Who Knows where the Time Goes through 2007's Sense of Occasion. These are all exceptionally well recorded with production values and arrangements that a... | |
| What components are manufactured in the U.S.A.? What about Thiel? Art Audio | |
| Jethro Tull questions... Are any Tull enthusiasts also fans of Faiport Convention? Lots of cross pollination between these two musical organizations. FC members who have recorded with Tull include Dave Pegg (bass/mandolin), Martin Allcock (keys), Dave Mattacks (drums), Ge... | |
| Focal Diablo Utopia in HiFi+ Phaelon, I am very suspect about the bass capabilities of a 4.5 inch cone. That being said, I know that driver is a technological tour -de-force. What amplifier did you hear on the Ayra's? | |
| Jethro Tull questions... Crest of a Knave is great musically, Ian's singing was purposely dumbed down so that he could get through the live performances after having gone through some vocal problems in the mid-80's. Sonically the best studio album IMO is The Jethro Tull C... | |
| Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF Tidal Amea, Raidho Ayra C1.0 or Focal Diablo Utopia. All state of the art IMO. | |
| Jethro Tull questions... Well here is something I know about as my very good mate Dave Pegg played bass/mandolin in this organization from 1979-1995. If you like Aqualung and care about sound quality, then by all means pick up Aqualung Live which was recorded for a studio... | |
| AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II Well it sounds like the Diablo's are the winner of the group purely based on price considerations. Heard anything about Raidho's Ayra loudspeakers? | |
| AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II Frankpiet, what did you think of the Diablo's upper octave response (with the new generation beryllium tweeter)? Also, are you certain that the Diablo's were sufficiently broken in? | |
| AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II To that end perhaps you should consider Ayra speakers by Eben (Denmark). The C 1.0 has recieved some very favorable press although I have a hard time believing that a 4.5 inch bass driver will provide an adequate low end. | |
| AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II I believe that the Diablo's retail for $14,500 in the US and that would include stands. Frankpiet, it seems to me that EU manufactured products would provide you with the best value. | |
| AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II Frankpiet,I will be most interested to hear your report on the Diablo Utopia. Again, the hi-fi sound that you heard in earlier generations (which I also heard) was not there at all. What I heard was amazing soundstage depth and upper octave transp... | |
| AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II Franpiet, the Utopia line is now in its series III and offers vastly improved driver technology, cabinet construction and crossover design. The original Utopia line (circa 1995/6) featured a version of the inverted aluminum dome that Wilson uses n... |
