I think I've made up my mind
Pubul57, you have a point. Perhaps I should have left it to one adjective 'dull' and not try to overemphasize it. 
I think I've made up my mind
In my humble opinion, the Ref 3 is an extremely dull sounding preamp. I wouldn't trust any speaker evaluation with it. 
Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3
Initially I moved the Sophia 2's out of the room when I got the V2s, but as I still use the Sophia 2's for movies, I now keep them tucked in the front corners.When I watch a movie, I move the V2s off to the sides.Neither is ideal, but more of a pi... 
Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3
Hce4, thank you so much for contributing to the thread. Your post was very helpful.I think bass & palpability are the weak spots of the V2s. When I switch back to the Sophia 2's, the first thing that hits me is the character of the bass and th... 
Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3
I've been really enjoying the V2s, mostly because (and this doesn't match Ricred1's experience) I find them more balanced. I feel I'm hearing everything in the recording at proper levels whereas with the Sophia 2 the upper midrange frequencies are... 
Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3
I'm really hoping somebody can compare the V2s to the V3s... 
Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3
Wendell, I'm not describing the Sasha, I'm describing the Sophia 2 and wondering what characteristics of that speaker are retained in the Sasha - or put another way, what are the differences between the two? 
Wilson Sasha vs. Magico V3
I just want to say that I think Dave's last post here is right on the money in terms of how he describes the differences between Magico and Wilson. 
Wilson Sasha , Avalon Indra or Magico V3?
I was going to mention the same thing. If it were the V2, the comment might make sense. 
Wilson Sasha's - All evolution in Wilsons are.....
Thanks for your thoughts, Peter. 
Wilson Sasha's - All evolution in Wilsons are.....
Very interesting thread. I own Sophia 2's and have been eyeing the Sashas as the logical upgrade path, but haven't had good experiences when it comes to auditions. RMAF was kind of spotty (hard to tell in those small rooms) and a recent dealer aud... 
new Magico speakers the Q5
Finally, something in black! 
Rockport Mira VS Verity Parsifal Ovation
I found the Rockports to be incredibly tipped in the high end. Very very bright speakers with the highs somewhat disembodied with the mids. The Miras were very lean in the bass. 
who has experience with Joseph Audio?
One of the best speakers I heard at RMAF. 
Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe?
In my opinion, the VTL-150 won't work with the Sophia 2's. I have both (although in separate systems) and tried them together. Bass was F-L-A-B-B-Y. I'm guessing that amp doesn't have enough juice at 4ohms.I'm guessing you also don't want Ayre. I ...
