| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva Thanks for your kind words Lloyd. I am not familiar with the Tripoint Troy Signature. It is certainly an expensive piece of kit, though it seems to perform a similar function to the PC-3 SE Evo. Personally I don't have the space for so many boxes,... | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva @Dasign, congrats on your restored Duetta Sigs! Now that they've had a full resto incl: Graz ribbons, how would you rate your Sigs up against the TSW Diva Ultimates? Am with you on the Estate instructions! | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva Lloyd, congrats, you have a unique and super nice system. I think i've seen it before on a forum possibly. The Colosseum is a lovely sounding amp apparently, as is the Zanden components, and you have the full stack! Roysen sold a 4 box set earlier... | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva The S5's and Constellation is a good match up, though the best synergy Alon found with the Magico S series was with Vitus Signature and Masterpiece series amps as used at CES. VA & Magico have uncanny synergy. Which Gryphon amp do you run Lloy... | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva Lloyd, those are some awesome systems you heard & amongst the best in the world. Though personally if cost was no object and I wanted to go all-out on tri-amping the Arrakis, i'd run 3 Vitus MP-S201's connected to a Vitus MP-L201 linestage.Yea... | |
| solid state integrateds that will hold their value "Yamaha Natural Sound"...isn't that an oxymoron? :D | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva Lloyd, another speaker I didn't mention (mainly due to its amp-killing reputation :o) is the 1 ohm Apogee Scintilla. But you need a lot of iron to drive those gorillas! :) Given an adequate size listening room, the Genesis 1.1's would be my dream ... | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva Can anyone who has experience with Apogee's and Infinity IRS speakers describe how refurbed Diva's stand up against the Infinity IRS-Gamma, Beta and/or IRS-V? Cheers. | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva Yeah i've read the TSW Duetta Signature Ultimates are more room friendly & give the Diva Ultimates a good run for their money (especially in the bass). Congrats on your Sigs Ptm! | |
| First foray into Class A amp -- recommendations Mtrot, I wouldn't get too hung up on Class A biasing to be honest, it is mostly marketing bs. For your budget, I would look around for a 2nd hand Modwright KWA-150SE. I saw one on the 'Gon last year in excellent condition asking $3300. The Modwrig... | |
| YG Acoustics Hailey 1.2 Ptss, yes Magico used COMSOL computer modelling to assist in designing the S5's. The front facia is made from a solid billet of 1/2" thick CNC-machined pure T6061 aluminium which provides a very solid platform for the drivers to work in perfect pi... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? 09-11-14: CtsoonerHave you ever heard the Vandy 7's? If not, you should give them a listen as they are some of the best sounds I've heard and I have heard tons of the larger speakers on the market and have for many years now. The Vandy's have soun... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? 08-13-14: After_hrsElectrical synergy that translates to emotional and component harmony is key. As we all know a speaker is only as good as what the amplifier is doing for it primarily and what the room is doing additionally.You raised a good poi... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? 08-05-14: Lloydelee21Agree!!! I have a good friend with 3 awesome systems...Genesis 1.1s (basically the next generation of Infinity IRS Vs) are one of his flagship speakers (Tidal Sunrays and Marten Coltrane Supremes are his other 2!!).Lloyd, is t... | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva I agree Dkarmeli, they are amazing speakers. I would love to own a refurbished pair of TSW Apogee Diva Ultimates one day if I buy a new home & set up a dedicated listening room. The Diva Ultimates require careful setup & a treated listenin... |
