| Amp with best bass control 08-17-13: MbovairdThanks everyone!I'm leaning toward the Soulution 501 monos. Thoughts?If you're considering mono blocks, you should also look at the similarly priced D'Agostino Momentum mono's. I'm perfectly happy with my Boulder 1060 at half the... | |
| experiment with isolation?? I've used a few different products. I had good success using an Acoustic Revive RST-38 board under my Ayon CD-5s. The sound become more natural, liquid and lively. I've also used Wally feet (similar to Harmonix tuning feet) which are quite good. W... | |
| Amp with best bass control 08-16-13: Audiolabyrinth@ p59teitel,,competitive fanboy postings notwithstanding!, you hit the nail on the nailhead!, lol!, Ha, ha, Ha!Well that just goes to show...small things amuse small minds. | |
| Amp with best bass control 08-16-13: AudiolabyrinthI would say check the latest reviews...I also will add, todays reviews mean nothing but a interest for an audition, these reviewers are payed good money to say what ever is good for the company!Firstly, don't comment on Bou... | |
| Amp with best bass control Well I would calmly vote for the Boulder 1060 as I know it well. This amp has enormous power reserves and delivers 600 watts @4ohms and has a damping factor of around 4000! The 1060 is also fast thanks to it's vast array of output transistors and ... | |
| Avalon Compas @Wpc, I spoke to Lucien at Avalon around 22 April & he advised me Hifi News will be reviewing the Compás Ceramic version in the coming weeks. They were due to receive the speakers by the end of April. Stereo Sound Magazine did a review of the ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Criterion vs Soulution 720 Thanks Guido, I certainly will. Mind you, I am busy for the rest of this year with other purchases, so for now my Boulder amps will be doing duties. But as we know audiophile time is like dog years. The word I am hearing is the M825 is special &am... | |
| Jeff Rowland Criterion vs Soulution 720 Thanks for your feedback Guido. The M825 delivers exactly the maximum recommended power for the Compas (750 watts @4 ohms), so I think it would have excellent control and sound effortless driving the Compas. Avalon are stage and imaging champs, so... | |
| Avalon Compas @WPC, Avalon told me Hifi News are receiving a pair of the Compas ceramic version this week and will be reviewing them in the coming weeks. Apparently Compas did not appear at the New York show as the NY Dealer had not yet received a pair. I guess... | |
| Jeff Rowland Criterion vs Soulution 720 Guido, do you have a sense how you think the M825/Corus amps would sound with Avalon speakers..in particular the new Compas? As i'm sure you're aware, the Compas speakers were debuted in Hong Kong paired with M925 mono's.Cheers,Melbguy. | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE 04-15-13: Aprica88Any Final thought? will be purchasing this week.I thought I would interupt the Tannoy love-in and suggest another option you may not have considered; the new Avalon Compas which retails at the same price. Avalon have always sound... | |
| Avalon Compas 04-12-13: WattsperchannelMelb,Thanks. I had read a forum refernce to the $50K and thought it was out of line. I wasn't able to find a credible reference until yours. Thx.Yes I was told by Avalon that the Compás Diamond edition will be a "bit more ... | |
| Avalon Compas @Wpc, I noticed one blog posted a msrp on the Compas Diamond of $50k, however based on my discussions with Avalon I believe that is not correct. The msrp for Compas Diamond should be around $41k. | |
| Avalon Compas Siddh, the first thing to mention is that Avalon don't do 'one off' or special orders on their speakers, so you wouldn't be able to order the ED with the CELL concept midrange & tweeter. And I wouldn't recommend modifying a pair of ED's. For o... | |
| Avalon Compas @Wattsperchannel, sorry I misread your post and thought you were advertising a sale on the Tidals! I agree the Compas offers great value compared to the Contriva Diacera & Avalon are using newer drivers. |
