| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 @Iar, at that price point you could also buy an Audia Flight FLS-10 integrated which is on the warm/musical side & has almost twice the power of the Diablo 120, including more than twice the total capacitance. All Magico speakers like plenty o... | |
| New speakers for my system @tomic601 Infinity Systems certainly changed direction in terms of their speaker designs following Arnie Nudell’s departure in 1989, no longer producing boxless dipole speakers. The rights to the EMI drivers were also split between Harmon and Arni... | |
| New speakers for my system @joey_v I respect you as an audiophile, so I take your point. On a personal level I think McGowan is a tool. I (used) to be FB friends with him until he took serious offence to a humorous photo I posted of a guy chomping a giant Denny’s burger. Se... | |
| New speakers for my system @joey_v I generally agree with you, though Arnie and Paul already did a lot of work on PS Audio’s new speakers before he passed, even producing a one-off reference shown in that video. And Paul has said he will only release a new speaker when it i... | |
| New speakers for my system Fair enough. The larger Maggies do need a good size room, and even front wall for the dipole radiation. When you mentioned you bi-amp, I thought you (may) have enough power to drive them properly, hence the mention.I haven’t heard Vandersteen spea... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 @htan8744, Cheers. I was curious as the RI-101 has only been released in the last few months, and is substantially better than it’s predecessor. @denon1 I’m not 100% sure. The amp is $22k in Australia, £11800 in the UK and circa €14000,00 in Italy... | |

| New speakers for my system I’m a great believer in less is more, because you can focus more on quality. If you like Dipole speakers and that wall of sound, and have plenty of power bi-amping, you could get into a pair of Maggie 20.7’s for under $10k used. They’re better val... | |
| Timbernation Rack - Very Pleased Just wondering if anyone has compared Timbernation racks to Massif Audio Design? | |
| One DAC/integrated you could be happy with forever? If you mean Integrated amp with an optional dac module, Vitus SIA-030. | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? Is this thread serious? | |
| Soulution vs Boulder vs TAD electronics vs MBL whi Lol, never underestimate the preparedness of A'goner's to resurect old, dormant threads! 🤣 | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 @htan8744, Just curious which model Vitus amps you've heard at audio shows? The reason being, there is a big jump in sound from the RI-100 to the new RI-101, and a further jump to the Signature series. | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 @Iar, I’d try to seek out an audition of an Audio Flight FLS-10 which is in your budget. I’d rate that amp higher than Accuphase or Luxman, and it’s not made in Taiwan. | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 @soix Even if the OP starts out with a used T&A amp (if that’s what he ends up doing), I think he’ll end up with something like a Vitus RI-101 as that integrated has uncanny synergy with the A3’s, and is absolutely effortless. Buy yes I recogn... |
