Amir and Blind Testing
According to this thread, Amir has some shady practices. If you scroll down to post 10 or 11 Skem Yuno talks about a DAC that AMIR used for 21 years until he finally measure it and then decided to dump it. That is very weird if you ask me. So, jus... 
Amir and Blind Testing
I use to like Amir’s channel but not as much nowadays now that I’ve spent more time actually listening to gear he’s criticized just because of some data. He recently tested a piece of gear I’ve really enjoyed listening to for years and still do an... 
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
Magnepan’s don’t image well either and they have an equal amount of sound firing from the rear. I’ve owned the .7’s and the 901 series V. I never found the 901’s to sound remotely as bad as others make out. Also, I’d bet if I blind tested many, th... 
Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5?
caryking, thanks for the update. Yea, can't imagine that wouldn't drive them nicely. I think jjss49 is right. Looks like I'll just have to get them for myself. I'll most likely just head over to Upscale Audio and just pick up a pair. They said the...

01-23-2022 10:56am Andrew Robinson really liked them....but he liked the Heresy better.   These are KLH in name only......Henry is long gone,    They used to be right down the street from me in Westwood MA.  That was in the 80's.     One of the l...

caryking 18 posts 01-20-2022 11:56am I bought the KLH Model 5’s.  I’m sending them back as they didn’t meet my expectations.  I recognized the positives of the speaker (reviewers have talked about the positives); however, the negatives were far...

Thank you for sharing that. Yea I’ve seen all the YouTube videos but prefer to hear others opinions who don’t have a vested interest in subscribers.   
Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5?
Oh no there’s no issues there. I’ve posted plenty of videos and reviews on them already. I prefer the sound of the Heresy the way they are already. Not looking to change them, just curious how the KLH sound. For example if they sound like a more c...

May I ask what amp etc you drove them with?   
Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies?
I used the Parasound A23 Halo with my 1.7 Maggie’s And was blown away at how much power it had. More than enough power on tap. Bass sounded super clean, tight and controlled. I used an Aretha tube preamp. The newer A23+ has even more power than ol...
