Use Your Own Ears
B_limo,You've said it better than I did, "I think my assesment of components within my system will now be strongly based on how I feel while listening to music. Is it involving? Does it draw me in? Does my mind constantly wander onto something els... 
Use Your Own Ears
Shakeydeal,"You make it sound as though one is chopped liver and the other is prime rib." No, I made the statement to say, I've owned different types of dynamic speakers, horn vs cone. I could have said, I've owned DeVore, Mirage, B&W, Artemis... 
Clear Day w Solid State, any users and impressions
I had them with SS and I submit they are very good and you must spend considerably more money to get minimum improvement. I currently have Silver Audio cables and I believe they sound like the recording. If it's recorded well it shows and if it's ... 
New Rega Apollo-R
Sunnyjim,I went from the Apollo to Apollo-R. To my ears I really can't say there is a big difference. I sold my Apollo-R because it struggles tracking imperfect disc. 
Wilson Alexia - what's the competition
Jfrech,I really don't understand why you feel the need to question what I hear. It's pretty simple, you have your preference and I have my preference. You say many people don't describe Rocport's they way I do. I submit many people on blogs have n... 
Wilson Alexia - what's the competition
Audioconnection,I always include the phrase: there are no absolutes in Audio...everyone has a preference! I think it's funny that your quick to connect the "dark sound" to Transparent cables. I'm not suggesting "dark sound" is bad, it's just not m... 
Wilson Alexia - what's the competition
Soix,My wife and I listened to Aviors connected to Nagra electronics, DCS stack, and Transparent speaker cable. In the context of that system and that room Avior's sound on the dark side of neutral. My wife and I submit Sasha's are neutral in comp... 
Wilson Alexia - what's the competition
Everyone hears differently and I haven't heard the Alexia's, but I've heard Rockport Aviors and Sashas in the same room. I preferred Sashas and I've heard Alexia's sound better than Sasha's. 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Bo1972,Your argument is that Wilson is some how unique, requiring acoustic treatment, expensive amplifiers, and proper placement to sound best...While at the same time you said,"I do not think Densen is a great match with Monitor Audio. Because it... 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Bo1972,"Wilson does not say; hey you need a big room and acousticly adapt it to get a good sound", no manufacture does, that's what the dealer is for. Wilson dealers and other dealers are there to advise on set-up, and what speaker works best for ...

Bifwynne,I'm putting them in their crates now! To deviate from this thread for a second...I'm thinking about the Audio Research Ref CD8 as my next move...did you compare it to anything else prior to purchase? What source did you own prior to the R... 
"What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?"
It would be helpful if you provided your room dimensions. What are your priorities? 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Bo1972,you go on and on about how Wilson's need so much to get them to sound good and then you say, "To get everything out of the Pl-200 you need an amp which can give an extreme wide and deep stage", I get a wide and deep stage with the Densen an... 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
I found a dealer that carries the P1-200s that's relatively close to me. I will be taking my amp, preamp, and cables to listen to the P1-200s. I'll be sure to provide my honest feedback. 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Bo1972,Considering what I paid,I'm actually happy with my system. Have you ever heard Densen with Sasha's? I listen to contemporary Jazz and some old R&B. When the recording permits, the image has depth and extends outside of the speakers. Hav...
