Prof:  boy will i be interested in your take on the Magicos.  They are so well built and i am going tomorrow to the same place and hear a demo by the Magico guy.  They sure seem very free of any coloration's based on my very short listening time.

hi Prof,   REL takes a totally different approach to subs than JL.   I am no  expert and am not very technically literate,  but one of my takeaways today was that REL  does not like the outboard crossovers that do what the JL does.  they want the ...

Prof:  i think that mid bass bloom is very addictive and i can see why she likes it.  but i find the articulation is better on the bigger ones and they do go deeper with less effort.   either speaker is amazing.   I heard a system today with a pai...

hi Prof,  boy it has been an interesting six weeks since i first got them.   first week or so, they were not very good.  they have improved enough that i prefer the sound of them over the 2.7's. for a point of reference i would assign the 2.7's a ...

just wanted to let everyone know i just posted my 2.7's for sale.  it was a tough call between them and the new 3.7's (my girlfriend likes the 2.7's better),  but ultimately i think the 3.7's are a better speaker.

hi Jafant,   my  entire system is PS and i could not be happier.   they have great customer service,  made in the USA,  and all the higher end stuff is fantastic (no experience with Stellar).  my system consists of their BHK preamp and amp,  the D...

hi guys,  regarding amps,   i have had great success with the PS Audio BHK stereo amp.   would love the mono blocks but they are not in the budget.  I am using it with both the 2.7's and 3.7's and it is really good with them.   Will be selling one...

thanks to Tom and everyone else.   I agree about the two speakers.   at this point of break in, my girlfriend likes the 2.7's better and wants to keep them.  I am very fussy about the sound of the cd's i have and  most are pretty well recorded,  a...

hi Guys,   I just acquired a beautiful set of demo 3.7's in maple.   They are breaking in and so it is too early to comment on the sound.  they can be pretty ragged at first but after a week they have improved a bunch.  I am going to eventually se... 
Anyone bought direct from ps audio and returned it?
I can only echo the comments above.   I have never used the return feature as i have never wanted to send them back.  However have had things repaired and they were very efficient and I think their customer service is outstanding.  Paul has a grea... 
PS Audio Power Plants
i would like to respond also to the comment above about what the PS tech guy said.  here is my response after doing a little homework. The newer designs use all new devices including outputs and drivers. These are much more robust and cut the outp...

As someone who has an entire system of PS Audio,  i am admittedly a bit prejudiced.  I have gone from a PPP, to a P5, to a P10 and each time was a noticeable improvement in sound.  If i would use one sentence,  it was that everything was more effo... 
Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps
I must confess i did not read all the posts above but wanted to chime in on the addition of the BHK preamp.   i too ran direct from the DSD to the BHK amp and it was terrific.  however the addition of the preamp was a major improvement in sound.  ...
