| Magico V2 vs. Q1 Thank you, Stereotaipei.I live in Hong Kong and I dont think S1 has arrived... I thought about it too given my room is small, so maybe I will wait and give it a listen.Your room and system looks mightily impressive!!!! | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 just to clarify, i was refering to reviewers in magazine - i read a few which says that the speaker produces the best bass among speakers of similar sizes... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 The dealer in my country would not permit in-house demo...People who write reviews tend to say along the lines that "given the physical size" the bass is tremendous... I am sure that's the case but it is such a big caveat. I listen to classical 99... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 Thanks. I actually listened in the dealer's room. Mids and highs are a huge improvement, but the room was 600+ sq feet and hence it's difficult to judge the bass.I had Wilson Duette before and didnt hv enough bass in my room (170 sq feet), hence a... | |
| Ayre C-5xe gone wonky Is there any update for K-1xe too? | |
| Anyone had an Ayre xe version updated to MP yet? I have had my C-5xe upgraded. The difference is substantial: better focus, larger soundstage, imaging improved considerably. In all, it brings me much closer to the music...At USD200 I cannot think of a better investment... | |
| Any experience with Ayre L5-Xe Power Conditioner? I bought the L-5xe yesterday. Initial impression is very good. much quieter background, and no change in tonal balance. How long would it take to burnt in the unit? | |
| Anyone owns the mbl 116? I finally bought the MBL 116 this week. It is still being run-in (driven by Ayre MX-R mono), and so far the result has been very positive: big soundstage (even in my small room), piano very dynamic and real-life. Ayre is definitely powerful enough... | |
| Anyone owns the mbl 116? are there any MBL users using solid state electronics (other than MBL amps)? I use Ayre MX-R monoblock and I wonder whether the sound may be too or "neutral" for MBL 116 (which seems to like warmer electronics, like MBL amps or tubes)....Thanks | |
| Feedback on new Ayre MX-R Monoblocks Hi JohnI own the MX-R monoblock as well, and you are right, it sounds very accurate and natural - although it's not warm/full bodied like the tube-amp, it doesn't sound dry in any way. I am also extremely happy with them...May I ask what cables do... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso -vs- Ayre K-1Xe preamps? I have not made a direct comparison of the two, but I am an owner of the Calypso and hv quite a lot of experience with Ayre gear (I used to own K3/V3 and now own its SACD player). I absolutely agree with those points raised by others in this threa... | |
