Red Rose Music Rosebud I VS . II
I recently asked Red Rose this very same question and they indicated, without much more detail, that the MKI was better than the Spirit but was seriously improved upon in the MKII. Probably worth trying to take a listen. 
Money no object,,,,which speakers would you own???
Looks: Linkwitz OrionAppeal: Ascendo Z 
"Polyamping" A Look to the Future or Fancy Fad?
I too haven't had the time to read this entire thread but have been thoroughly enjoying the Orions for several months with the recommended ATI amp. My comparisons with more conventional speakers and amps would be the Verity Parcifal Encores, Maggi... 
Loudspeaker DIY Kits any suggestions???
www.Linkwitzlab.com : The Orions are FABULOUS! 
Maggie 3.6 vs. Talon Khorus?
I'll be the contarian of the group. I purchased the Khoruses after the Maggie 3.6s because I found the Maggie's lack of bass unable to live with. The Maggies do several things better than the Talons, including their wonderful airy quality and the ... 
Talon Khorus - Why So Many So Cheap?
I've owned the Verity Parcifal Encores, Magnepan 3.6s, Usher 8871s, Khoruses (in that order), currently live with a DIY speaker called the Orion by Linkwitz and have listened extensively to at least 10 speakers retailing over $10,000. That said, I... 
Anyone heard the Usher speakers?
I owned the 8871s and loved them. They are beautiful though very big (about 53 inches high and 200lbs) and are very coherent and dynamic. They are definitely a best buy for the money and I think are in the same league as the verity parcifals and T... 
Anyone familiar with the Audio Physic Avanti lll??
I gave the Avanti IIIs a short listen this week in New York (too short to be taken very seriously) and found they had a wonderful soundstage but lacked overall coherence and one might say saturation or weight. They are beautiful though. During the... 
Where to buy copper slug for Hydra?
Go directly to Shunyata for the copper slug, as I believe they carry it. 
my Talon Khorus sounds bad
I would take Talon's advice and first call them for guidance. You may have a undiagnosed problem with the speaker or it could be something as simple as room placement. I have had the Khoruses for over a year and if anything, they excel at being dr... 
Stealth Ultimate Ribbon Speaker cables.. How Good?
I have these in 12ft length and I think they are terrific. They are superior to other cables I have used including: JPS Super2s and Transparent Ref XL. I am using them with Talon Khorus speakers. 
Why so many Hydra's for sale
I was one of those listing the Hydra for sale (same unit with two listings). The only reason for the sale was that I already had a Hydra, bought a second Hydra thinking I would use two and then decided (with some additional coaxing from my signifi... 
ESSENCE AUDIO info????
I just purchased a pair of used Essence amps which I am running with the Talon Khorus speakers. I recently sold my Tact Milleneum amp which itself was terrific but the essence mono amps(my amps have been upgraded by Dale)are several steps above th...
