| B & W 800D Dear Cyrus I have heard the speaker and it is very very good, but can be equalled at a lower price point. The Manger 103/3 is a solution or the Manger Swing with 2 subs. | |
| Time to move on, Quad, Coincident or Ref 3a Please consider the Manger Zerobox 109, or if the space and budget allows a Zerobox 103/3. | |
| Amp's suggestions for B&W Nautilus Prestige? My apologies, not the 606 but the 501s and all the reference Krells and the ARCs. I recommend the Phonosopie only because the situation demands an active setup. Let me put it this way, the Krells, ARC and the Jeffs make Kari Bremnes sound like top... | |
| Amp's suggestions for B&W Nautilus Prestige? Well I have the advantage of hearing all of the products above, and can tell you, it really takes a lot of guts to recomend a niche European brand versus the big guns. The reason behind this is simple , the Phonosophie sounds better, especially in... | |
| Amp's suggestions for B&W Nautilus Prestige? Get rid of the Wadia and ARC, and get yourself the entire top of the line Phonosophie gear.Superb mature sound. | |
| The right room. 26.2'x 16.2'x 10' | |
| Sealed Loudspeakers? The entire range from Manger employs sealed enclosures. | |
| Isophon Cassiano or what? Dear Smaj,I can understand your response for the Gamut speakers. But I can tell you this, if one puts some effort in setting up a Gamut L5 loudspeaker, the results can be fantastic. Do they have flaws? Yes, but which speaker doesn't? Do take the e... | |
| Sealed Subwoofer Recommendation Try the Manger subwoofer.Tight and fast. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I heard the flagship OSS system.Klaus Heinz the owner gave a demo to a select few. Sitting in the sweet spot, you would be hard pressed to think that such a big speaker could become so correctly proportioned on solo violin and still blow the rafte... | |
| What speakers can b considered as world reference? In my experience, the fantastic control room in Focus Recording Copenhagen, is a world reference. The custom monitoring designed by Ole Lund Christensen simply makes a mockery of every high end setup I have ever heard, including those costing thre... | |
| Anyone familiar with the Manger driver? Dear Derek,I would say good for him, as he is doing something in his products that seems to have many in the audio world admiring them. I will put it like this, let Overkill do what it is doing best,i.e making a radical product at an approachable ... | |
| Anyone familiar with the Manger driver? All I can say is, Manger, either love them or loathe them. I am in the previous camp.As I said earlier Derek, you have taken a brave path, hope you reach your goal financially, because in the end it is all about the money.Sphere. | |
| Anyone familiar with the Manger driver? Dear Derek,I must congratulate you on the progress you have made with the product line over the past 2-3 years. There was a point, when I really feared that the unforgiving commercial audio mafia would not allow a shinning light like Overkill Audi... | |
| Isophon Cassiano or what? Well judging from the pictures, you have a small to mid sized room. This means all the above discussed flagships may have trouble in your room. There are two roads to this, a mid sized loudspeaker i.e 7" woofer tops, or a full sized speaker with a... |
