| Sonus Faber Olympica III or Vienna Acoustics Lists Definitely the Liszts. I heard them driven by Ayre AX-5 and it was a match made in heaven. If I had the $$ I would have bought both on the spot. The dealer swopped in the AX-7 and it drove them just fine, though, obviously, one could hear the supe... | |

| what speaker new or used for 5k? I'm trying to figure out what you mean by "congested". Is it that the sound is not analytical enough, or does it seem as if the speakers are overloading, i.e. that they can't handle passages of loud and/or complex music? Or??The VA Beethoven Baby ... | |
| up-to-date DAC with tubes and XLR output? Is anyone running the Cary 100t? | |
| Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS I listened fairly recently to the Super HL5 Plus hooked up to a mega-buck Naim rig. In the treble the sound was definitely not what I would call forgiving, and I didn't pursue the audition for very long. I have no way of evaluating his opinion, bu... | |
| Music Hall Ikura vs. Pro-ject 2Xperience Classic Anyone own an Ikura? | |
| Using solid copper Door Bell wire as speaker wire. There's also this.http://www.wireworldaudio.com/Comparator/index.html | |
| What is the future for Proac Speakers ? Modern Audio is indeed the distributor in the US. I had occasion to call there a few weeks ago, and during our brief conversation my primary sense of things was that the guy wanted to get off the phone as quickly as possible.In conversation with a... | |
| Multiple "sales" of EAR 324? Or you could buy it here!http://www.audio-markt.de/_markt/item.php?id=5215386443&audioauktion=9953053e5815efb0e929039e114a93c2 | |
| "forward' vs "laid back" speakers Interesting. Quite a quest! And I totally agree with your--for the moment--conclusion. At twice the price point that I was looking at, the Liszt is extraordinary: it's more like a much, much bigger brother to the Baby Grands than it is a bigger br... | |
| "forward' vs "laid back" speakers I don’t know if anyone will be interested in this ongoing saga, but here’s an update.I recently was able to audition a bunch more speakers: the VA Beethoven Concert Grand, Focal Aria 926, Harbeth Super HL5 Plus, PMC Twenty 24, PMC Twenty 23, PMC F... | |
| Totem Forest Signature -or- Spendor D7 In other posts I've written about how little my own listening impressions of speakers square with reviews in magazines. That holds true, to a large extent, with individuals here too. If you spend enough time here, you'll start to recognize just a ... | |
| Chapman Speakers? I auditioned the T-5s a few weeks ago. Good, all-round speaker. Good timbre, good imaging, good sound-stage, good bass response, not too forward, not too laid-back. Driven by Rogue electronics, but I didn't feel the room I was listening to them in... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Liszt - Fad or Future? There are three drivers in the bass unit. I think VA is referring to the topmost one of them. The larger driver in the head unit is a true midrange. | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Price range? Other constraints?The usual suspects. Most Class A, plus Ayre, Hegel, etc. Since you're in Canada, you should definitely check out Sugden.I hear M series NADs sound good, but bear in mind that the digital technology is going to have a... |
