Murgeskj - Regarding the numbers of hrs for break - in are you referring o AVS? If so I'm OctaDyn_Dude. Please understand I am talking about Raidho 'D' series. For me I had a pair of D1's and put on 2000 hrs. Then upgraded to D2's. The D1's had ap...

I've always said they sound higher than their price point. The only real downside is placement. If you get that right they will sound fantastic. Get it wrong and they will sound OK. But as far as driving them it shouldn't be too hard. On another f...

Jjue - For grins and giggles have you tried removing the bass traps now that you have about 100 hrs on them? Although you may want to wait until you hit 150hs. I think Missioncoonery mentioned a drop in SQ when they hit 125 hrs. With my D2's the b...

Ansuz, Mainz D8 and cables
I was at a private demo with Lars K and heard the Ceramic Power Cord get replaced with the Diamond from wall to MainzD8. So I agree with the best you can afford from the wall to Mainz. It was huge. This demo was D5's being driven by Soulution inte... 
Ansuz, Mainz D8 and cables
I have the MainzD8 - Ceramic power cords and speaker cables. The MainzD8 is something special. It is highly recommended with Ansuz power cords. Because the design focuses on the grounding of the system. The day I got the MainzD8 I also got the Aav...

Review: Dynaudio Contour 3.4 LE Speaker
It's hard not to like the Dyn house sound regardless of model. I had the C1's then upgraded to the C1 Signatures when the first shipment made it to the USA. I had only seen pictures and didn't listen to them. The first thing I noticed with the Sig... 
Octave Audio integrated amplifiers
The black box or super black box will lower the noise floor and yield a bit more headroom (depends on how many drivers per speaker). But if you are trying to get more punch in the bass at high listening levels that would be a characteristic of tub...

Riced1 - I can't speak for the C series because I have never heard them. I have the D2's. I have heard the Scansonics several times. They each have their own 'house sound'. The tweeter in the Scansoncs is very close to Raidho D and X series. The s...

Jjue Congrats on the NEW arrival. When my dealer first got them he had about 25 hrs on them and had a little get together. We listened to the MB1 - 2.5 - 3.5 Raidho X1 and Dyn Contour 3.4LE's. We all came back to the 2.5's as the best bang for the... 
Liquid Midrange' - strong side of which tube amps?
I myself can name just one – Octave Audio V 70 integratedWhich output tubes did the Octave V70 have? The most liquid sounding tubes I had in mine were the EL 34's and original Tung Sol 6550 black or grey plates. The EL 34's did lack the lows. The ...
