Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3
I think we should give the Hegel H590 a chance to show itself against the competition. 
KEF Blade or Giya Kaya 90/G4?
I just made a decision today that puts an end to my ramblings about my speaker search for the office (a lot of wasted speaker research). Today, I messaged an A'Gon member with KEF Blade2 in a small room, 14 x 13. He told me his impressions, he has...

KEF Blade or Giya Kaya 90/G4?
@crwindy  I emailed Hans Wetzel about the G4 and a small room and he said it would fit but he recommended the Kaya 45 and save some cash. The Kaya line (per Vivid) is supposed to image better. I sometimes see the Giyas toed in almost 45 degrees. E... 
KEF Blade or Giya Kaya 90/G4?
@fleschler  I was at a S. Cal dealer event where they had a Wilson rep and Dan D'??? and his Momentum amps. The Wilsons being demoed were the most expensive in the line. I started talking with the Wilson rep and my wife (who is not into audio) wal... 
Aurilac Vega G2 vs Aries G2
@david_ten Thanks for the link.@shadorne The wireless approach was always a preferred way for me. However, I have jumped through hoops to go direct Ethernet because of past criticisms of Wifi (going through house copper wires, rendu, etc..). I am ... 
dCS Dealer recommendations and dCS Network Bridge impressions
@david_ten  I see your point about the quality of the DAC end point. I will need to do some research on the ROON forum. 
dCS Dealer recommendations and dCS Network Bridge impressions
@david_ten If you have a Roon endpoint on your DAC do you need a Rendu if the DAC has Ethernet and there is also a ROON server on the network? 
Aurilac Vega G2 vs Aries G2
I was researching these units today and was wondering how good the Ethernet direct into the Vega G2 is. Aurilac seems to prefer wireless, so I was wondering if the Vega's Ethernet is the best connection option? 
KEF Blade or Giya Kaya 90/G4?
I have heard the Giya Spirit G1 (or whatever the current top model is called) and it sounded incredible. It was driven by excellent Luxman SS gear (over $200k system). This was just immediately after I heard the Blade 1 driven by Hegel gear ($40K ...

Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5
@bo1972 I understand that English is not your first language but your passion for audio come through to me. Thanks for taking your valuable time to converse.@audiotroy  I cannot make it to NYC area due to having a toddler to take care of. Going to... 
Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5
@fast Thanks for the advice. I love the KEF sound and I am trying my best to not buy the KEF;s for my office floorstander. The reason being I already have the LS50 in the bedroom and will have the Blade in the living room. Funny thing is I have no... 
Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5
@bo1972  I will keep that in mind about the Blades. However, getting back to my original question about room dimensions for the Monitor Audio speakers. What are the room size guidelines you follow for placing a 200ii, 300ii, and 500ii? 
Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5
@bo1972 The reason I have included the 200ii in my search is because of comments by owners that it sounds like the KEF Blade a very holographic speaker. That is one that places the performers and instruments in identifiable positions (if they were...
