| Best amp for KEF LS50 Bigridge,What type of sound do you like? The reason I ask is because I am close to buying the Benchmark amp to go with my KEF LS50 and Benchmark DAC2. Your dissatisfaction with the Benchmark is surprising to read since all the prior reports I have... | |
| Thiel 7.2 - Classe, Krell or Bryston? I heard these amps on sale here at A'Gon at the dealer (Bryston reps were demoing). They were driving Magico speakers costing over $150K. They sounded great then and will sound great with your Thiels. Now is a great time to buy a 28B-SST2).https:/... | |
| KEF Blade 2 as replacement for Reference 107/2 If you exclude the bass of the Blades (play something acoustic) and compare to the LS50 the Blades are still way better. The Blades disappear and give the best soundstage I have heard. It also has the largest sweet spot of any speaker I have heard... | |
| Devialet for Wilson Audio Sasha 2 Speakers To all the people complaining when a dealer posts here. "We" is not me. I personally love to hear dealer comments on A'Gon. I find that someone who spends the whole day dealing with audio related issues would have something interesting to say. I a... | |
| Kef 207/2 ---Kef Blades The Blades are awesome. I can only compare the Blades with the new KEF Reference line (the most expensive and least expensive models) and I find that the Reference line is very good but the Blades just disappear from the soundstage. That is the mo... | |
| Thiel speaker model range The CS 3,7 is one of the all time great speakers. Unfortunately, I never had the space for it. You could find it used for some eye popping low prices.When Jim died I lost interest in Thiel since they went a different direction with their designs. | |

| Luxman Audio Gear - what is happening with them here in USA The prices for 2017 have dropped. For example, the C900u preamp was $20K and now $15K, same for the matching amp. I had the 2017 price list emailed to me from the new distributer, jeff.sigmund@luxmanamerica.com. They are trying to have similar pr... | |
| Paradigm Personas anyone heard them It was the Persona 5F. The problem with the speakers was that the room was way too small. I also did not like the tube electronics used (not a tube fan) nor did I like the long wall placement of the speakers. The drivers were way too close to your... | |
| Magico vs Kef vs B&W vs. VSA I heard the Magico S3 MKII | Magico S5 MKII | Parasounda Person 5F | KEF Blade 2 all on the same day at the LA Audio Show a few days ago.I was shocked at how much I liked the Magico S3 MKII. I spent a lot of time with them. So much so that I searc... | |
| Can This Amp Power A 50 Foot Speaker Cable Run? My understand from the Bryston reps is that for long distances only use balanced interconnects, not RCA. The longest RCA should not be more that 2 meters. The balanced can be 100+ feet. Have you ever considered putting the amp near the rear speake... | |
| The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's Stg. Pepper was not my favorite, sort of in the middle of the Beatles catalog. However, after hearing the new mix on Tidal yesterday just blew me away. Stg. Pepper is a top 3 Beatles album now. | |
| Any comments on the Ayre AX-7e integrated amp vs the Hegel Röst integrated amp I have read In reviews that the ROST is the best integrated from Hegel under the H360 integrated. | |
| Any comments on the Ayre AX-7e integrated amp vs the Hegel Röst integrated amp The top of the line Hegel system with the KEF Blades 2 were fun to listen to. I listened to them for over an hour mostly by myself on the first day of the LA Audio Show. The lady demonstrating the amps asked me if I wanted to hear the ROST with t... | |
| KEF Ls50 wireless vs passive I have the passive and I am soon going to be running it with Benchmark AHB2 amp ($3k) + Benchmark DAC2 HGC ($2k) which will be replacing a breaking down Parasound A23 amp. I would recommend you get the ACTIVE version from Amazon or KEF Direct web ... |
