| Amps for KEF Blade 2 e91811,Thanks for the feedback. I will have to do the home demo with the Benchmark amps. I was also thinking of the PS Audio DS or the Briscati M12 (soon to include ROON via ethernet).dbphd,I think the Ayre maybe a little weak for the Blades from ... | |
| KEF and Paradigm You should contact a few KEF dealers (there are a lot) and ask if they have any demo REF 5's if you are interested in buying them. I am looking around for KEF 1 or 3's myself and a couple of the dealers I spoke or emailed had demo units they asked... | |

| Luxman L-509X Newport is a bit of a hike for me given my current workload. I hope you can give some feedback from your listening session. | |
| Amps for KEF Blade 2 e91811,It has been a year since the last post here. I was wondering how you liked the AHB2 with your Blade 2? What is the rest of your system?I am all over the map on DAC | Pre | Amp choices for the Blades (for my living room). I am going to try a... | |
| Bryston 7b3 with Bryston Bit 20? You should ask your question on Audiocircle.com builder section for Bryston. That is where all the Bryston propeller heads hang out, including, VP James Tanner. | |
| Magico A3 If the A3 is a smaller version of the S3 MKII then that would be a tremendous speaker. | |
| Upgrading digital source device is not easy Great thread that I just saw about the RedCloud and DACs in general.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/i-love-my-ps-audio-direct-stream-with-red-cloud-2 | |
| Upgrading digital source device is not easy I have only heard 3 DACS that I can remember as being something I would buy. My criteria are great fatigue free sound quality and value ($$$). I do not think it is necessary to pay a lot of money for digital. The three DACs I like are expensive bu... | |
| Upgrading digital source device is not easy A used PS Audio DS can be upgraded for free to the RedCloud update. This thing also has ROON support via the Network Bridge II card. This unit is likely my next DAC. | |

| Magico A3 erik_squires,Room size is the key to any speaker. I am just exploring all options at the moment while I get ready to move to a house. The CA drought and fires may make my move happen faster than expected.I have been looking at all types of speaker... | |
| Magico A3 This must be the speaker one of the TAS writers was alluding to as a new $10k speaker to watch out for and also one he could not talk about yet.I liked the Magico S3 MKII a lot. If the A3 is of the same pedigree then this is a speaker I will have... | |
| Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio brownsf,I should backtrack on my "I hate tubes" comment. I forgot that I heard my buddy's Spendor D7's with an Audio Research tube amp and it sounded great. So I should just state tubes are have not been my first choice. | |
| Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio brownsf,I heard the REF 5 at a show in a big room driven by super expensive tube gear. I hate tubes but nevertheless I spent about an hour listening to the REF 5’s. I was rather disappointed in the speaker. The speaker did not disappear that well ... |
