Thanks for all your help. My demo music piece is Symphony No. 7 by Beethoven. Paragon Regents sounded unbelievable playing it, but fell flat with more dynamic pieces such as Metallica or Aerosmith. Can Thiel 2.2 or Audio Physic Virgos pull this off?
Speakers for BAT equipment
I have a BAT VK-3i pre, VK-200 power, Meridian 508.20 cdp, transparent interconnects and spk cables. I listen to anything except rap and country. I was considering Paragon Regents for a long time until I read some reviews on Newform Research. I'm also thinking about Thiel 3.6 and Merlin VSM. Does anyone have recommendations for the best combination? Price range is around $2500, used. Thanks in advance.
