Dear Mr. Feil,
Aren’t you the same Bill Feil former proprietor of Audio Feil International?
Sound like sour grapes, Mr. Feil as our business is doing well and yours is what terminated?
As per others on any Vandy post Mr. Rutan is sure to make his appearance and why shouldn’t he, he is quite knowledgeable about Vandersteens and most people will value his contributions as a dealer who has sold quite a number of that brand of speaker.
We on the other hand are one of the very few complete displaying Kef dealers in the country with the Ref 1, 3, 5, Blades, R Series, Q series, LS 50, LS 50 wireless and T series products on active display so you could kind of say we know KEF’s products pretty well.
Over the years we have sold Usher, Vivid, Esoteric, Sceana, Polymer, Amphion, Gallo, Mark and Daniel, Elac of Germany, System Audio, Acoustic Zen and a few others before our current line up.
As per experience 30 years, countless shows and the widest assortment of audio gear in the New York market, might make you think we kind of know our stuff.
All of the above gives us a lot of experience, how many dealers do you know that sell and display most of today’s best digital products or sell many of the brands that people want to check out including the Paradigm Personas, the Legacy line, and the Kef Reference to name a few of our standouts as well as ATC, Quad, Cabasse, Rethem, Elac and a few others.
Rost:
As per the C4 sounding like ribbon or planer, sorry don’t hear it, sold the Sonus Fabers, including the Extrema, never felt like they had that kind of detail of air, even Dynaudio has recognized the current line C4 is not doing as well compared to their newer product offerings.
Based on your comments you fall into the musicality/smooth camp which isn’t a bad thing, the higher resolution designs need to be carefully matched with the right electronics, cabling and source to create the right balance between resolution and musicality.
Unfortunately many dealers and at shows these speakers are not setup optimally.
Again refer to Peter Brunninger’s AVS Showrooms, mention of not liking the Blades many times he heard them, he did mention the time he was blown away by them was when he heard them setup at the 2012 New York Audio show in our room,.
The Muons don’t look anything like the C4. the Muon’s are shaped with an organic tapered hour glass shape from a one piece all aluminum casting, while the C4 look like a box attached to a frame with normal angular box facets
Rost we are delighted that you love your Dynaudio speakers, we totally respect the line and do like their products, we just feel that some of the brands we are stocking are more remarkable in some ways than what Dynaudio is offering for the same of for less money than comparable products:
The Legacy Focus Signature is extremely musical, has good detail with state of the art Heil AMT tweeters and midrange drivers, and throws a huge sound stage with bass down to 22hz and 92db efficiency in a hand made beautifully finished all wood cabinet, for $7k a pair can you honesty tell me one speaker that offers all of that other than the Tekton’s which are very ugly and boxy and have a much less detailed top end.
Or the Pardigm Personas with state of the art pure Beryillium midrange and tweeters and remarkable imaging and clarity with 24 hz in room bass response for $10k a pair.
Everyone has their own tastes and ideas of what makes good sound, looks good and fits their needs.
