| Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room In 1999 I bought a new set of B&W 802 Nautilus. They were not so high. I wanted the stage higher and moe free from the spaker. So I made a granite plate of 42 kg in the shape of the Nautilus. Even with the logo on the front side. And I used de... | |
| Siltech cable guages i.e. AWG I bought 2 sets of the new Audiogest Wel Signature. With the new xlr plugs. What makes it special is that I never heard such a physical papable individual focus. It is exeptional good in letting you hear very easy differences in height. The same t... | |
| Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers Hee Dave, I bought a Pass Labs X350.5. I will receive it next week. I think I will buy a .8 series in 2015. I could get a very good deal, so I will keep this for some time. I will let you know about the outcome. | |
| Siltech cable guages i.e. AWG Even with Nordost and Kimber I did win many shootouts in the past of clients who also lend Silltech cables. These were all very different sets compared to eachother. I always advice to test more different stuff. Even to clients I advice to test br... | |
| Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room The newer Wilson are better in smaller rooms, but still not easy. In the past I visit many Wilson owners. Almost all had acoustic problems. Even in a bigger room. When you spend this kind of money you need to be very sure if it will be a succes. D... | |
| Siltech cable guages i.e. AWG I give you a story about Slissstech. I remember that they raised their prices, but for dealers they lowered the prices. So that they could give more discount. Many shops didn't like this approach. I sold a lot Audioquest in the last 2 years to peo... | |
| Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room I had this problem in the past as well. What I did was that I took all my stuff ( amp/source/cables/conditioner) with me to the person who sold the speakers. It was a very good combo so I bought them. And my house it also did very well. I hope thi... | |
| Siltech cable guages i.e. AWG I am from the Netherlands were Slissssstech is comming from. Many people who also work in the world of audio don't like the people of Slisstech. Very arrogant people. In the Netherlands they lost a big part of the market for better cables. It is n... | |
| Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room For this kind of money I would try it first at your home. And I would take some time to audition to more spakers in this range. You could take a listen to Magico as well. The S5 is sealed, plays easier in a smaller room. | |
| Nordost Valhalla Audioquest is better. Take a look at the Diamond and Wild. | |
| Speaker suggestions - Pass XA30.5 $3500 I owned the XA100.5, 60.5, 30.5 and X250.5 and next week I will receive a 2 year old 350.5. I am thinking about the 350.8 later as well in 2015.Here comes an important note. I used the XA100.5 with Purist Audio Aqueous powercables with Oyaide 004.... | |
| Speaker suggestions - Pass XA30.5 $3500 I sold AP for over 8 years of time. They make fine speakers. But in the world of highend audio a wide and deep stage is what makes highend audio thrilling. This part is not the best of AP.The Pl-200 is superior in speed and has a much wider and de... | |
| Reterminate Valhalla PC I only sold original Nordost cables. | |
| Reterminate Valhalla PC When the Valhalla came out the shortest length was 2 metres. I sold many many Valhalla powercords in my life. When we compared a 1 metre with a 2 metre we understood why Nordost did not sell this. The 1 metre version lost the balance in the mid fr... | |
| Speaker suggestions - Pass XA30.5 $3500 The XA30.5 is a very musical amp with a wide and deep stage. And has more drive and dynamics than most other amps of 2 times 150 watt by 8 ohm can give. When you want to go to a higher level of the Thiel speaker you should try a set Monitor Audio ... |
