Agreed, given the quality of CH amplification and preamps, this looks like more of a cable synergy and possibly other things upstream, plus setup and room treatments. There are any number of great interconnect and speaker cable choices plus proper...

Truer words were never spoken. One would think that critical acclaim (as a function of exceptional performance) would translate into success in the marketplace.

I keep buying records; up to 1962. However, I generally play them ONCE,,, why? I am too busy discovering new to me interesting music across all genres on Roon.

Mike replied to a thread Still dialing in Avantgarde’s for customers and friends (on a Saturday night no less) in Avantgarde

Alan, it probably won’t tell you much as it was particular for his setup with 8 subs (!!), four towering bass horns, 2 x 231’s and 2 x additional subs at the rear for his room and HIS type of music (classical). For one thing, we had to start with...

You do have to often wonder how people listen…especially at shows. That one guy who liked the Aries Cerat also liked the Linn. I’ve heard from numerous people these were the two worst sounding rooms (with the third being the new Vivid’s). Shows...

Mike, can you share the final overall speaker/room frequency response measurement (if there is one)? If not, perhaps I can "twist the arm" of the lucky owner to let our club members measure it (with XTZ Room Analyzer and/or REW) and compare...

Peter, I appreciate this. All I have on this sub is low level input. So just to be sure - I would be good running RCA out from the T2 to the sub low level input and XLR out from the T2 to the amps, right? Not to complicate matters, but I just...

Yes. Seems like the Wilson/CH room didn’t fair well either. Frankly, that’s a pairing I just don’t see. I mean, on paper it should make a lot of sense: speaker with a lot of lower mid bass energy and a slightly lean in the bass set of...

Generally, the easiest way to use a subwoofer with Lumin is to use the high level input of subwoofer. (I use the high level input of REL subwoofer.) If the subwoofer does not have a high level input, then the proposed connection in post #1 also...

Thank you! Yes, the midrange is quite special already. I am sorry to hear about the excessive bass in your system. As you can see, my room is on the larger size and benefits from the bigger bass presence.

The Gryphon - Magico pairing really is something. I think they complement themselves quite nicely. Though each system produced a different "sound", it reminds me how well Naim and Dynaudio play together. The mid driver definitely steals the show,...
