Respectfully, I wouldn’t consider any of those as top digital candidates.
I consider the following as excellent examples:
MSB
Esoteric (the latest Master Discrete)
Aqua
Berkeley
Lampizator
Etc…etc….etc.
As a diehard analog guy (vinyl and tape), I would love to know what you tried as far as DAC’s, streamers, etc.
The reason I ask is that although digital can be the equivalent of the excellent local buffet compared to the 3 star Michelin...
No, the opposite, they test almost exclusively in mono, after initially testing in stereo when they got the shuffler. I corresponded with Toole about this long ago. The correlation was inevitable that the mono winner also won in stereo. There's...

He didn't build either speaker, just measure. But yes, it's helpful to test something properly, as would be presented to users.
Please see latest link above.
Again, not much can be done to a 3" fullrange. Except laugh at the whole drama its...
Didn't watch video (even though I'm friends with Danny), but it seems the main "beef" is a 3" fullrange speaker kit.
That, in of itself, makes me laugh. A lot.

Not sure who "us" is in this context, but ok.
Well I'm a long time AES and IEEE member and would be happy to look at any published work about "significant limitations", as I'm pretty well versed in this area. Links?
No one sensible should...
I know, you're obviously oblivious to our history on AVS, HA, etc.
Completely irrelevant to 2022 projectionists. The hilarity of Flat Earther projection remains.

The "trust eyes", "just look" subjective "empirical observation", earth is as flat as far as the eyes can see folks...calling technically/scientifically literate spherical planets types "Flat earthers".

Good, but man, after you hear the 860v2, it’s no going back. I really like the 760A footprint. It doesn’t quite have the big sound and sense of effortless power of the 860v2, but in a small to medium room, great.

Not at this time. Stand mounts don’t sell as easily. Not big movers as a whole. Most people would just spent a wee bit more and get the 804D4’s IMO.

Until you’ve truly heard an AAA pressing, it might not be clear. Take for example, the album Mike played for me on his new Kuzma Stabi R - Lee Morgan, Cornbread. This pressing was from the master tapes. It was beautifully pressed. A 1958...
We use SAIA almost exclusively. They should call you to arrange delivery. If you have the BOL, call them and try to schedule a time now.

Jeff nails it. Great read.

Nice job. The new tweeter is longer and “sunk into” the cabinet to run flush with the new cabinet. We are definitely getting a pair. I want the active version sans streamer.

To my ears, the 340i is the sweet spot and the value play. The 600 and 700 bring more power and refinement. The 700 makes a statement visually and sonically, but at a significant premium.

I don’t know those Mc pieces, so a little hard to comment. A 2500 is a better reference for me. I always found the 2500 veiled compared to say a VAC Ren V. We took a 2500 on trade for a VAC pre.
If I was shopping in that budget: Pass XP12...
Tone? That sounds like a sweet little Jadis integrated or something to me.
But then again, with the current state of tube availability, the 866 might be a good way to go.

When I created the special forum for the magazines to post LINKS to their reviews and perhaps even interact with subscribers (a great suggestion from Jeff at SoundStage), everyone was pleased and thanked me for doing so….except Stereophile….their...
The DAC in the 866 does not outperform the LaScala IMO. It’s good, but the LaScala is very special and still my favorite standalone dac under $10k.
Do you find yourself needing more power than the INT-60?

Since we’re the American Distributor for Block Audio, we probably won’t be competing with ourselves.
They are $350 if you’re getting them with the top of the line Furutech outlets built in.
Otherwise:

No triple. They do make a double, but it’s for a small power cable. Best to stick with single only. There isn’t room for the C-Lock and more large outlets.

DIY speaker builder since the 80s. Grew weary of seeing speakers with zero ability to function with room acoustics being recommended daily on audio forums. Decided to become manufacturer in 2010 specifically to address perceived holes in the market.
