This is a great set of essential points. I have maintained for many years seeing all that you reference unfold, coupled with aggressive Chinese financial institution moves to buy up huge amounts of debt and other predatory financial moves in many countries including the US, Argentina, Pakistan...

We know someone who has upgraded his Grandioso P1X and dual D1X stack to SE level a few months ago with what he tells me are extremely audible, positive improvements. I heard a Grandioso K1XSE two weeks ago, standalone and also adding the separate power supply as an A:B and the K1XSE was much...

Beautiful setup and great factory tour...thank you for posting!

Great video recap Mike, thanks for sharing!

Capital is a great show and 2nd in size, giving up very little when comparing manufacturer lists, to AXPONA. It is a show that if you are so motivated, it is possible to see every room in 3 days; I tried that with AXPONA in 2024 and did not achieve it due to the much larger show size. I...

I am using one S-02 to power each of my speakers' connections that require external amplification. The Valor specification I chose is the one that requires 4-channels of external amplification and then with a further 2250 watts of internal amplification in each speaker (for the 2x12" subs, the...

I heard a fully broken in pair of M1X after the system had been powered up for just short of half a day and they (and the system) sounded fantastic. Returning the next morning and again in the late afternoon, everything was at run-rate and had matured a bit more in the ensuing 2nd 24 hour...
