I just watched the video. Very interesting. But the video comments from former VP’s at Tannoy and new distributor are very revealing. I guess KD is no longer the distributor if I’m reading this correct? No love lost for me with him I’ll...

I am dreading it but know it is in my future. I don't have huge gear but I have more than I will take to the next house as it will most likely be smaller. I won't be needing 4 systems plus an HT setup. Heck, don't need it all now and keep thinking...

Master 300 for sure. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Me. Not a good match. VAC is a way better match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Even with the Select being 7 years old it's still that much better? I have no idea that's why I'm asking.

I liked the posts because it reminded me of a time 20 years ago

Not supporting anything, just making a previous post more clear. Chill Out :)

My friend bought a set of Tannoy nearly a year or so ago. I forget the model. They are really top build quality. It would be interesting to know why the change in distributorship. I agree it shouldn't be a big deal just to say where your...

FWIW - The handle was "SirTerranceTheTerrible" and he always got similarly agitated when referenced as Terry

That's what I suspect by his replies and behavior.

Like George I have not heard those two models. My impression from what units I have heard from them Esoteric will be more neutral and, dynamic with faster transients. By comparison, I enjoy Esoteric. Lux seems to have a bit more color and lush of...

First time I saw that I thought it was Frampton. After hearing it I had a whole new appreciation for Neil.

The Terrible?

What degree do, you, have? I didn't see where one is required. You and Matt need to get a room. Matt is the one you don't know. A forum troll whose name was Terry but who knows if that was even true. No one dissects a post and loves to argue...

That used one is VERY old, only one power supply (not two as standard) and the old standard clock (not the much better femto 33, which even the ref has!). A ref with femto 33 will outperform this used one AND you get to take advantage of the trade...

New Reference! Give me a call. Remember, the trade in of the Premier. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Why not buy the ACS30? Or, add the ACS10 to your existing N20. You can hook up an existing hard drive to the ACS and adding an ACS gets you future easy ripping/storing. metadata can be changed by the Aurender app or computer.

“I've grown to use it almost exclusively because with the Statement NG, music sounds more vital than it does through Roon.” When I first told people roon was not the best sounding, they thought I was crazy. How could software affect the sound? ...

They incorporated a streaming platform of Arcam's to use in their 5000 Mark Levinson home series. The same bay be true for some of their other lines, I'm just not sure. Acquiring Roon was a good move for Harman and has lot of potential for their...

Didn't Roon also recently introduce a feature for car audio use? Something about being able to play your music library in the car.

I may not understand what you are looking for. The Aurender ACS10 rips the CD directly to the internal HD. A entry solution the Bluesound Vault. The Aurender ACS100 I believe does as wellbut I'm not as familiar. The ACS10 has 8TB storage with 8...

I agree, even with lower end cables. You want Bright, PBJs. You want Bass, Groneburg

Poor Mark, you are a miserable person who lives to attempt to make everyone as miserable as you are. Any thread you have ever posted on is negative, you have nothing positive to contribute. You bully, instigate and aggravate. You snipe on...

"Back drop" would be more of the noun. I gave 3 contrasting examples in my original post to try to illustrate what I'm talking about. Although those systems may have depth and expand beyond the speakers there is an aspect of the space from where...

Competing with integrated amps….not their goal for 861/812. More small space, lifestyle system. Built in DAC/Streamer/Headphone amp and all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

No, but I’m not sure that’s their target. I think an 1161/1160 is a good target. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I'm talking about a character of sound stage I've observed in many systems, in many rooms and locations. You made it clear you have no idea to what I speak of. I feel it's best at this point for you to just move on. I don't mean for that to sound...

It’s amazing to me that people think wire is wire. The other day we set up the NEAT speakers in the back room. With the Nordost speaker cables, it was not a good match. That ribbon tweeter did not respond well. Switched to the Sigma speaker...

MEP is correct, it is a word I used to try to convey my thoughts on this. However, you pose an interesting caveat introducing electrostats. I haven't listened to enough to determine if what I'm talking about is noticeable or to what extent on...

With the ksa250 you should understand but if you don't fine. It has nothing to do with dynamics, transients or damping.

Then see if a bit of gravy changes anything.

Most manufacturers who provide quality gear reveal in interviews they rely on both measurements and listening. After reading the article linked to in the OP I clicked on another article at the bottom that talked about speaker measurements. It...

There was a number in the group who accurately admit they didn't hear any difference, so there's no absolutes. Meaning none of you know which group I'd be in or vice versa.

I didn’t hear anything in particular. Glad you guys love the styling. It’s a carry over from the Master 300 which I designed. The Master 300’s are my favorite tube amps (if I’m allowed to say that without too much fussing!) Sent from my iPad...

Looking forward to your thoughts after listening. If you feel any weakness in the sound I'd suggest trying a preamp.

Better to stick with the 300 or save for another 300. The 202 is basically the 200iQ with new cosmetics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

If you bought the Musical Fidelity what would you use for a preamp? Your H190 is integrated which is both preamp and power amp in one box. The Musical Fidelity will need a preamp. The Musical Fidelity will sound very different than the Hegel. ...

Nice set up

He said 7200 for the L100, I wonder if that's USD? If so, that's a lot. Even JBL is getting into turntables. $1500 is a reasonable price and I suppose designed to go with their other electronics they now offer. The thing about the L100 heritage...
