Re: Heads-up, changes en route: Adding AudioNet’s engineering-marvel Humboldt to the system
Congrats on the Humboldt purchases. I've owned the Stern / Heisenberg combination for a while and think is incredible. From what I heard of the Humboldt at Munich, it's much the same. I would add to...

Re: Audionet STERN & HEISENBERG
If that's the end result, that would be incredible, given how good the Stern / Heisenberg is, and would make the Humboldt a bit of a bargain in high-end terms!

Re: Major impact expected: AudioNet Heisenbergs approaching
Shame but probably sensible. IMHO these are state of the art, which is why I now own them (plus Stern). Comparing them to CH M1's was no contest.

Re: Audionet STERN & HEISENBERG
I would put them in the following order, best to worst: L1 + X1, Stern, L1, all listened with Berning Quadrature Z's as power amps. It therefore depends on whether you think you'll end up with the X1...

Re: Wilson Benesch and Magico
The major difference to me is that sealed box designs like YG and Magico need to be driven to decent volume levels to come alive, whilst the music flows from WB both due to being ported but also due...

Re: Audionet STERN & HEISENBERG
Yes I prefer the Stern / Heisenberg to the CH L1/X1 M1.1 monos. It's not the neutrality that concerns me with the CH, it's a lack of dynamics compared to the Audionet. Even at lower volumes, the...

Yes - I've spent quite a bit of time with CH. The L1 is stunning, both with and without the X1 - great flow alongside precision, detail etc. The Stern beats a bare L1 for me on soundstage - more...
