    Re: Top Tier Amps

    Interesting, but how is this actionable?
  4. Re: Amps that sound great with Avantgarde speakers ?

    Hi Germanboxers?
    Which other amps have you tried, if you don't mind sharing?

    Enjoy for many years in great health!
  5. Re: Amps that sound great with Avantgarde speakers ?

    Excellent! Have you heard the Ongaku, by any chance?
  6. Re: Amps that sound great with Avantgarde speakers ?

    Hi Joe, I am assuming the Luxman mq300 model is SET, while 590 is push pull. How different do push pull amps sound from SET? Or is one better than the other on all fronts?
  7. Re: Amps that sound great with Avantgarde speakers ?

    Bump. Any updates? Anyone find anything else special? Thanks

    Re: MBL 101e Mk2 install today

    Nice!!! I bet if you had the D'Agostino monoblocks it would be a closer match, but no doubt your MBL monos would still beat them bad. And, God, if you ever get the 9011s, Wow! (or a couple more of...

    And it would sound even better if he traded those Pass amps for the MBL amps. :) I love Pass on Wilsons, but those Noble amps from the The Absolute Sound cover are incredible and would be a much...

    Re: MBL 101e Mk2 install today

    No doubt it sounds great! How can MBL not sound great? :) No doubt the stage would be larger along his 19 foot wall vs the 14 foot wall. But he may have run into bass issues, for which he has...

    Re: MBL 101e Mk2 install today

    Congrats on the sale! And even bigger congrats to the new owner!!!

    Did you guys try placement on the long wall vs. the short wall? Doesn't MBL recommend the long wall?

    Re: MBL 101e Mk2 install today

    Hi Ritmo,
    What amps did you have before MBL? And how did the sound change when you upgraded your amplifiers?
  14. Re: Network switch, FMC, cable upgrades worthwhile when router can't be co-located?

    A friend owns both MBL reference DAC / transport and MSB. With reference level transports, the gap is wider even more toward spinning disks. CD via transport is a 10, ripped CD is a 7.5, streaming...
  15. Re: Network switch, FMC, cable upgrades worthwhile when router can't be co-located?

    You are also forgetting that some guys own multiple DACs. :) And all setups with all the tweaks sound different.

    And one of my buddies is really into vinyl and owns 6 tables (including 2 reference...

    My brother runs his with solid state integrated from Rogue, the Sphinx (class D, actually, with a tubed preamp stage). It's like a grand, or a few hundred dollars more in US dollars. He uses a...

    Hi,
    I believe Zu actually does have a couple of smaller speakers. It's on their website

    Re: Symposium Ultra Stealth Edition

    Seems like a very cool and effective product. Did you have to adjust speaker positioning after installing theses? And, if so, how easy is to move both the platform and the speaker on top of it? Glide...

    Re: MBL 101 XTreme Reference Install

    Congrats!!!!

    How is the sound different in your place vs. his room? Also, what sources and cables is he using?
  22. Re: Suncoast Audio goes to the EXTREME - MBL XTreme Reference System

    I have heard great things about those. What is the expected result?
  23. Re: Suncoast Audio goes to the EXTREME - MBL XTreme Reference System

    Are you using any footers under MBL speakers? I think MBL shows with either Stillpoints or Shun Mook Audio depending on the room situation.
  24. Re: Suncoast Audio goes to the EXTREME - MBL XTreme Reference System

    Thanks. Another important thing is synergy.

    And I know it may be heresy for some to hear this, I think the MBL Reference digital is as good as the MSB.
  25. Re: Suncoast Audio goes to the EXTREME - MBL XTreme Reference System

    And also, how big is the sweet spot? How does it sound in and out of the sweet spot?

    Congrats again!!!!
