Re: Qobuz and Tidal
I disagree with part of the article (one sentence) that stated that Tidal edged out Qobuz. As Nikhil above stated, "Tidal is noticeably inferior in sound quality. Not even close."

Re: Magico A5 Review
Bud I wish I had your S5 MkIIs instead of my A3s. The S3 MkIIs sounded great and put my A3s to shame. I can only think about the music quailty that must come from the S5 MkIIs.

Re: Magico Titan
LVB congrats on your 15s. Which speakers are you using them with? How has the performance improved with them?
Results 1 to 25 of 500
You should ask your dealer to bring the CH stuff he wants to sell you for home audition in your system. IMO there is no way to tell what will sound better in your system.
