Seem very reasonably priced. If they work, probably a bargain considering today’s high end audio prices for anything/everything.

I’m in complete agreement with you. I’ve heard many ultra-priced speakers and systems; none have impressed me as much as the Extremes. These speakers are absolutely fantastic.

I would...

Great looking world class system Eric! :celebrate008_2: Looking forward to your thoughts in a few days!

PS - Who’s the model guy posing in front of your system? :lol:

A few things:

- Lumin X1 (replaced S1)
- AQ Diamond Ethernet
- VPI Fatboy Gimbal 12" (replaced the JMW 3D 10")
- Ortofon PW TI (replaced Ortofon Cadenza Black)
- D'Agostino Momentum Pre...

Congratulations Eric! A full stack of MSB digital front end with their new amps driving the Magico M3s should be a delicious combination. Enjoy in good health.

Too late to include in Santa’s letter this year. :lol:

Look forward to your impressions Mike.

That is a dream system Mike! Congrats!

MSB Premier, Lampi Pacific, Esoteric K-05, Lumin S1 and X1. My favorites of that group were the MSB Premier and Lumin X1.

Sure, at my home MSB and Esoteric. At dealer, the same MSB and a Lampi. The MSB bested the X1 but it was not a night a day difference and it was much more expensive.

Ultimately, I decided to buy...

I have compared the X1 with other DACs costing 2 to 3 times more. The Lumin X1 does very well.

I heard this system yesterday. The owner now has BAT tube amps, Aurender streamer and the EMM DAC2X along with the Pass XS Pre. The system sounded fabulous. The Trios are the real deal.

Fantastic! I saw Chicago in Arkansas several years ago. Very enjoyable. These guys sound pretty darn good!

A true Jazz Master. RIP Dave Brubeck.

Great looking system Mike!

Small price to pay for such an extensive library.

Not having visibility to their financials, it's hard to tell if this a financial decision, ability/willingness to scale up production, or an overall change in the strategy (which will...

Yet another very positive review of the Lumin X1. I concur, it is a terrific unit.

This is a "head scratcher". Can't believe that they are not able to scale their business to do both.

Too bad. RIP.

ARC 75 SE is a darn good amp. Based on my listening experience AG - ARC is not the best combo. Viva, VAC, DAG play very nicely with the AGs.

Hola Roberto! Bienvenido a los “Tiburones de Audio”. Tienes un buen sistema de música - felicitaciones!

Congrats Mike! Enjoy the upgrade in good health.

Haven’t heard the new line. I’ve heard Audionet with YG speakers at shows in the past and found the sound to be too analytical.

You have chosen a very nice set of components that, together, should provide you a terrific and satisfying musical system. Enjoy the music!

Indeed, very inspirational. In my corporate job prior to retirement, we had Adm. McRaven at various corporate executive sessions. He is the real deal. A humble, courageous and no nonsense leader and...
