TAS Review - Soulution 701/711/725

Another issue of TAS, and another "best" from JV.
 
The Soulution 7 Series looks and sounds awesome. However, I'm really happy with my 5 Series, which also delivers terrific performance but at a more affordable price relatively speaking.

That retort from JV about the morality of what he is doing compared to other reviewers is bogus and it made me mad.

Some are more equal than others. A chip off the old HP block.

Making you mad would put the biggest kind of smile on JV face. Just saying. A new wonder product never before seen or heard till crowned by _______ a Absolute Sound legacy a tradition a right the way it is . Do not fight City hall.

Are we discussing the sonic virtues of the 700 series or the TAS coronation process?

Garth, I would love to hear your CLX's in my system. I heard them on one occasion playing a piano piece and I could have sworn I heard the foot pedals and key shanks moving in the background. That's how revealing the CLX's were to me. Very nice.
 
I think your return to ML is inevitable.

They are one and the same in this case, unfortunately, Le Roy.

I have not heard the the Soulution gear in my system . Cyril Hammer of Soulution did answer any email I sent and was very helpful . In the end the importer was not willing to loan out a phono stage. Burmester was so was Naim that was how I got a Burmester 100. The Soulution may be as good or better but I never got to hear it.
The CLXs are a lot of bang for your buck not perfect but what they get right is really good. A hard speaker to get set up right very rewarding when it all comes together . I have had them a few years now and they still are a wonder at how good they can sound.
 
Other than JV's often made declarations that this is the best component he's ever heard, for the most part I enjoy reading his reviews. He goes into a lot of background detail about the product (i.e. psychoacoustics on the Raidho D5 and localized negative feedback and SMPS on the Soulution 5 and 7 Series). He also compares the component he's reviewing to other components he's reviewed in the past. Some other reviewers refuse to do that for fear of offending their advertisers. Overall I'm glad JV writes for TAS and I will continue reading his reviews.

I think the point is, not whether Soulution 701's are world class amplifiers, but rather the constant self pontification by JV. It seems every month he has a new "best". Why not just say it's damn good as nothing can ever be "best" given all the variables of a system?

And yes, I'm a huge Soulution fan. And yes, they are my favorite AB amps, but others could certainly make an argument for Dart or other fabulous AB amps.

What I think got people cross though was JV's rationalization about why he is entitled to long term loans.
