Vlad, are you saying that transmission line speakers are akin to the Art of Bullshido?

Thank goodness they are raising thier prices. Maybe that's why they are not very popular in the U.S.. They weren't expensive enough. cough... cough.

Timing = Naim *music2*

I will look into it seemorebtts. Thanks.

Pretty good overall but I have to disagree with many you put in the category 4 list and one in the 3. Rega, Kef R Series, Audio Physic, Spendor, and Wharfedale I don't believe any of these belong in cetegory 4. The newest models from Rega, Wharfedale, and Spendor belong in Caregory 3. Audio...

Hey Vlad! Long time no talk. Nice to see you back here on the forum. Always good to read your contributions to the topics. You gave me some sound advice here. However, I've had this itch for about 2 months now and that is the longest iv'e gone before without scratching. I think it's quite...

I always had a hunch that Densen and Dynaudio might sound good together.

Alchemist and Blacksabbath, the Yamaha A-S3000 costs me $7000 here in the States. So over my budget. Otherwise it's a good recommendation. Secondhand? I've bought lots of gear used before but this time I prefer new.

Cno, I live in the USA. So I suppose some amps like Mcintosh will be better value for me here. While there is a huge difference in price for you in the UK between a Roksan Blak and a McIntosh MA5300 (£3950), the price here in the States is the same at $5000. Accuphase is also expensive here as...

I personally can't really get into class D. Although Primare does a pretty good job of it. Nothing sounds offensive. Class D has it's pluses and minuses. On the plus side the the class D amps are lighter, runs cool, uses less electricity, and can get a ton of power for the size, weight, and cost...

Yes gasolin, I think those Harbeths like the power. I guess most speakers sound best with lots of power behind them. I recently heard the Focal Kanta's which are actually pretty easy to drive. Once with a Naim Atom and Pathos Classic One and the follwing week with a 450 watt McIntosh amp. Those...

Cno, I like your post :) Thanks. From the amps I have listened to before I think you were pretty much right on the mark with those descriptions. Nice job. Believe it or not that actually helps me out in narrowing down what my priorites are. I need to categorize and and make a short list. The...

I'm still deciding on my next integrated amp. Thought it was going to be the Accuphase E-270 but then I got to thinking about all of the other choices out there. It's a lot of money so I want to make the best choice. I'm using Harbeth P3ESR's right now but would like the versatility of buying...

I've heard their CD Players before, which are excellent, but never any of thier amps. I wonder how they compare to the likes of Luxman and Accuphase?
