Monitor Audio RS6 vs. Sonus Faber Toy

Uhh.....yes!!

I hope that the improvement over RS6 to justify to difference paid.

Now is time for another amp and another cables!

Maybe Arcam,Musical Fidelity,Unison Unico, Audio Analogue.....I don`t really know at this moment!

On the other side,I think I will come back to Van Den Hul cables.

Were you using the Nad amp with the RS6s? It's not important now but I would suggest something with a bit more power with the new speakers.

No ,last time I had been using Naim Nait5i which I found to be a major improvement over previously owned NAD.

I will try to find something with more sweet,"organic", warm sound or how do you want to call it in order to partner well the analytic character of the MA's.

Good and ,unfortunately, bad news too!

I ordered finally GS10 from local MA distributor.

The speakers sound beautiful,definitively in another league vs RS6,and it fits perfect in my room.The bass is very tight and controlled.

But, surprise! today I discovered when listening some piano tracks that one of the tweeters is buzzing.

Now I must check again with distributor in order to replace the broken unit 🙁

With those speakers I'd be looking at Arcam amplification.

So teh GS10 are much better than the RS1? better mids?

but problems with the treble apparently

I'm surprised someone would buy GS10s over RX1s or RX2s. The RX line has almost identical drivers and technology to the GS line and looks spectacular. Unless the GS10s were deeply discounted...

but meybe differemnt crossovers.the rs1 sound much different to the rx1

I didn`t even think to RX series because I thought they are part of an inferior range (old Silver).

Anyway ,my deepest concern right now is that one of my newly bought GS10 speakers has a damaged tweeter and I am very skeptical to in house replacements which are to be made at distributor.

Should I ask for a speaker replacement?

ask to listen to the rx6's and rx8's and then compare to the gs10's, i think you will be suprised as to what you hear.

The distributor told me that this is the first speaker who came damaged.

Hmm, I must confess that I don`t believe him!

There have been many reports of damaged tweeters coming from factory!
