Took a wonder into Stereo Stereo in Glasgow today on my lunchbreak. Shop was very quiet so I ended up chatting to the ower for quite a while. Had a wee listen to the Majik 109 speakers which I really liked, the guy was clearly very enthusiastic about hi-fi and offered to demo their flagship setup which came in at at a hefty £56k. The Aktiv speakers were 30k alone.
The source was a HDD streaming to a Klimax DS, Klimax pre, then Klimax Aktivs. He was controlling this with an ipad. I thought it sounded absolutely stunning (as it should at this price). I heard some Radiohead, White Stripes, then he played The Doors Riders on the storm, wow! Suitably amazed he offered to let me compare it with the Studio Master download. It was absolute night and day of a difference. I could here rain at the start hitting different objects as opposed to blanket rain. The rumble of the thunder kicked in I was tempted to look up just to check. Bass was awesome, separation of the instruments well I just can't describe how good it sounded.
Has anyone tried any of these Studio Masters? I also heard a Fleetwood Mac track which sounded a hell of a lot better compared to the ripped CD version. Does anyone know where to purchase these?
