    Help me find new loudspeakers

    @Camissa, you may have a wonderful journey ahead of you. My thought on VERY high end speakers I heard personally (Score 8.9 to 9.5). 1. Wilson Audio Alexia V, The older Alexandria and Chronosonic. Very very impressive. The Alexia plays an amazing disappearing act. 1.1 This is guessing -...

    Was he ill? It’s one of those days of regret. “I. Should have visited him more often” 😭

    FdlSys - Sad news

    Oh my God no!!! What an amazing person and friend 😭😭😭😭. The knowledge. Passion. His view on the world. Those eye always with a cheeky glint. The hair when he fiddled the whole day in his garage. The time he shocked me with a modest MM cartridge ripping way above its stature. One of the first...

    Moya M1- Vivid on Steroids

    Front still looks like an old GE fridge or that Navigator from original DUNE. That said I think it’s going to kick serious arse.

    Middle to Top range bookshelf owners

    By pure accident I read this. Was following the audiophile discussion. I’ll find out if they available. Problem with consignment stock is that people rarely tell you if they sell something, hence a new policy to have most in the showroom. I agree with 805d4. Brilliant. Clear. Bass. Can party...

    What An Audiophile!

    @achim. Got the Zero’s here. Sound ffff good! I love them. And no. Trio’s still my dream but I’ll have to live knowing I’ll probably never own a set. 😭

    Help me find new loudspeakers

    I have to admit. Some posts have helped our dear OP fffall 😂😂😂. The blades are very good. Heard them several times. Honestly first decide what you feel is wrong with your system. Nothing? Then buy a 911 gt3 and have amazing fun (I wish 😢) Need another type of sound? Go beyond what you know and...

    Oh gosh. Was this a Sales thread ?!? Then my apologies! I thought it was just a discussion of the perceived values 😳

    Leak tl 12’s

    Its STILL not a good amp. Riding a horse for the first time was also a moment in history. 90% of building a valve now is putting the right caps and resistors in the places the….valve application manuals from the 1940’s and 1950’d recommend. No brain power needed. Then when you wind the...

    Leak tl 12’s

    It’s already shown in the car industry. A totally restored classic. Even repainted sells for double and more. No not the Ferarri Dino etc. But then there is nou single piece of audio kit that has that rarity, engineering progress or attraction. There is really no extraordinary engineering in any...

    Leak tl 12’s

    I have to put something to all the dreamers :) You will RARELY get the R50000 per monoblock even on eBay. Please see if it SOLD at R50000. I have seen quite a few set for $1800-$2400 BOT on eBay. A friend overseas bought a set for $1500 and busy refurbishing them. Its a rare but rather average...
