I do too, but I think at a show, it's more about a bit of "entertainment" factor, not necessarily serious listening. And it's as much about meeting the people making the gear and asking them...

Hats off to Gary for playing FGTH. Thats a fun record and when they cranked it up, really showed what the Burmester/Genesis system could muster. The people in the room were smiling and rocking out,...
Mighty big words for someone who has produced precious little content.
Now that's intelligent criticism if I've ever heard it. At least you did manage to spell all the words in the sentence correctly.
Well, once again, we have a crabby person, that knows nothing about me, my business or my industry relationships, suggesting that I am a dishonest person.
I run a magazine. I charge money for...
We've reviewed a lot of Mac gear over the last six years, and have always had a great relationship with the factory. I've always felt that while not the absolute best stuff in terms of resolution,...
No the beer swinging guy is Johan Coorg of KEF. A great man to hang out with and have a few with. You got yourself banned from AudioAficionado by being rude and insulting to me, Robb Neiman (the...
Not really, and I don't care to either. Love both amps, different tonal characters to be sure. Pass amps sound a little more tubey than the Burmester.
And as far as the HVAC thing goes, it just...
Got my Burmester 911 mk.3 for a summer amp!
:)
XA200.5s here, love them. But, the Xs 300s arrive tomorrow for review and if they are as big a step up as I'm anticipating, they may have to stay...
Can't wait, it was a nice jump going from the XA160s to the 200s. Should be fun.
Going to Tokyo tomorrow morning, and will be visiting their factory this week. The review will be in issue 54.
Sorry it's taken so long, but we felt that the factory visit was a critical element...
A single 911 is my reference in room two, while the XA200.5s are the reference in room 1. The Pass amps are a bit more tubey sounding, a little more inner detail and the 911 monos have slightly more...
TONEAudio has a full review of Meridian Audio's new Explorer DAC and headphone amplifier. Plays 24/192 files, and is built in Cambridge at the Meridian factory. Product was announced a few hours ago,...
That was my experience as well....
So how many of you guys actually OWN or have spent a considerable amount of time with the XLF?
Both, actually....
Not that much different.
Got a 400 in here a while back to do a vintage article. Not a bad amp at all. Kind of grainy overall. Don't think I'd say it gave any of the modern amps any threat, and in comparison to the ARC...
Stereo recordings were invented for a number of reasons, but one of the main ones was to sell more speakers...
Good mono recordings are really a treat with a good setup.
I told Fleming Rassmussen I would put in a dedicated 220v line to review one of his amps. I've only heard them in Europe, but they are fantastic. Sounds like a great excuse to go to the Munich Hifi...
Agree with you completely. This is so often overlooked when everyone exhausts their adjective gland...
:)
Those Avantegardes' are another speaker I'd love to own someday. Always loved them.
And that's why there are so many choices.
96 db, "not that efficient?" That would certainly work well with my 845 amps. Or maybe a Kronzilla would be in order. Hmmmm. Maybe when I retire.
I bet your Lamms would work great with a pair...
I can see where the DarTZeel is enticing. I went back and forth myself for a while. With the Pass XA200.5s in one system and the 911 in the other, I can mix and match as need be. After four years...
