Radio silence for a week.
Have you sold the Aviors ?

Oh far from it!! I am just speechless at what I am hearing. Truth be told, it's quite a revealing experience, especially, in terms of scale, base weight and texture. The Aviors have now clocked over 100 hours in just over a week and the biggest difference has been the tautness in the bass and the sheer weight. I am loving the way these speakers envelope you with the music. I am a bit ginger turning up the volume beyond a point, nut I am going to just that in a day or two....man, the woofer excursion is frightening

More to come...watch the space!

Cheers

Brilliant, brilliant!!!! What more can I say.

+1...what a great assembly of components. I daresay they sound absolutely INCREDIBLE together. CH, Gryphon and Rockport...fantastic.

+ 2. Congrats Sujay on assembling a truly outstanding system. Gryphon with Rockport are a no brainer for synergy, and you've gone for one of the best amps in the world, paired with one of the best dacs at the moment (CH). Very enviable rig!

Guess, that congrats was meant for jazz head who has the burmester 808 preamp....wonder how i missed that being a burmester fan myself! Thanks bodhi, all the same!!

One day, I shall move up to the 808 myself.......hopefully, soon

Oh, no....confusion galore! I am still in sunny Johannesburg! I thing the reference to the mighty burmester 808 caused all the confusion given i have a full burmester system, other than the speakers, of course!

Hi jazzhead, actually I completely agree.... You have one incredible rig there! I am quite keen to hear your views on the burmester - gryphon combination. The 808 with the Mephisto must be quite something, though I confess this is the first time I have come across this arrangement.

Great to have your views - though I realize this is an Avior forum

The system as posted by Jazzhead neither belongs to him nor Sujay. It belongs to someone in Malaysia. This will clear all confusion.

Thanks, very considerate indeed! It does. Nevertheless, God Bless whoever owns that system.

Cheers

The Coltrane 2 is an under rated speaker. :)
