Just beautiful!! I'll get my pre updated someday but 458/468's may be a long way off. Ho-hum. Can I came round for a listen?

Perhaps Dartzeel is warmer?

I know Florian says that the M1 is like a Triode with Power.

The NHB458 is raw power and will drive most anything. Just look at the zize of the Torroid...it must weigh like 30kg alone.

The M1 id 70kg per monobloc and the Dart is like 100kg.

will be interesting to hear about how these compare...just started reading up on both. Turns out the M1 is 75kg and the Dart mono is 70kg.

Now that is the $64,000 question (or is it the $164,000 question??)
Details please!

this is what was said in another thread by someone who knows Boon.

http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showt...-ELITE-armwand&p=494394&viewfull=1#post494394

I bought both Kronos and AF1P from him. Boon is a nice guy a good dealer and he likes the Ironman.

Kind regards,
Tang

I've not personally compared them side by side. obviously i'm a long term darTZeel (Ironman :D) lover.

I heard them both on two different systems in the same room. All I can say is that both systems sounded very, very, very good. Electronics were not a limiting factor in either.

One thing to note is that the Dartz were handicapped in that they should have been used with Genesis G2jrs but the venue supply couldn't keep up with Gary's speakers. They had to go with an out of the box stand in and yet they came away with sound better to these ears than the vast majority of the systems on display at that show.

The CH system was fronted with an AF1 and ran Argento/CH Silver into a Marten Coltrane 2. The Dart system fronted by the then latest and greatest Walker into a mid model Ocean Way.
