I agree. When they ended the show on Friday playing Led Zeppelin through the 97 year old horns it was a revelation.
Munich show 2023 Hifideluxe and MOC .
- Thread starter andromedaaudio

No more shows etc i ve had it a bit with the industry to be honest.

It was a 20 year pursuit but nothing more to gain really .
Besides constructing LS which i Just like to do

That zep they play is awesome. My quote from 2015. I first heard them in 2014
“That said, one of the best Zep I heard was when the Western electric horns at Munich belted Whole Lotta Love, reaching deep into the bowels of the earth to get the bass out”.
I ll give them.another shot tomorrow.
I listened to 3 songs.
The magico pilium wadax room sounded nice .
The best at the end of the show was the sensati room with viola Labs and some Scandinavian loudspeaker brand.
Very very good sounding.
My highlights today were .
Siltech amps and ls .
Rockport orion
Kroma vac .
Magico with wadax .
Sensati room.
Alsyvox for planars.
Ps my long time love affair with Wilson is really over.
There is one product i would really want and that is wadax digital

I didn't really get on that well with the Auditoriums for a number of reasons.
I don't think the Souless amps helped either. They are too sterile, lifeless and dry for the speaker. I also don't really like the way they are constructed or the build quality, which is below par.
They are using plywood clamps, and I certainly don't expect to see the raw plywood edge inside the speaker's bass driver. The paint finish is below par IMHO and nowhere near as good as a top car paint shop can do with MDF.
Sure, plywood clamps are probably better than the MDF of the originals, but there are better materials around for the job these days without any shadow of a doubt. Also, what is with all those aluminium slats on the front of the bass driver's? They just get in the way, will resonate, and they don't look well finished. Plus behind there's also a mesh, similar to that used by Apogee. Sure it provides better protection but I don't like it personally as a compromise.
Also, construction is basically more complex than it needs to be.
Do they sound bad? No, still fairly decent, but fun factor with more suitable electronics could definitely be upped. The Horizon from the Alsyvox room would definitely help, as would higher playback volume.
The Alsyvox system sounds quite a bit better I think. Not cheap, but definitely ahead of this room.
I am biased, but go to Graz or Henk or Jon etc of Apogee or Daniele of Alsyvox instead.
I think it was fine soundingdarTZeel plus CS Port, what a great idea!
any sense of the sound of the new darTZeel cartridge? i might hear it at the upcoming SoCal show.
It were very nice TT designs which were playing , both of hem
But I would have liked to hear the darts on the rockport orion for example.
Wadax was again the digital to beat .
I Listened extensively to Keith Jarret koln concerts which i have on tape on the wadax .
Magico wadax pilium..
Wadax is very good may be better then tape due to the noise reduction

Could you please comment on the sound of the Ensemble Audio room, and post some pictures & videos of their set up if its not too much trouble. THANKS!!!!!!
I used to be a dealer for Trilogy, folks should check them out, they make excellent tube gear.
Look forward to hearing your top five digitally sourced systems. Did you check out the CAD or IO Designs rooms? Would be interested on your take.
It is by far the very best sound of show. Not only Rock, also delicate performances with singer and chorus - holy night - in low volume was unbelievable good. Even from CD or USB….
After that i went to Nagra with the big Wilsons and it was slow, boring, dead reproduction from whatever some call High End
