Completely new hardware selection… magico m6  still prove to be one of the best speakers I have heard and owned, hands down…..tbc.

ozy

Owner
Kng, I agree wholeheartedly. The few times I heard an m3 and an m6 with tubes , these were remarkable experiences.

ozy

To me Magico always sounds better with some tubes in the path.  My favorite is with CAT amps.  Thanks for sharing your experience.

To my ears the soulution gear sounds sterile, flat and unengaging.
By contrast, the T+A m40 amps are warm, musical and   a pleasure to listen to.

ozy

How's T+ M40 sound compares to Soulution 701's on the M6?

Hi

Wow, lots of gear has run through your ears!!  Colour me jealous!!

What components do you miss the most I wonder?

For me, in my personal journey, my most missed would have to be the Sonus Faber Extremas, my Jadis JA200s, and the remarkably special LAMM Hybrid Amplifiers.

I'm sure others would love to hear your past faves and raves.

No, the M6 aren't going anywhere anytime soon.  one of the best speakers out there, at any price point , in my experience.

ozy

Owner
JM, just added a pic of the new system…. More pics to follow.

ozy

beautiful room, when are we going to see the new speakers?

judomaniak

Owner
Cy, thank you for your kind words. Appreciate it.
The room was built up from the studs up and mineral fiber, accustical rubber ,homasaut  panels an3/8 “ sheet rock to create an isolated/ insulated room.
Has its own sub panel and grounding. 
The treatments  were a trial and error till the right balance of absorption and diffusing was created.
The rest, plug, play and enjoy.....

ozy

I really like this system.  The gear speaks for itself but I'm even more impressed with the care you put into room treatments.  They're beautiful.

Silvanik,
 Thank you very much. i 'm  enjoying  this system  immensely.

ozy

Wow!...
such room care and electronics deployment deserve a lot of respect, I'm really impressed, furthermore your TAD R1's is one of my preferred loudspeakers ever, I can only image what level of satisfaction to listen to your system.
Well done, really really well done!

TH, 
Apologies for replying sooner.the dCS Vivaldi 2.0 is amazing. Even after 4 years of ownership ,I’m amazed how musical and detailed it’s sound is.I can’t recommend it enough.
As for the Sara vs. the hers-  to my ears, the hrs has the capability to open the sound further, and lowering the noise floor by a good 2-3 dbs.
Thank you, I’m enjoying it immensely.

Owner
Archguy, 
Apologies for  replying so late. First ,thank you kindly. I have enjoyed this system immensely. The combination of a custom built room , great acoustics ,dedicated power , combined with truly state of the art speakers( not just skin deep pretty finish ),and the magic of Lamm yields really a revelatory experience.thank you again, and happy new year.

ozy

Truly spectacular system.  Would love to hear it.

archguy

Pls tell me:
- about the Vivaldi's performance.
- about the differences between the SRA IsoBases & HRS M3XS'.

Beautiful system.  It must be revelatory!!

thesaint519

Just wondered if you had ever tried a 10MHz clock in your Vivaldi system -- I just added one to mine and the benefit is pretty considerable despite relatively modest cost (at least in the context of DCS)
