Jadis Eurythmie - Anyone ever listen to them?

If you like the speakers with VTL you should try a Jadis amp. I did a side by side comparison of the 450s and my JA 30s with EL 34s not the more beafy 6550 once at a VTL dealer in the Chicago area a few years. Even the salesman thought the Jadis was better. He told they they should be better because they cost more. I think the price differance was about 2000.00. The Jadis was more musical and appeared to have have more power and control than the VTL in either triode or tetrode. I can't remember the speakers we were listening to anymore. I didn't buy the VTLs.

T_bone, I do have that Sterophile issue. I just sent you email. Pl respond.

I was away on vacation (and from internet/email) for 2 wks. Thank you very much mary7c, lokil957, and nilthepill for responding.

Mary7c, I have a few questions so you will have an email in a few days.

Nilthepill, thanks very much for your help. Very nice to finally read it.

Two years on, I haven't found anything in the price/space range to match them. I have replaced the digital player, now have a Jadis pre-amp, and wonder about amps from time to time, but for the moment, I don't even think about replacing speakers.... well... I have to admit, I've heard the Avantgarde Trios with a set of 6 basshorns and if anyone wants to trade that set-up (and a house to put them in) for my good-looking Eurythmies, pls feel free to drop me a line... :^)

Wow. Eurythmies. I would kill to have a pair. I listened to a ton of Jadis gear in the last two weeks while on vacation in France and I was just blown away by their quality. Have you ever heard their new DA88S? It is the single most amazing amp I have ever heard. It was playing some very rare Apertura speakers (with Naim CDX2) and the sound was simply sublime. Jadis gear is in my future.

Arthur, you are a LUCKY man, my friend!

I just bought a DA60, and should be able to be listening to what it really sounds like on Saturday. The DA88S seems like an update of that, though they seem to be offering both products (just like they still sell the DA30, though the DA50 seems the update). Here's hoping the DA60 winds up akin to what you heard in France after I pick it up from Avi Brand.

I'd also love to have a pair of those Eurythmies...
