Aesthetix Pallene

Thank You for the demo system  information.

Happy Listening!

I have heard Mimas with Treo CT, Vandy Sub 3 in a moderate sized room, approx 15’x18’, table was a VPI with a Delos, I missed IF it had the phono card.

sound was punchy and tight and Vandersteen smooth with zero fatigue.

last time I heard an Atlas it was in a system w Ayre CD spinner, ARC Ref 5 preamp and Vandersteen 7 mk 1 speakers. I have heard the Atlas signature since w other speakers. I would characterize the Atlas as MORE with drive a stake thru the center of the earth tight groove bass. The Mimas for the money is incredible!

now having said that, I have a soft spot in my heart for ARC tube preamps with SS Ayre power.

and in my reference system, I am blessed to have the Vandersteen 7 amplifier..

@jafant i would call Jim White at Aesthetix, he will know who has what and where close to you as I recall you are South of Atlanta?

Thank You. Yes, I am close to Atlanta. Nashville,  could be a second option, as it is a little farther away.

Happy Listening!
