Name this wonderful system


 

 

Just took a listen to system on YT now. My oh my, this one is quite special. For bookshelf speakers the results are even more impressive given their size. The creator of the video on YT did not provide any details on the system specifics. 

From looking at the snapshot of the pic taken from YT, what do you all reckon are the speakers , the preamp/amp and DAC/streamer?

I have reached out to the person who uploaded the video for info, however they seem pretty close lipped and mentioned they have many systems so hard to know for certain.

I guessed the same myself vis a vis the speakers. Although, if one looks carefully at the speaker design, leaving out the trademark B&W tweeter horn, there is a more squarish look overall compared to the rounded edges of the 805. Probably some photo editing going on. Accuphase looks about right for the amp/cd player, even with the Luxman like first impressions.

Regardless, 2/2 for the 805’s is not a bad return. Suffice to say the 805 is joining the ME1 and YG Tor on my shortlist of bookshelf speakers for the near future.

much thanks for the input soix and Lalitk

Very nice clean looking system. I will not judge a systems sound quality based upon YouTube sound.

I have yet to hear anything as incredible as TAD ME1. They remain my #1 choice for a ultimate bookshelf speaker system. 

I'm always impressed by people who can judge the sound of a system by listening to a recording of the system on their system.  I won't say how I'm impressed, but I'm impressed.

Re : Judging sound on Youtube. I oft think if the sound is even remotely impressive on limited available kbps, imagine what it would sound like in real time. The same can not be said about Amazon Ultra HD , providing more than 2x the kbps than even CD quality sound. In of itself , a major leap forward for digital music streaming. 

 

The ME1 are quite the package, both optically and sonically on the summit of top bookshelf speakers. Did not think much of them upon first listen, then with time their sheer quality came front and center. Looking at a possible ME1/Aesthetix Mimas combo. Now , will have to set aside some time for an audition of the 805/Accuphase pairing.
