| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker You can get an excellent match between efficient, non-horn, dynamic, multi-driver speakers and SETs. I currently own the Total Victories, the Abbys and the Fab Audio Model 1. I now use nothing but the Fabs with a pair of ACI subs, and can't forese... | |
| Has digital come close to or beat up analog yet ? Readster,It sounds remarkable - pure and natural, just like music. I have yet to hear one better, though I haven't heard the Meitner stuff. | |
| Has digital come close to or beat up analog yet ? "Beat up?" Well, no. "Provide at least as good music as?" Yup. The best of even redbook CD digital now is good enough that the rest of the system including the room and speaker placement are more important than "silver discs vs. black", IMO. And i... | |
| Best HOME system you've ever heard To my mind there are two challenges in building a great home system (three if you count assembling thse initial bank balance...) The first one is figuring out what kind of sound you're after. The second is putting together a room that will do prov... | |

| PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength??? Kevin,My understanding is that the Model One is essentially a 6 ohm load. Am I misinformed? Be that as it may, I have absolutely no issues with the bass on my amp with its 8 ohm output, down to the limits of the speakers. The subs make up for the ... | |
| PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength??? After a bit more thought, I'll throw up a more concrete opinion. Unless you have a good local dealer with excellent technical capabilities I'd be wary of buying Audion. My story turned out OK in the end, but there were serious bumps in the road. T... | |
| PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength??? Gord's Saturns are $6,000, so all three amps are comparable in price. The only other PX25 I've heard of is the Tron, made in the UK - I don't know if it's available over here.I obviously have an Audion bias, but I'd think long and hard about the A... | |

| 6 Moons Reviews Zu Cable Definition Speaker I notice that 6moons has my speakers, the Fab Audio Model 1, on their upcoming review list. These are in the same vein as the ZU stuff - very high efficiency dynamic speakers - but without the powered bass of the Definitions. I've added subs to my... | |
| FAB audio 1 speakers, how good are they? Musicality, that's the Grail, isn't it? And how do we get there without sacrificing all the audiophile shivers and twitches? In my experience there are two roads to nirvana. One involves saying, "To hell with the audiophile stuff - I want toe-tapp... | |
| FAB audio 1 speakers, how good are they? My system is posted here. It's similar in many ways to yours, with an Audio Note front end and SET amp. I've been using the Model 1 for about 4 months. They replaced my previous Coincident Total Victories, which were driven by the CA-339, coincide... | |
| Ottawa, Ontario Last Friday we met at my place again, to taste the delights of the Audion Silver Night PX25 amp. It acquitted itself very well. I over-programmed the music, though. My bright idea was an evening of chanber music, chosen for the number of instrumen... | |
